View Full Version : Suggestion: Multiple encrypted partitions in a single file

I've always wondered if it would be possible to encrypt a single file in such a way that multiple partitions could reside. Decrypting the file would yield a lot of junk, and a header that would determine the beginning and end of a good decrypted section, which would load. Decrypting with a different password would yield a lot more junk, and a different working partition.

Of course, files would automatically be padded with a random amount of junk to make it impossible to know if there is another partition in there or not, and where it might reside.

They wrote in a different topic that they are working on such a feature. So i guess that sooner or later it will be possible.
