- mirimir 10y agoI don't mean normal online accounts. I mean something like the WikiLeaks upload site.[0] Once stuff is uploaded, you don't have control, or even access. 0) http://wlupld3ptjvsgwqw.onion http://wlupld3ptjvsgwqw.onion
- loup-vaillant 10y agoI'm sure we can think of a "double lock" feature, where you allow a friend to lock you out of your account. There's even an easy local solution: encrypt your data with a friend's public key (sealed box in libsodium parlance). It may be seized and intercepted, but you can't possibly decrypt it. That's probably the kind of scheme Snowden used when he arranged his inability to decrypt his NSA data even if captured and tortured by some foreign country.
- RcouF1uZ4gsC 10y agoThe really bad people, are probably at that point going torture you just to make an example of you to discourage others from doing the same.
- mirimir 10y agoYeah, that's the downside of carrying stuff that you can't decrypt. They won't believe you, and won't stop until you decrypt it. Better is not to have anything sensitive with you.
- pessimizer 10y agoEncrypted volumes look random. There's no way of proving whether or not you have something you can't decrypt. Hence the need to have some innocent volume to decrypt as a tool in the argument to convince an interrogator that you have nothing left to hide.
- loup-vaillant 10y agoBetter yet, fill every hard drive with random junk before formatting and selling them. If everyone has random data in their free space, it won't even look suspicious.
