Deniability? #212

Open dbosk opened 4 years ago

dbosk commented 4 years ago

An important question not considered in this paper is deniability. Could the government use the presence of a CROCUS app on your phone be used to implicate a protester? Is there other evidence that the app maintains after the protest that could be used here? As an example, if a government deployed a witness at a protest, later, it could ask you to authenticate to this witness using the same protest ID, and only those who had not
authenticated previously would be able to do so.
