I need an android phone that logs me into one fake version of the operating system when I unlock it with one pattern, and another OS when I use my real pattern.
Like a virtual machine kind of deal where the attacker cannot know that there are other logins, or how many. Preferably with some kind of automated system that simulates normal usage so it looks real but boring.
The novel Little Brother by Cory Doctorow comes to mind.
One PIN would log you into your real account, another PIN into a decoy account, and no indication of the other one existing.
That does not exist in the real world.
This is called plausibly deniable encryption, though you cannot hide the presence of the system itself.
GrapheneOS has a Duress PIN feature, which wipes your phone if entered.
