I believe Julian Assange worked on a system that would make it impossible for an external entity to determine if there is any useful information on a data partition. Basically you would have a hard drive full of random numbers and it would be unfeasible to determine if there is any actual information on it, without the right keys and tools.


I have never heard Assange's name in connection with this, but that's what Truecrypt purports to do: http://www.truecrypt.org/hiddenvolume


He did. It was a project called rubberhose.
