#Veracrypt

Dimanche sécurité 😏
Je n'avais aucunes excuses, surtout en étant dans l'informatique ❗
Les ordinateurs de madame, et les miens, n'étaient pas chiffrés ❗
Toutes les machines (desktop/laptop) Windows et Linux sont maintenant chiffrés 👌
J'ai opté pour plus de flexibilité au détriment d'un peu de performance, c'est donc #Veracrypt pour Windows, et #ecryptfs pour Linux 😎

Die #ePA kann sich jeder sicher selber bauen: Auf einen guten USB Stick, in verschlüsselten Containern seine Gesundheitsdaten speichern. #Veracrypt als portable Version mit rauf tun. Inkl. echtem #Datenschutz und ohne unsichere #Clouds! Das andere ist ja eher ein elektronisches Patientenleck...

setelah update ke Sequia 15.4.1, #Veracrypt app tidak bisa dibuka. Ada error Namespace DYLD, Code 1 Library missing.

menurut forum karena Fuse-nya error.

Upgraded my main workstation from #Fedora40 to #Fedora42. Smooth experience overall, with just a couple of quirks:
1. Globally installed #Python packages haven't survived the upgrade and had to be re-installed
2. The latest version of #Fedora that #veracrypt publishes a package for is 40. This was the main reason I didn't upgrade to #fedora41. But version 40 got too close to EOL, so I had to learn how to build VeraCrypt from source code.

My tiny #backup strategy (soon in more details on my digital garden: marcoxbresciani.codeberg.page/).

1. Main Documents folder on PC SSD, with almost 280GB (around 100k files) to somehow keep.
Of these, few less than 110GB are those mandatory to be kept (photos, emails, docs, books, ...).

2. First full backup level on an external USB disk encrypted with #VeraCrypt.
Files are synced from (1) with #RoboCopy each 42 😇 modifications.
Disk always connected to PC, not automatically mounted.

Legt ihr wichtige Daten lokal in verschlüsselten Container ab? Zum Beispiel die Zertifikatsdatei, Steuerunterlagen, was auch immer.
Und wenn ja, was nutzt ihr dann? ?

@jrdepriest @quinn I'd just not risk it and #VeraCrypt like all file containers, doesn't change the mdate and thus bricks #OneDrive #sync.

Why you should use full-disk encryption

If any of the arguments I make below apply to you, you should use full-disk encryption. I am pretty sure the first argument applies to everyone. The second argument applies at least to everyone in the EU and the US state of California. The third argument applies to everyone again.

You will fail to delete drives properly

Storage media get lost. Most people do not know how to properly delete hard disk content before selling them, or they forget it. In the case of flash drives, or SSDs, standard tools like shred don't work. hdparm may do the trick, but this is not well known. If you are lucky, the manufacturer of you SSH provides a Windows app that lets you delete it securely. Your server does not run on Windows of course.

The law demands it

#GDPR and similar data protection and privacy laws require you to store no #PII (personal data) permanently. You have to anonymize PII or delete it after a few weeks. IP addresses are PII. All servers store IP addresses by default. The GDPR also demands that you use state-of-the-art technology to protect sensitive data. Full disk encryption is the state of the art.

Law enforcement makes "mistakes"

I'm a board member of @Artikel5eV, an organisation that runs relays on the Tor network, including exit relays. Running Tor relays is perfectly legal in Germany. Nevertheless, law enforcement agencies have raided the homes of Artikel 5 e.V. board members twice. Illegally so, as a court confirmed recently. I won't run Tor relays in my home, but there is a good chance that my home will be raided one day unless all police officers and prosecutors decide to obey the law.

There is also a possibility that the rule of law might collapse in your country sooner or later. We are just witnessing it in the USA.

You already mentioned that ordinary thieves can also be a problem.

Encryption is available for free

So what is your case against disk encryption? It is obvious that it alone does not solve all IT security issues, but it is an important building block. #LUKS is reliable free and open-source software for HD encryption. If you are not using Linux, check out #VeraCrypt. The Raspberry Pi 5 comes with hardware acceleration for AES, so there no longer is a noticeable performance penalty for encryption.

VeraCrypt is disk encryption software.

Create virtual encrypted disk within a file.
Encrypt entire partition of storage device.

Decrypted data stored in RAM.

Access encrypted data via Linux/macOS/Windows.

Supports cipher cascades: veracrypt.fr/en/Cascades.html
Supports on-the-fly encryption: wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_encryp
Supports plausible deniability: veracrypt.fr/en/Plausible%20De

Anyone know of a good tutorial to add #Veracrypt/#Luks to an existing install of #Debian/#Proxmox that does NOT require formatting a device and creating partitions on it?

I'm looking for something that can self encrypt existing drives (whole) like how Veracrypt works on Windows with full disk encryption.

And no - I'm not interested in encrypting specific VMs, i want the whole thing to be encrypted as the physical Hypervisor will reside in an untrusted location.

I gave a talk on #shufflecake at the #oscw (open source cryptography workshop) in #sofia #bulgaria. Many thanks to Cindy Lin, Ioana Nedelcu, Elizaveta Tretiakova (#google) and Anna Weine (#mozilla) for organizing. #privacy #truecrypt #veracrypt #horizenlabs #zkverify

@98Percent
For Linux, MacOS (and Windows) you could us #VeraCrypt
veracrypt.fr/en/Home.html

But as it requires software (AFAIR you don't need to install anything) so I don't think it works on iOS/iPadOS.

And I fear that there can't be a solution for iOS/iPadOS which isn't Apple sanctioned (and therefore probably doesn't work on Linux)

Edit: I stay corrected
veracrypt.fr/en/Android%20%26%
states that there are 3rd party apps for iOS/iPadOS, Disk Decipher and Crypto Disks

@elbekai Kann ich empfehlen, auch, wenn man nur einen Ordner auf dem Rechner verschlüsseln will. Ist da besser als Veracrypt, weil leichter zu bedienen. Man könnte auch #Veracrypt zum Verschlüsseln nehmen und den verschlüsselten Ordner dann in der Cloud ablegen, aber bei meinem Versuch, sie zu synchronisieren, bin ich mit Veracrypt bei Nextcloud gescheitert, weil nicht erkannt wurde, dass es Änderungen im verschlüsselten Ordner gab. Bei Cryptomator war das kein Problem.
