Quote from: UK Stealth on January 10, 2013, 03:29 amNot sure i wanna go with PGP anymore seems the law bodies can get one of these now :(.. Please read this article tell me im wrong. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/12/20/elcomsoft_tool_decrypts_pgp Does anyone have a better solution i was thinking of using https://privnote.com/I would suggest that _you_ read the article again, S L O W L Y, for comprehension, this time. Just in case you missed it the first time, here the salient points: - ... "[E]ncryption technology, in the right conditions, can be circumvented thanks to human laziness:"- "Weak passwords aside, encrypted volumes must be mounted for the user to have on-the-fly access to encrypted data."- "If the computer is powered off, the analyser can retrieve the keys from a hibernation file on the disk, in which the operating system saves the state of the machine including its main memory, if present and accessible. Solutions: =========* Don't be a lazy sod -- don't afford the authorities the right conditions. * Be anonymous. If they can't find you, they can't get physical access to your computer now, can they? * Don't use weak passwords -- use Diceware -- 8-10 words are unbreakable, for the foreseeable future. See: http://www.diceware.com/ * Don't leave your drives mounted when you're not at the computer. * If your computer has a Firewire port, put expoxy in it, preventing them from using their tool to gather data in the computer's memory.  * Don't hiberate your computer, EVER. * Encrypt your swap file. None of the attacks describe here are new -- they were described in the original PGP documenation in 1991-92, you just have take the steps I've outline above to defeat this type of attack. BTW, UK Stealth, since you're obviously in the UK, you have another reason for staying anonymous -- the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, Part III (RIPA). Under the terms of this Act, if the authorities demand that you decrypt encrypted data, and you refuse, you go to to jail for up to two years. If you thought PGP wasn't effective, why do you Parliament passed RIPA, Part III?Nightcrawler <Nightcrawler@SR>PGP-Key: 4096R/BBF7433B 2012-09-22Key fingerprint = D870 C6AC CC6E 46B0 E0C7 3955 B8F1 D88E BBF7 433Bhttp://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=174.msg633090#msg633090
