RE: Mac security, encrypting, backing up, oh my!

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi ET,

 Interesting thought on the BRL file for storing passwords,

 I can honestly say that if you did that and I got hold of the file or a 
printed list of passwords written in braille I'd still be reading it in 6 
months.

 It's not that I can't read braille but I just don’t' do it enough to remember 
it as well as I should.

I just encrypt my files for those I need to.

Traci and others,
Finally took a look at these articles. I did not see any responses but here 
is what I see in this.

What are the risks with encryption? Forget a password and you are dead in 
the water? I suppose those of us who can create braille hard copy should be 
safe. Or even a brf file kept on a braille display.

With so many passwords, sometimes I am overwhelmed even with an app like 
1Password.

   What are the risks with encryption? Forget a password and you are 
dead in the water? I suppose those of us who can create braille hard 
copy should be safe. Or even a brf file kept on a braille display.

Re: Mac security, encrypting, backing up, oh my!

[Scott Granados]

Absolutely good stuff, I use encryption heavily and like seeing others do the 
same.  I use GPG with Apple mail to send and receive encrypted mail as well as 
digitally sign messages, VPN technology to encrypt everything going over the 
network, File Vault for the disks and yes encrypt Time machine which I use a 
network attached storage device as a target.

Good for you for taking an interest in security.  That’s an important topic.
