Editing Deniable encryption (section)

==== Container volumes ====
Another approach used by some conventional [[disk encryption software]] suites is creating a second encrypted [[volume (computing)|volume]] within a container volume. The container volume is first formatted by filling it with encrypted random data,<ref name="LibreCrypt">{{Cite web| url=https://github.com/t-d-k/LibreCrypt/blob/master/docs/plausible_deniability.md| title=LibreCrypt: Transparent on-the-fly disk encryption for Windows.

The user then fills some of the filesystem with legitimate, but plausible-looking decoy files that the user would seem to have an incentive to hide. Next, a new encrypted volume (the hidden volume) is allocated within the free space of the container filesystem which will be used for data the user actually wants to hide. Since an adversary cannot differentiate between encrypted data and the random data used to initialize the outer volume, this inner volume is now undetectable.
