Encrypt all the things!

I've used passpack before for work. Dunno if it does what you want though.

I find it easier to remember a collection of different passwords for different things, personally. Guess it depends how good your memory is and how often you use them.

I use LastPass, works everywhere and includes token generation on Android, and integration into my fingerprint reader on my laptop.

I use my birthday

Cats maiden name.

there's a big article in wired this month or last about the hude data starage facility the yanks are building that will store most of the internet and phone data passing through all the major points in the country. It's on a scale my tiny brain can't compute. Oh, and they're also building a super computer to crack the encription algorithms. They've been storing the info for a while so when they crack it they can go back through all the stored info. (removes tin foil hat)

Worth a read, a good article on where things are headed. I'll post a link if i can find one.

Wasn't that a Dan Brown novel?

Any number of novels.

I use a 3,072 bit key to encrypt everything, suck on that Echelon.

I operate exclusively with invisible ink, carrier pigeons and concealed briefcase pockets.
This whole online thing is a decoy.

I only record things in my own private language

Grams and kilograms mostly?

I will never surrender to your Metrical system, my language uses rods and pinches exclusively for measurement

Once the Germans get their own Russell Hobbs though, he'll be in trouble..

I have the new five reel version.

^ read that. It's fucking scary.

We have maths on our side though. It will always be cheaper to encrypt than decrypt. That said though, have their system reached a point where they can decrypt even the most encrypted things on the fly?

No, not with current technology

Watch out- WingedAngel may be able to read your mind using Hemp seeds and crystals.

That's fine, as long as my right knee gets healed as well

No.

And the response from people in charge of security at companies is to increase the key size. LFGSS hardly needs security, yet we are using a 4MB public key on our SSL.

One of the things I like about encryption is how it becomes non-trivial. At what point does trying to decrypt become so significantly more expensive than just following due process and getting a judge to grant you access?

Nah, the complexity isn't linear.

Just downloaded TOR with the TOR browser. Simple and user friendly encryption. Am I missing anything here? If I use that browser everything i do is encrypted? I assume gmail isn't.

Is it worth using TORbot for anroid for my phone?

Yes everything is encrypted. It defaults to the https protocol as it comes bundles with 'Always HTTPS'. Not sure how the browser handles sites that do not support SSL though.
You do not need to use the Tor browser just to encrypt all traffic. You can install the add-on in Firefox and probably Chrome.
When using Tor, you will be going through the Tor network and your connection will be notably slower so you may want to think about using these add-ons instead. Depends what you are up to :)

TORbot is not worth using unless you have rooted your android as it most likely will not work correctly
