Offers security beyond that afforded by a regular
cryptographic file system, since it not only encrypts data, but
also provides a plausible deniability mechanism by securely hiding
the data.

“StegFS v1.0 is now available for download.”

“StegFS is a steganographic file system for Linux. It offers
security beyond that afforded by a regular cryptographic file
system, since it not only encrypts data, but also provides a
plausible deniability mechanism by securely hiding the data. It is
designed to give the user a very high level of protection against
being compelled to disclose its contents. StegFS extends the
standard Linux file system (ext2fs), allowing normal and several
levels of hidden files to coexist.”
