Shufflecake, AKA Truecrypt On Steroids For Linux - Tommaso Gagliardoni

Tommaso Gagliardoni (Kudelski)
Shufflecake is a novel, free, open-source data encryption tool that allows the creation of hidden volumes on a storage device in such a way that it is very difficult, even under forensic inspection, to prove the existence of such volumes. This is useful for people whose freedom of expression is threatened by repressive authorities or dangerous criminal organizations, in particular: whistleblowers, investigative journalists, and activists for human rights in oppressive regimes. You can consider Shufflecake a "spiritual successor" of tools such as TrueCrypt and VeraCrypt, but vastly improved: it is fast, supports any filesystem of choice, and can manage multiple layers of nested decoy volumes, so to improve user experience and make deniability of the existence of these partitions really plausible. Shufflecake is the result of a multi-year research aimed at solving fundamental limitations of plausible deniability tools. It has been peer-reviewed and presented at top IT conferences such as DEF CON Demo Labs and ACM CCS. It is under active development, and the open source community is welcome to contribute. In this talk we will present the history and limitations of other existing solutions, we will show how Shufflecake works and solves such limitations, and we will see why Shufflecake is an indispensable tool in the arsenal of users facing violent or coercive investigation.
