> Whereas, using FractalCrypt you can safely give away the keys to unclassified volumes, and there is no way to prove that there are actually more volumes than you have disclosed.

So the problem is that you're going to use what exactly to decrypt it to prove plausible deniability? FractalCrypt? And then what do the adversaries do once they google FractalCrypt and see the phrase above?

Once your adversaries know you're using FractalCrypt, you've negated any plausible deniability.

Sure, they can keep beating you or keep you locked up, but you know that they will anyway because they'll never be satisfied with the amount you've given them. There could always be more. So there is no point giving up all of them. What that means for your mental state and the likelihood that you will give them all up, I don't know.

On the other hand, if you don't use this, they'll just beat you or keep you locked up until you've given the key to all the volumes they can see.

Which type is better depends on your situation. You can't just say it's pointless because they know what the purpose of this encryption software is.

I do make the claim it's pointless, as well as all other crypto software that claims to provide "plausible deniability" for the reason I stated.

The best mental state you can have is being able to tell all the truth and that still doesn't help an adversary to recover the data. That means keeping your key separate from your gray matter.
