Topic: Are still Encrypted file safe? (Read 445 times)
Well, as far as I know,veracrypt has a little deeper layer of security, so I guess I will work onto making strong passwords.. If strong passwords aren't secure anymore..what else is secure nowadays?
which encryption software would you guys suggest for smartphones and desktop?
im using truecrypt so far without problems but seeing it got cracked makes me kinda uneasy
edit
its not known how the fbi did it.
there are several possibilities how it happened.

as far as i know there is NO record of truecrypt being broken so far (not with a good password anyhow) but there are a few alternatives like veracrypt (also never heard of it being broken) other ines do have a habbit of having back door (some say bitlocker has a back door) and others well there just piles of crap. the main thing is to research it. but im still happy to use truecrypt.
all in all there safe (well as safe as anything can be)

After seeing on a blog that police broke in a CrypticDisk, Datalocker and Acer one, are the other encryption software like the descendants of TrueCrypt safe from these kind of attacks?
After the finalisation of TrueCrypt I'm doubtful to use such software because of the ease those department can do such "miracles" to find your password and see what's inside.
Sure, I'm not hiding (or hided) nothing to worry about, and nor using it after the closure of TC, but it's still put me a question, should people do like for "brainwallets" like passwords with more than 30 chars (even if for brainwallet is still useless) or people should invent a new encryption method like an AES descendant?
Yeah I'm always a bit paranoic even if it doesn't touches me,but because I like to feel myself protected, like, remember those nasty malwares that encrypts your stuff with a password unless you pay them? something like that, but like, better to know all the files I will store one day for my legacy will be protected. or like, my secret diary(which everyone loves to spy to know your weakness and stuff)
Or maybe i'm just being super paranoid. What's your guess?
