Say It Ain't So - An Implementation of Deniable Encryption

Presented at Black Hat Asia 2014, Unknown date/time (Unknown duration)

We are interested in the ability to lie convincingly about the contents of an encrypted file, a variation of "deniable encryption" from the cryptography literature. A reasonable scenario may involve a businessman traveling through dangerous territory with sensitive documents, who, if kidnapped or under duress, wants to be able to convincingly lie to his kidnappers about the contents of his documents.
