Ross Anderson, Roger Needham, Adi Shamir. Steganographic File System (The), IHW'98 - Proc. of the International Information hiding Workshop, April. 1998. [.gz]   Abstract. Users of some systems are at risk of being compelled to disclose their keys or other private data, and this risk could be mitigated if access control mechanisms supported an element of plausible deniability. However, existing plausible deniability mechanisms, such as the one­time pad, are of rather limited scope. In this paper, we present the steganographic file system. This is a storage mechanism designed to give the user a very high level of protection against being compelled to disclose its contents. It will deliver a file to any user who knows its name and password; but an attacker who does not possess this information and cannot guess it, can gain no information about whether the file is present, even given complete access to all the hardware and software. We provide two independent constructions, which make slightly different assumptions. | Neil's Homepage | Steganography | JJTC Main Page | Send comments to nfj(at)jjtc(dot)com.
