Plausible Deniability in Cryptography: Building a Duress Password in Rust
The article discusses the implementation of a duress password feature in a Rust-based steganography tool called Anyhide. This feature is designed to provide plausible deniability in situations where a user may be coerced into revealing a passphrase. By allowing users to encode a decoy message alongside the real message, the tool aims to protect users from adversaries who may force them to disclose sensitive information.
- ▪The duress password feature allows users to encode a decoy message that can be revealed under coercion.
- ▪Anyhide's decoder never returns an error for any input, reducing the risk of revealing the real passphrase.
- ▪The design ensures that both the real and decoy messages appear indistinguishable to an adversary.
