Another important set of discussions continues to be the use of crypto itself as a flag to oppressive authorities.
As a result, Cypherpunks have discussed ( and even developed ) several approaches to crypto that hide even the use of crypto itself or that allow interrogators to believe that they have forcibly extracted hidden information from an interogee.
For instance, " Rubberhose " was a tool ( developed by Julian Assange ) that partitioned and intermixed secret data on a drive with " fake secret data ", each of which accessed via a different password.
Interrogators, having extracted a password, will be led to believe that they have indeed unlocked the desired secrets, whereas in reality the actual data is still hidden.
In other words, even its presence is hidden.
Likewise, Cypherpunks have also discussed under what conditions messages could be encrypted without becoming noticed or flagged as special by network monitoring systems installed by oppressive regimes.
