Better way of encrypting backups would be something like this: 1. Generate a random key for backup encryption. 2. Encrypt the generated key with a password provided by the user. 3. Save the encrypted key with backups.
Now if the user wants to change the password, only the key file needs to be re-encrypted. That is more or less how LUKS works. As an added bonus better key derivation functions for step two can be easily added over time with a scheme like this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/957857 Title: No way to change password for a backup set To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+bug/957857/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
