In the US you generally don't need to hide encryption. The 5th
Amendment usually protects any key stashed in your head.
There's been an exception so far in a case where a guy allowed police
browsing, they found kiddie porn or so they say, the system got shut
off, and he wouldn't let them back in by divulging his key. A circuit
court said he had to give it up.
Lesson: DO NOT let US police search your stuff. You can't then revoke
that permission reliably.
I do "in your face" whole disk encryption.
Other countries including Britain and Canada differ, and that's where
hidden encryption matters - or any situation where "rubber hose
decryption" is even barely possible!!!
