A cover-plaintext encrypt is a topic of discussion used to create a virtual reality which conceals a true encrypted dialogue. Plaintext encryption allows the encrypting parties to use two channels of discourse- the phony channel which a skilled adversary will see when he decrypts, and the real, uncrackable channel that the phony channel represents. I suggest for concealing commercial and industrial information, that the conversing parties rifle their files for every bad and impractical idea their respective R&D departments have rejected. These ideas and all of the information filed with the ideas can be used to create a phony dialogue about the errant technology, which would conceal the real dialogue and technical information being exchanged. Using controlled plaintext encryption, it is possible, using rule based expert systems and adequate discourse structure to create a fully encrypted artificial dialogue that contains all of the encrypted information. Thus, when the clever adversary decrypts PGP 2.0 or DES or whatever, the adversary will only see an involved discussion about technical concepts that only after involved investigation will prove to be fruitless. This is how technical information will be concealed in the future. Any comments?
