Lets imagine a scenario where you're coerced whether through threats, torture, or even legal pressure to reveal the password to your secure vault.
In countries like the US, UK, and Australia, refusing to provide passwords to law enforcement can result months in prison in certain cases.
I invented a solution called Veilith ( veilith.com ) addresses this critical vulnerability with perfect deniable encryption. It supports multiple passwords, each unlocking distinct blocks of encrypted data that are indistinguishable from random noise even to experts. And have a lot of different features to protect your intellectual properties.
In high-stakes situations, simply provide a decoy password and plausibly deny the existence of anything more.
Dive deeper by reading the whitepaper, exploring the open-source code, or asking me any questions you may have.
That sounds interesting, but how does it actually work?
This is called "deniable encryption" - you can honestly say "there's nothing important here" when using the decoy password.
And it is impossible to understand whether any one of the compartment is a random content or an encrypted one.
Is it an app? Is it a framework? How would it be used when one is being forced to open up their phone, does it only work within the app itself, or would it boot the phone into an alternate partition? Etc etc...
Also the website is full of AI generated images, buzzwords, and little to no substance.
