VeraCrypt&#x27;s approach to achieve plausible deniability for disk encryption:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;veracrypt.eu&#x2F;en&#x2F;Hidden%20Volume.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;veracrypt.eu&#x2F;en&#x2F;Hidden%20Volume.html</a>

This would be quite expensive to apply to whole-disk encryption, as you&#x27;d need 8x the size of the data that you want to store. Whether this is worth it or not depends on the threat model you&#x27;re facing, of course.

This is a very poor advice at deniable encryption. The structure of the ciphertext is visible to the reader - when you get your decryption you know that it is one of many.<p>I presume the true deniable decryption would work in a way that fully hides the presence of the alternate contents. Note, however, that most encryption schemes are specifically designed to be non-deniable, so you&#x27;d be caught by simply using organically grown crypto before even decrypting anything.<p>For those interested in paranoia, I suggest looking into steganography and forward-secrecy schemes with transient secrets.
