Depends on where you are and what you're doing.


[...]

Moral of the story: there are times when you very much want to prove
that you _don't_ have certain data.  TrueCrypt's design makes these
sorts of proofs impossible.

Well, it actually gives you the choice -- as I recall the hidden volume feature requires that the outer volume be formatted as FAT, so if you need prove that no hidden volume exists, formatting the outer volume as NTFS accomplishes this.

Of course, this probably won't help you, because the rubber-hose cryptanalyst probably won't follow this explanation and understand the design well enough to be convinced. But still.

And, the hidden volume feature *is* still useful if you actually do have the data they're looking for - as you say, it depends on what you're doing.
