It's Steganographic File System #1

Description

@hakavlad

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that you've implemented a steganographic file system, not just "encryption app":

A secret name serves as both:

- the name of the entry
- the password

https://pypi.org/project/dmk/

This is a stor-
age mechanism designed to give the user a very high level of protection
against being compelled to disclose its contents. It will deliver a file to
any user who knows its name and password; but an attacker who does
not possess this information and cannot guess it, can gain no informa-
tion about whether the file is present, even given complete access to all
the hardware and software.

Could you please provide a high-level overview of the specification? Specifically, could you describe the mechanism for extracting files when there is no vault file header (if I understand correctly, "The file has no signatures, no header")?
