I've read that in Afghanistan they use couriers by horse who memorise
the message. That makes it practically unintercaptable.
What about rubber hose cryptanalysis?
===================
it ~may~ be effective against password recovery in some forms of crypto:
an attacker (torturer) would know when the password is revealed because a
valid message is produced.
a courier with a photographic memory could give up countless "secrets",
and none of them the ~right~ one. really, if you beat the crap out of
someone long enough and hard enough, they'll admit to being osama bin
laden.
off the top of my head, outguess <http://www.outguess.org> is the closest
thing to a real crypto app with a decent "plausible deniability" feature.
