Crytopgraphy

>What happens if the governments deprives us of it

There is no way of really doing that. It's literally the same as trying to deprive people from mathematics.

Well, what if laws are passed that say if you use encryption for any unauthorized reasons (like encrypting your hard drive as opposed to using https when logging into your bank acount) you could be subject imprisonment?

what do you think crypto is?
not like crypto is a giant computer in the midwest that operates via fairy dust, it's just maths and done right even simple cryptography can be (effectivly) unbreakable

take this for example


text = "are you safe?"

key = "358978935191389134"

crypt = "dwm)!w~#xbofB"

this is a simple encryption method called a "one time pad" if I never told you the original text or key (and used more characters for the key) it would be literally impossible to break and the key could be exchanged via arbitrarily large RSA

then they'd have to prove the resulting crypto isn't just random gibberish on your hard drive

I've been fucking around with cryptography for years making my own private messaging and file sharing programs for private groups, I can tell you anything you wanna know

what's your password

Best book on the subject? I kinda want to get into it. Now that unemployed yet again, I have plenty of time to devote to some intellectual pursuits.

Many countries have this law. Which is why truecrypt have an easy way to make a hidden encrypted partition. No way of proving that the partition is encrypted. They might find a usb with truecrypt or similar on it, but that's it.

*append numbers to the end as needed (123 etc) and replace letters with numbers as they apply

use this list of passwords and you can get into about 50-60% of all accounts online or home PC, I do it all the time

I remember like 10 years ago there was a password leak on some computer security forum and the most common password was "qwerty123" followed by "trustno1" as far as I remember.

At the time I found it funny that they would use passwords like that, but it was likely on purpose. They likely assumed that someone would hack the forum at some point.

I store all the passwords on my websites in a salted hashed database, even if you got in it wouldn't do you any good

I also avoid default accounts like root and dont' use passwords to ssh in, secure keys are where it's at man
