I often TrueCrypt (http://www.truecrypt.org/ http://www.truecrypt.org/) as containers to transport private documents on USB or in emails, and able to use multiple encryption algorithms for the containers (e.g. AES-Twofish-Serpent). Something like this will presumably slow them [NSA] down umpteen amounts of times?
- mpyne 13y agoNot sure, I'm not a crypto wizard. My guess would be that "it depends". What you describe was more-or-less the basis for 3DES IIRC, but (knowing crypto) you could probably just as easily accidentally break the cryptosystem to the effectiveness of just the best scheme.
- josephg 13y agoSnowden: > Encryption works. Properly implemented strong crypto systems are one of the few things that you can rely on. Unfortunately, endpoint security is so terrifically weak that NSA can frequently find ways around it. You probably don't need to use 3 cyphers. Just make sure you're storing your private key somewhere safe.
