| Sep 9, 2018 at 22:14 | comment | added | Bennett | I know about duress passwords but it's not exactly what I'm looking for because, for example, there is usually one "real" password and one "duress" password, and if a brute-force effort found both of them, the attacker could usually guess which cleartext was the one you were trying to hide. I'm talking about systems where there are so many possible plausible plaintexts, depending on which decryption key you use, that the attacker can't guess which one is real. | |
