I understand what you are saying, and I respect your position on the matter. Reply, I'm not a paedophile but want to encrypt my data more then I really need to because I don't really understand security and the fact that encrypting data is no good unless I employ many other physical and procedural measures to protect it as I'm really a terrorist. Where do you stop? Proportion people, proportion. I'm not saying you data isn t important, I'm just saying put things in perspective, of all the people out there, why you, what do you have the others really want? Instead of going after the encrypted key, why not apply pressure and blackmail or bribery and just get it that way? Why not set a fire alarm of and go after the unencrypted data whilst your out in the car park? There are many more ways to go and get your secrets and if you think encryption (regardless of type, cipher, hash and tokens) is going to stop someone who want the data bad enough (forget a team with government resources), they are going to go after the weakest link and target that, your encryption is a fence, you also need a moat, cameras, a burglar alarm, door locks, pressure sensors, PIRs, locked draw, TEMPEST measures, faraday cages etc. (*porn stash" can be replaced with any data) You little brother, he has every intent in getting to your porn stash, but capability? Risk equals intent and capability, Lets say the the government (where ever you are) have a back door to the encryption you use, you have a *"porn stash", they have capability, but intent? Why break into your porn stash.?

Lets make it easier for them to choose a person to investigate (given the Billion plus on the net, not to mention the hard drives not connected all the time). Why would the government, or their agencies be after your data? ![]()
