Those Yankee sanctions really keep backfiring, don’t they?
love to see it
Wouldn’t it be great if this would benefit us, real people?
amazon: best I can do is 1TB SSD for $179.
“Real” people? Are there fake people?
Corporations
I suppose on twitter & reddit.
From the thumbnail, I expected: Scientists develop world’s thinnest waffle.
That would be impressive but I bet it would be the most disappointing bite.
The Dutch have entered the chat.
Anyone else convinced AES-256 is not long enough a but length for full disk encryption anymore? Even the 512-bit schemes are just trying some offset-salts that, with ~10TB I worry about providing close-enough statistical significance for cryptanalysis.
With 100TB drives?! I am less worried and more… convinced its a problem.
I have to admit, that I never looked into the technical details of full disk encryption
If I understand you correctly, they are using the same key for all the data and with larger amounts of data statistical analysis becomes feasible
Did I get this right?Couldn’t that be solved by using a root key + salt per block/sector/file/whatever?
I’d still only need the one root key and with every block the actual encryption key changes
I was thinking about perfect forward secrecy and that was the first thing, I could come up with
But, I’m absolutely not a crypto/math guy, so probably I don’t know enough to really add something to the discussion/solution…
I assume this is not something I need to worry about with 1TB drives at all? That’s a pretty cool fact about cryptography/data storage I did not know, thanks for sharing
Even if quantum cryptography were real, its been proven not to affect symmetric encryption like AES.
Don’t use AES-GCM for your block cypher.
Got it. I think
If I had been the project leader on this it would have had an even greater capacity because I would have taped a couple of keyring flash drives around the edge.
I remeber times where a 51/4 cardboard floppy was enough for all my documents and apps.
back before the days of hard drives being a standard thing :)
51/4 cardboard floppy
Wait, I’m also old enough to remember 5.25" floppies, but I always thought the casings were some sort of flexible plastic. Were some of them just card stock, or were they all some sort of treated paper product?
I know these as cardboard case, but certainly with some treatment to make it more resistant.
Yeah, but it’s only about 12tb after you format it. Probably.
