MobiWear
MobiWear is a prototype which can be used to hide sensitive data in smartwatch (against coercive attackers), leveraging image steganography and plausibly deniable encryption. The prototype was implemented by modifiying the existing open-sourced code, and can only support LG G watch. The following demo videos show how the prototype works currently.
Embed secret data: The user provides both a public password and a secret password to hide ``HELLO'' into a cover image. The password is entered via gyroscop.
Extract secret data via both the decoy and the true key: The user uses both the public password and the secret password to extract the ``HELLO'' from the cover image; if only the public password is provided, only the watermark instead of ``HELLO'' will be extracted, which can defend against a coercive attack.
