Is this method of encrypting my Chinese cartoons secure?
>AES
enjoy the NSA faggot
but yeah your anime is safe from your mom.
>>55030225
Basically use blowfish or twofish or serpent, since they where the runners up for AES.
>>55030225
Thanks, that's what I was concerned about.
>>55030192
There's no public attacks on AES, so if you trust that the NSA doesn't have some secret magic up their sleeves, your Chinese cartoons are safe that way.
Why not use Truecrypt or something?
>>55030192
your key leaks on the command line
>>55030192
Dude just set up a LUKS-encrypted FS
more convenient and more secure than your homegrown bullshit
>>55030583
>>55030693
I'm keeping things simple for my parents, so they can set things up for me to retrieve the files remotely later.
>>55030737
You can make a Truecrypt container in a file.
What kind of crazy situation requires them to send your animu to you? Why can't you bring it with you?
>>55030806
Crossing international borders.
Thanks, I didn't know Truecrypt could do that.
>>55030806
You can also make a LUKS FS in a file
>>55030852
I see. Having cheese piz-- I mean animu on you when crossing international borders would be bad.
You can also use something like encfs and upload your stuff to some cloud provider.

You've got the wrong end of the stick, there's nothing like that in there.
It's my inability to prove ownership of the original material if questioned that concerns me. I can't possibly fit all the original media in my luggage allowance.
>>55030995
God, you are fucking retarded.
>>55031110
Please tell me why.

First, no one cares about your dumb Cantonese moving pictures, especially if they are subbed. Second, there are various ways to ``smuggle'' data past border control, many of which are piss easy. Stop being a dumb underageb& teenbro for a moment and use your fucking head.
>>55031190
I'm deeply hurt. *I* care about my cartoons, for one.
Put them in a checked bag in a few micro SD cards in a few of these.
If they're copies anyway, what's the worst that could happen? They'll confiscate them. So what?
>>55031282
Still, I don't want to risk anything. I'd rather be safe than sorry, and retrieve the data after I land rather than carry it with me.
>>55031282
>what's the worst that could happen?
You get detained for hours for smuggling potentially dangerous numbers.
Just keep them online you e-nigger
Just rent a server and drop the files there, pick them up where ever you want, easy as fuck
>>55030250
>using only one encryption algorithm.
I've never noticed any real slowdown from using serpent-twofish-aes in truecrypt.
>>55030192
Let's suppose they examine your drive (which they won't do unless you're somehow highly suspicious for some other reason).
Cartoons on a nerd's laptop are not suspicious.
Large files,
with high entropy contents and which thus are obviously encrypted volumes,
protected with a military grade algorithm,
lying around on a Windows machine that otherwise has no reason to have encryption software,
carried on a shift nerd's laptop-
now THAT is extremely fucking suspicious.
So either
a) You are lying and it's actually child pornography ( <= Most likely )
or
b) You have some strange persecution complex thing going on.

That's a load of shit. When (re)entering the US, your electronics will be searched. Sure, they won't thoroughly look through the whole FS, but they will take a peek around to see if you've left anything laying around.
You can find plenty of news articles of people being jailed because they were entering the US and the TSA looked through their laptops and found illegal files.

>When (re)entering the US, your electronics will be searched.
Searched physically, they will not power anything on or hook them up to check the drives.
If you're really worried, ship the cable or battery separately.

According to the Wikipedia page serpent appears to be the real winner of the AES challenge, Rijindael was only selected as the winner because it was faster than serpent.
The Wikipedia page also interestingly hints that AES maybe be able to be cracked in the near future where serpent page basically says there are no known ways to crack it.
