Hidden Data Chips: The Best in Covert Data Transfer

There are little computer chips called MicroSD Cards. Last I checked they could hold one terabyte of data on a chip no larger than one's thumb nail. They are reliable technology, are safe from heat, electromagnetic radiation, water, and they don't break if dropped. I have seen speeds of up to 10 Megabytes of data transfer per second while transferring data from computer to chip, which much higher speeds being possible when downloading data from the chips to computers. A 1T chip costs approximately $100 USD and these chips are serving up 1T of data storage by name brand manufacturers, so they aren't fly-by-night generics, these are reliable places to store a large quantity of data without having to worry about data loss in the near term.

The width of electrical tape is larger than the width of a microSD card. This makes for it a perfect hiding place for these little chips. Simply wrap the microSD cards into enough electrical tape as to cover the chip completely, use some scissors to cut off any extra tape and you've got an elite, secure, and most hidden medium of transferring data from one asset to another. Oh, with the electrical tape fully covering the chip these things are water-proof as well. They might weigh a gram or two and are exceptionally easy to hide, and hide wherever. The electrical tape also protects the chips from the environmental issues that may make for problems with unprotected chips. Quality microSD cards are even X-Ray proof, so sending them in the mail would not corrupt the data on these chips if they were to be forensically inspected.

Another layer of security would be using VeraCrypt to encrypt the whole microSD cards entire file systems with its AES-256 crypto. By using VeraCrypt to secure the entire chips it would appear to be completely random data on there, and since it is done without a standard file system there is no forensic way to determine how many items, if any items at all, are on that chip, except that there is PRNG data for whatever reason on it. This could be excused by saying that the chip was securely deleted, which would produce the same look in examining the results. So there is plausible deny-ability, and using hidden volumes, a feature of VeraCrypt, it is possible to have yet another level of plausible deny-ability.

This is the most elite file storage device using commericial-grade technology ever released to the public, and anyone can do it, even you. Just don't be Evil.

You just have to make sure you mark them inconspicuously as WDE drives,
otherwise you might insert it, see the "uninitialized disk, FORMAT
NOW?" message and hit Y. Don't ask me how I know.

I think ordering a specific brand for crypt work might be subtle but
apparent to you.

On encrypted hard drives, I usually write BAD SECTORS or the name of a
virus on it.

Oh, crap, I suppose I need to find another code now.

Electrical tape can get gummy and make a mess over time. I'd
recommend wrapping the SD card into something else like regular
paper first.
