What's an NSA-proof way to ensure that my files will never get lost? They aren't large files, but they're very important and sensitive. I need to:
1. Assure they never get lost.
2. Assure no-one else gets access to them.

encrypting the contents to a USB drive and then putting it under your skin.
>>
>>45547552
Never get lost? Let google index them
>>
Usb driver on your keychain/anus
If files are largen then HDD on electrostatic case on a faraday cage on your closet.
>>
>>45547552

Never create them to begin with. Next question please.

Put them on a few redundant USB disks and throw them in a safety deposit box at a bank.

>>45547552
do you have data?
if yes:
has your data at any given time been on a device that has been connected to the internet?
if yes:
the NSA has a copy.

I forgot to mention this, but it needs to be resilient to a fire breaking out and stuff. I'm basically looking for as much assurance as a 'cloud' service would provide.

>>45547639
They're continuously being edited, so that won't work.
>>
>>45547552
Develop a cipher algorithm for your programs that only you know
Write a program to encrypt all of your data with the cipher
Store it on a floppy disk

>They're continuously being edited, so that won't work.
You need to stop editing for as long as you're copying them retard. There is no way around this.
>>
just use freenet and protect the archive with a password?

1. Make regular backups on encrypted usb disks.
2. You cant, you can hafe the biggest encryption possible on youre devices, but if someone wants to acces them, they just let ur data sit on their server until there is software that can rip that encryption open. then youre fucked. may take them 15 a 20 years or so but you never know

What the Danning Dan did you just fucking say about me, you little Dan? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Danny Dans, and I've been involved in numerous secret Dans on Dan, and I have over 300 confirmed Dans. I am trained in Dan warfare and I'm the top Dan in the entire US Dan forces. You are nothing to me but just another Dan. I will Dan you the fuck out with Dan the likes of which has never been Danned before on this Dan, mark my fucking Dans. You think you can get away with saying that Dan to me over the Dan? Think again, Dan. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of Dans across the Dan and your IP is being Danned right now so you better prepare for the Dan, Dan. The Dan that wipes out the pathetic little Dan you call your Dan. You're fucking Dan, Dan. I can be Dan, Dan, and I can Dan you in over seven hundred Dans, and that's just with my bare Dans. Not only am I extensively Danned in unarmed Dan, but I have access to the entire Dan of the Danned Dans Dan Dans and I will use it to its full Dan to wipe your miserable Dan off the face of the Dan, you little Dan. If only Dan could have known what unholy retribution your little "Dan" comment was about to bring Dan upon you, maybe you would have Danned your fucking Dan. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're Danning the price, you goddamn Dan. I will Dan fury all over you and you will Dan in it. You're fucking dead, Dan.

Tape backup in your closet with your rifle.

No other way to protect your freedom.

do you need access from the internet?
owncloud
else
RAID 10 and maybe https://truecrypt.ch/

This is a bad idea. To think that an individual can come up with a secure cipher all by themselves is naive.

A solution to the problem of fire is off-site backups.

I recommend using dmcrypt LUKS to encrypt your storage. Here's what I used to learn:

Like... the NSA?
just ask them if you lose a file.
They have it. VERSIONED.

Right, but how much will it ever be worth to bother cracking it?

The point is that the cipher would be difficult to crack as you're the only one with the key. They probably wouldn't even notice it was encrypted data.

Download Tails, burn to and run from DVD, download old Truecrypt source and compile, encrypt with insanely long password, upload all across the net.
You're welcome.

if you want to hide it from NSA etc, then yeah, encryption.

hell, you could just encrypt them and stick them on dropbox. never get lost that way, and no one could access them.

how the fuck do you encrypt something
>>
>>45552110
RSA.
>>
Encrypt with AES-256/RSA-4096 using a good (read: peer reviewed) encryption library/tool. Then, encrypt your key.

If you're really paranoid, encrypt both twice. Those encryption mechanisms are approved for securing top secret/compartmented data, so it will be good enough for your loli porn.

If you're worried about them getting lost, store them in multiple places using different mechanisms. It really isn't that difficult.
