John Walker, legendary creator of AutoDesk, wrote a tiny piece of software that embeds a message into a jpeg file. The message that accompanies the image is the decryption key.
In my last post, I established that PGP is vulnerable to Rubber Hose Decryption. How is decryption possible if no one knows you have received a secret message?
Children make a lot of noise but know so little. You'll learn to be quieter when you grow up.
Edit
The PC version is gone. It was on fourmilab as source code. It was written in Portable C, and finding a compiler is probably too hard.
I had an Amiga back then.
You'll need WinUAE Amiga emulator to run it. FS-UAE Amiga Emulator for people running *NIX systems.
It's even more secure than it used to be.
