<h2><b>Why anonymity is not enough for sensitive use</b></h2> <h2><b>What happens when you are forced to give out your password ?</b></h2>
<p>Lets say Charlie is using a popular online forum to leak information about a government agencys unethical behavior. To stay anonymous, he makes sure to connect to the forum only through Tor & VPN, and uses a burner email address to sign up.</p> <p>Let's say that Bob is using a popular online forum to leak information about a government agencys unethical behavior. To stay anonymous, he makes sure to connect to the forum using at least Tor to connect there. He uses a burner email address to sign up there, to upload the sensitive files. His Anonymity while doing this sensitive action remains solid.</p>

<p>This anonymity was essential, but not a complete savior. Only 10 people originally had access to the leaked information, so <b>the government uses its key disclosure legislation to issue search warrants for all of their personal hard drives.</b></p> <p>However, there are only 10 people who could have originally had access to the leaked information, and Bob is one of those 10 potential suspects. </p>
<p>The adversary makes use of the key disclosure legislation to issue search warrants to all 10 people, to get to know the contents of their personal drives. Essentially, they don't have anything solid against Bob, as the anonymity of the perpetrating party is solid, <b>but they are doing some guess work to try and find anything incriminating against him anyway, to make sure.</b> </p>

<p>Thankfully, Charlie neednt worry: he has set up VeraCrypts deniable encryption to separate his personal life from his leaks. <b>He gives the authorities the key to the main volume; they find nothing related to the leaks. The government does not know which of the 10 people was the leaker.</b></p> <p>Problem is, the adversary now busts down Bob's door, and <b>forces him to unlock his laptop, and unlock every encrypted volume on his laptop.</b> What then ?</p>
<img src="../encryption/4.png" class="imgRz">
<p><img src="../de2.png"> <b>Bob didn't implement Deniable Encryption</b>, therefore the adversary forces Bob to unlock his harddrives, and he has no other choice but to comply. He shows all the incriminating evidence contained in there, where he isn't able to deny implications with said Sensitive activity.</p>
<img src="5.png" class="imgRz"> <img src="5.png" class="imgRz">
<p> Bob's setup, although suitable for Anonymous Use, is not suitable for Sensitive use, <b>due to the lack of Deniable encryption</b></p>
<p><img src="../de0.png">For instance, if Bob had implemented <a href="../veracrypt/index.html">VeraCrypts deniable encryption</a> to store all that sensitive data, <b>he could've given the password A to open the decoy volume to the adversary, and claimed that there was no hidden volume, and the adversary wouldn't have a way to prove otherwise.</b></p>
