Nobody cares about data junk. Especially your personal data junk if it is all encrypted. I don't think that a lot of persons will look at your data there. If this sort of good encryption you consider for public cloud backups breaks we have a lot more problems than exposed backups.
- dillonb 10y agoSaying "nobody cares" about your data is not a good security policy.
- therealmarv 10y agohm. Security policies is something you can break with one way or another. You cannot break mathematics that way.
- dillonb 10y agoThe encryption tools you are using are written by people, and can have bugs. Being careless and blindly trusting them can get you into trouble.
- cestith 10y agoYou want math? How many combinations are afforded by your "long, carefully chosen password" in a symmetric system? How many core seconds per hour does a typical botnet scriptmonger control? Cryptanalysis of GPG doesn't even matter if Eve has enough time to brute force your symmetric key.
- bb101 10y agoWho knows? Your private backups might even end up being conveniently available test data for nascent quantum decryption software.
