systems</b> are a kind of <a href="/wiki/File_system" title="File system">file system</a> first proposed by <a href="/wiki/Ross_J._Anderson" title="Ross J. Anderson">Ross Anderson</a>, <a href="/wiki/Roger_Needham" title="Roger Needham">Roger Needham</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Adi_Shamir" title="Adi Shamir">Adi Shamir</a>. Their paper proposed two main methods of hiding data: in a series of fixed size files originally consisting of random bits on top of which 'vectors' could be superimposed in such a way as to allow levels of security to decrypt all lower levels but not even know of the existence of any higher levels, or an entire partition is filled with random bits and files hidden in it. </p><p>In a steganographic file system using the second scheme, <a href="/wiki/Computer_file" title="Computer file">files</a> are not merely stored, nor stored <a href="/wiki/Encryption" title="Encryption">encrypted</a>, but the entire <a href="/wiki/Disk_partitioning" title="Disk partitioning">partition</a> is randomized - encrypted files strongly resemble randomized sections of the partition, and so when files are stored on the partition, there is no easy way to discern between meaningless <a href="/wiki/Gibberish" title="Gibberish">gibberish</a> and the actual encrypted files. Furthermore, locations of files are derived from the key for the files, and the locations are hidden and available to only programs with the passphrase. This leads to the problem that very quickly files can overwrite each other (because of the <a href="/wiki/Birthday_Paradox" class="mw-redirect" title="Birthday Paradox">Birthday Paradox</a>); this is compensated for by writing all files in multiple places to lessen the chance of data loss. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Advantage">Advantage</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Steganographic_file_system&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Advantage"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>While there may seem to be no point to a file system which is guaranteed to either be grossly inefficient storage space-wise or to cause data loss and corruption either from data collisions or loss of the <a href="/wiki/Key_(cryptography)" title="Key (cryptography)">key</a> (in addition to being a complex system, and for having poor read/write performance), performance was not the goal of StegFS. Rather, StegFS is intended to thwart <a href="/wiki/Rubber-hose_cryptanalysis" class="mw-redirect" title="Rubber-hose cryptanalysis">"rubberhose attacks"</a>, which usually work because encrypted files are distinguishable from regular files, and authorities can coerce the user until the user gives up the keys and all the files are distinguishable as regular files. However, since in a steganographic file system, the number of files are unknown and every byte looks like an encrypted byte, the authorities cannot know how many files (and hence, keys) are stored. The user has <a href="/wiki/Plausible_deniability" title="Plausible deniability">plausible deniability</a> — he can say there are only a few innocuous files or none at all, and anybody without the keys cannot gainsay the user. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Criticisms">Criticisms</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Steganographic_file_system&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Criticisms"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Poul-Henning_Kamp" title="Poul-Henning Kamp">Poul-Henning Kamp</a> has criticized the <a href="/wiki/Threat_model" title="Threat model">threat model</a> for steganographic file systems in his paper on <a href="/wiki/GBDE" title="GBDE">GBDE</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> observing that in certain coercive situations, especially where the searched-for information is in fact not stored in the steganographic file systems, it is not possible for a subject to "get off the hook" by proving that all keys have been surrendered. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Other_methods">Other methods</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Steganographic_file_system&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Other methods"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Other methods exist; the method laid out before is the one implemented by <a href="/wiki/StegFS" title="StegFS">StegFS</a>, but it is possible to <a href="/wiki/Steganography" title="Steganography">steganographically</a> hide data within image (e.g. <a href="/w/index.php?title=PNGDrive&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="PNGDrive (page does not exist)">PNGDrive</a>) or audio files- <a href="/wiki/ScramDisk" class="mw-redirect" title="ScramDisk">ScramDisk</a> or the Linux <a href="/wiki/Loop_device" title="Loop device">loop device</a> can do this.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

For example, the steganographic file system layer can be some existing MP3 files, each file contains a chunk of data (or a part of the file system). The final product is a file system that is hardly detected (depending on the steganographic layer) that can store any kind of file in a regular file system hierarchy. </p><p><a href="/wiki/TrueCrypt"
