Hi, author here. Really happy (but somewhat surprised) to see this up on HN, and am generally interested in pursing this as a PhD thesis topic. If anyone has ideas or thoughts on novel systems in this arena I’d be very interested to hear about it!

Two possible (partial?) solutions mentioned on this thread were:

- TrueCrypt's hidden volumes

- Two OS's on the same phone; you have the innocent one booted up, and the other encrypted.

What are your thoughts on these?

Not novel, but not widely known about is the (original?) Rubberhose File System[1], where you can have a number of deniable partitions, and adversaries shouldn't ever be entirely certain you've given up all of them.

[1] site seems to be dead, but still on archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/20110709155818/http://iq.org/~pr...

Also, proff is Julian Assange.
Is it possible to create a "zip file" format that looks like a normal zip file, but has two passwords and two separate paths to decode to different content?
