- tptacek 16y agoTaking systems like this that purport to be secure because of strong encryption and tearing them down is literally my day job. In no set of circumstances would we accept a project for which the terms are "here's an encrypted file, DECRYPT IT!". You could encrypt the file with FEAL-4 and still blow $5,000 of attacker budget "analyzing" a "system" like this. Meanwhile, there is no trivial way I can find to get details on how your system works, or on the details of what aspects of OpenPGP you use or how your system is configured to use it. To download a white paper on your security, I was asked to fill out a form. No. As a practitioner, this contest doesn't demonstrate to me the resilience of "modern encryption". It demonstrates to me that you've never had a professional assessment of your system and that you don't understand how "modern crypto" actually breaks. To someone with a basic understanding of how cryptosystems work, your contest has the impact opposite to the one you intend. Having said all that, the fact that you use OpenPGP instead of a vanity "AES plus RSA" scheme might be a plus. You know, if you documented it anywhere.
