Plausible Deniability ~ a privacy property

PALS Parlor Podcast

Join us in today's episode as we delve into the captivating world of plausible deniability as a privacy property. Discover how this principle, initially perceived as encouraging dishonesty, actually empowers individuals to be honest and transparent without fear of repercussions.
We unravel the essence of plausible deniability - the ability to deny actions that cannot be confirmed or refuted by others. Explore scenarios where plausible deniability triumphs over non-repudiation, such as in applications used by whistleblowers to protect their safety.
Dive into the distinction between plausible deniability and non-repudiation, where one provides undeniable evidence while the other maintains ambiguity. Learn how confidentiality shields sensitive information, while plausible deniability allows individuals to disavow knowledge or involvement in certain actions.
Explore real-world use cases where plausible deniability shines, from whistleblower apps ensuring anonymity to voters safeguarding their privacy during elections.
Don't miss this enlightening exploration of how privacy-enhancing technologies are reshaping the landscape of data protection and trust in our digital world. Join us on this journey through the realms of privacy, security, and empowerment.
