@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org there was an old tool for encrypted volumes that you could use random files as the unlock keys. And you could havemultiple hidden volumes that would unlock depending on the files supplied

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com Yeah.. mine is all server side.. so it doesn’t make much sense to be encrypt/decrypting anything. :D

Let’s see how resilient this is, or if it breaks.

Sometimes I am a perfectionist. Having previously made my private diary blog available via a Tailscale sidecar container in my Tailnet, I have now integrated Tailscale directly into GoBlog. Both Tailscale and Tailscale’s Let’s Encrypt certificates can be configured directly in GoBlog. No sidecar container is needed anymore. A much simpler solution! (And Tailscale rocks!) ⌘ Read more

Matrix vs. XMPP

Image

XMPP and Matrix are two decentralized and federated free sofware projects for chat, including true end-to-end encrypted chat.

Users can either install the software on their own server if they want, but they can also easily register on any public server—both allow any XMPP or Matrix user to talk to users on their server or on any other one. In essence, it works like email: you might have an em … ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net Ok.. so using NaCL boxes. yeah its just a combo of using secretbox with a generated key/nonce. and then using the pubkey box to encrypt the key/nonce for each device.

@prologic@twtxt.net sender generates an AES key encrypts message. gets the device list for user and encrypts key for each device. sends the encryptedkeys+cypertext.

@prologic@twtxt.net for encryption. we can have browser/app generate ec25519 keypair. store the private on device and add pub to list of devices for the user on pod.

Using Gnupg and openssl for encryption
I have used Gnupg to encrypt my private files, specially those that I upload to the clouds, for a long time. I used to encrypt to self, using my own key, then later moved to symmetric encryption only. The command is easy:

To encrypt:

gpg --cipher-algo aes256 --symmetric file.txt

Adding the option --armor to the above will produce an ASCII armoured encrypted file.

To decrypt:

…or encrypted in iCloud 🤔

Others are more subtle about it, exploiting pragmatic ambiguity or encrypting themselves, hiding in externalities so that down the road, someone may come up with the same flawed spell again

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I also always try to have a few ssh servers with several ports available for me to use. My favorite port is 443. Once had a firewall that wouldn’t allow SSH on 22 but 443 was acceptable because it expected encryption on it.

Old school liches store their souls in crypts, modern ones encrypt their minds and make backups. The rules stay the same: don’t touch that.

What looked like dreadlocks were in fact finely machined braids, overall encoding roughly one megabyte of encrypted data.

@kas@enotty.dk That’s what i’m using. But shouldn’t i be able to generate keys to communicate with other users? How could i encrypt a message for you?

Wow, a third of all ssl certificates on twtxt are from Let’s Encrypt. Incredible.

If you use GPG to occasionally encrypt and/or sign your email, or to encrypt your files before placing them on the cloud, you will understand how important it is to have a backup of your GPG keys. Similarly important will be to know how to restore them as well.
