This should be more than enough evidence to convince a judge that
encrypted data is there, especially if the embedding software is found
on the computer. The probability of such a pattern appearing on a
drive by accident is far too low to explain it away; you might as well
encrypt your files normally, and then claim that the ciphertext is
just a file of random data that coincidentally resembles ciphertext.
