However, in real-world threat models, coercion and rubber-hose cryptanalysis remain significant vulnerabilities.</p>
<p><strong>DIEGOX</strong> is an open-source Rust application designed to solve both problems simultaneously: protecting data against future quantum decryption while offering plausible deniability under physical pressure.</p>
<hr />
<h3>👁️ How the Dual-KEM Decoy System Works</h3>
<p>Instead of a standard single-payload vault, DIEGOX structures its encrypted output using a Chameleon architecture featuring two slots within one file container:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>The Real Vault (Alpha Slot):</strong> Decrypted only via the main passphrase.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>The Decoy Vault (Beta Slot):</strong> Decrypted via a secondary passphrase, exposing plausible dummy data.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Because of how the Dual-KEM structure formats the underlying ciphertext, an adversary analyzing the file cannot distinguish whether it contains one or two slots, preserving full plausible deniability.</p>
<hr />
<h3>🔬 Under the Hood</h3>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>Lattice-Based Encryption:</strong> Implements Learning With Errors (LWE) to remain secure in a post-quantum computing landscape.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Key Derivation:</strong> Argon2id parameters designed to neutralize GPU/ASIC acceleration during brute-force attempts.</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Native GUI:</strong> Developed using <code>eframe</code> and <code>egui</code> for a lightweight, cross-platform Cyberpunk interface.</p>
</li>
</ul>
