stegosaur

Stegosaur is intended to be a small, fast, secure datastore for any type of data. Items inserted into this datastore can be hidden steganographically such that it is impossible not only to read them but also even to prove that they exist without the correct key. It should be possible to create a "decoy" key which unlocks only innocuous items, with more sensitive items requiring a different key. This way, if coerced into surrendering a key, a Stegosaur user could volunteer the "decoy" key while plausibly denying that any other keys exist, thereby keeping the sensitive data secure from prying eyes. Stegosaur itself will merely be an engine which developers can then use to build applications. (A very small example application will be included). The initial 1.0 release will be quite modest in terms of features: The ability to create an arbitrarily-sized datastore on disk into which items can be inserted, encrypted, and hidden steganographicall
