Thanks GreenGiant,Yes sad to say here in the UK we're at the mercy of RIPA (Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act) which was brought in around 12 years ago and requires that a person provide a "key" on request to make encrypted data legible or face conviction and imprisonment of up to two years.I don't know if this has already been touched on but a key in this sense could be a password, or keyfile on a disk. Some people have even tried to circumvent the problem by having a third party encode their data but obviously RIPA would apply to them too.As the article rightly states this may be preferable to revealing what is on the computer but the problem can easily be circumvented as GreenGiant rightly says through use of plausible denaibility in encryption - this is very easy to implement with a Truecrypt container. To my knowledge the legislation has only been invoked twice, where a suspect has actually been convicted. In terms of the Human Rights Act I do think they're on fairly dodgy ground as it erodes the right to silence but don't imagine your case will get as far as the ECHR if you're in this situation!They Yubikey is a great tool for providing an additional layer of security but obviously should be used in combination with a strong password/keyfiles.Thanks,V.Quote from: GreenGiant on May 11, 2012, 10:11 amQuote from: Limetless on May 11, 2012, 02:00 amQuote from: GreenGiant on May 11, 2012, 01:54 amI just keep everything on a hidden truecrypt partition on a USB. Due to UK laws regarding with holding passwords i would not want a Yubikey containing any details to do with SR in my possession.Are you in the U.K too GG? What are the U.K laws on with-holding passwords?Yeah Limetless I am UK based, one of the older UK vendors i would say.CLEARNET WARNINGhttp://www.tomsguide.com/us/password-uk-law-encryption-porn,news-8239.htmlthat is a story of a 19year old boy in a child porn case, the police could not hack his encryption, so they just banged him up for not revealing his passwords. Pretty sure you can be charged as a terrorist instead, In this boys situation i know which charge i would rather have.If the police came knocking at my door i would rather stick with my hidden partition, which i can reveal the password for the None hidden partition avoiding a unnecessary charge for not disclosing my yubikey password.edit: I know hidden partition does nothing to protect against keyloggers, but i would rather take my chances with the hackers than being found with physical evidence.
