I think you need to educate yourself a bit on the topic of encryption. Encryption is secure if you use it correctly. Too secure actually, it's much more straightforward to simply torture the information out of someone... And unless there is a backdoor in AES-256 (which why ideally you would always use a combination of several ciphers), it is technically and theoretically unbreakable if you used a 256-bit random key. It's much more likely that someone will social engineer his way to the data. Matters are entirely different with current public key algorithms, which may very well be broken via quantum computers, so I wouldn't bet my money on that horse... On the other hand those are not the algorithms you use for backup anyway. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
