Abstract

Deniable encryption is a concept very important nowadays. The possibility to be forced to reveal encrypted files password makes this property interesting. This proposal goal is to study and implement deniable encryption mechanisms in multi-cloud storage environments. We will create a module that will be deployed in a storage dispersal tool enabling this feature on it. (AU)
