There's deniable encryption to counter the wrench attack

> There's deniable encryption to counter the wrench attack

The trouble with deniable encryption is its viable use-case is very narrow.

It is, for example, not viable to use deniable encryption when exchanging messages with others.

If the authorities, through whatever means, get the a copy of an encrypted message you sent, and they have done sufficient metadata homework to link it back to you, find your address and come knock on your door, then you are going to seriously struggle with a deniable encryption defence.
