Deniable encryption is only a part of the solution. There's no perfect solution to protect yourself and your data if you get caugth by an adversary. You can hardly avoid the suspicion of encryption, even if the adversary can't prove it. I'll list the issues and solutions.
Deniable Encryption - The Faculty of Mathematics and An encryption scheme is deniable if the sender can generate ‘fake random choices’ that will make the ciphertext ‘look like’ an encryption of a different cleartext, thus keeping the real cleartext private. Analogous requirements can be formulated with respect to attacking the receiver and with respect to attacking both parties. Deniable Encryption | Request PDF - ResearchGate Deniable encryption (Canetti et al. CRYPTO ’97) is an intriguing primitive that provides a security guarantee against not only eavesdropping attacks as required by semantic security, but also

Bruce Schneier argues in his paper about TrueCrypt and DFS (Deniable File System) that there are environment cues around partitions that look like random noise that defeat plausible deniability. Whether you believe the paper's arguments is your call (I do not), but it gives yet another sight on how plausible deniability is a weak defence.

Deniable Encryption. In 1997, Canetti, Dwork, Naor, and Ostrovsky [CDNO97] proposed the intriguing problem of deniable encryption: In deniable (public-key) encryption, there is a public key used for encryption by an honest sender, to produce a ciphertext that is made public. Bi-Deniable Public-Key Encryption 1 [DF’11] announcedinteractive,fully sender-deniable encryption F Unfortunately, there is a fatal bug in deniability claim (& an attack) F Obtaining full deniability remains an intriguing open problem! 2 “Fully receiver-/bi-deniable PKE is impossible” [BNNO’11] F Formally: ˙ …
