[freenet-support] elettra, a supplementary way to encrypt files on your harddisk

2009-10-08 Thread bqz69
I happened to find this, on another mailing list.

Elettra might be supplementary to freenet users, a supplementary way to 
encrypt important data on your harddisk?

This might saw some ideas to the Freenet people.

WHAT'S ELETTRA ?

Elettra is a software providing plausible deniable cryptography. It supports
a dynamic number of files and requires a password for each file.

When you need to decrypt a file, the password is able to find in the 
encrypted archive the file related to it.

the security measure is in the protection of the number of files encrypted 
in the archive, because the algorithm is thought to give a plausible ammission
that the data unencrypted is simple random data, and only one file is 
encrypted in it.

Here are some important links:

Just for your info.

Pointless imho. Freenet *already* encrypt pretty much everything even
remotely critical by default (and even more in higher physical security
levels) and it already uses plausible deniability.

It could be quite useful to encrypt downloads though, and/or Freenet
itself...

You could use it for your Freesite files and/or private keys, but yeah
no better than TrueCrypt I would think.

It never hurts to share ideas, though.  :)
