Quotes About Encryption

In a sense, communications networks can be defined entirely by who has cryptographic keys, and I think a lot of networks will work that way in the future.

Between them an image is projected: a single, winking cursor. It wants a code. It wants the code.

We called the CEO of Apple to see if there was anything they could do to help us. We expected him to say no like usual, but that didn't happen. It turns out that when they're losing a billion dollars a day and thinking they might starve to death, they suddenly remember the back door they built into their encryption.

Detective Lincoln knocked, said, "McGrath had serious encryption on his computer. We're going to have to send it out." "Send it to Quantico," I said. "I'll try to get it moved to the front of the line." "Right away," Lincoln said, and he left.

Deepnet. It's Internet stuff that doesn't register on surface search sites like Google. A bunch of underground sites use this thing called the Tor network, which is basically a bunch of connected random volunteer servers that pass data back and forth in an elaborate routing system with multiple levels of encryption to maintain secrecy.

s security expert Bruce Schneier has said, Making bits harder to copy is like making water that's less wet.

Any time you had a cipher, you were vulnerable to someone smarter than you coming up with a way of breaking it.

The Nazi cipher was called Enigma, and they used a little mechanical computer called an Enigma Machine to scramble and unscramble the messages they got.

No one at the Interior Ministry used PGP for email, because no normal human does

A break came when Polish intelligence officers created a machine based on a captured German coder that was able to crack some of the Enigma codes. By the time the Poles showed the British their machine, however, it had been rendered ineffective because the Germans had added two more rotors and two more plugboard connections to their Enigma machines.

It's simply unrealistic to depend on secrecy for security in computer software. You may be able to keep the exact workings of the program out of general circulation, but can you prevent the code from being reverse-engineered by serious opponents? Probably not. The secret to strong security: less reliance on secrets.

If someone stole your keys to encrypt the data, it didn't matter how secure the algorithms were.

If you are going to store your e-wallet on your own server, don't keep your e-wallet on your desktop, and make sure you use encryption. If you lose your computer, your bitcoins are lost forever.

Usa BitLocker con Windows o FileVault con OS X.

Los datos quedarán encriptados cuando la máquina esté apagada o en modo suspendido.

Yo uso VeraCrypt (ver

An unbreakable code is a mathematical impossibility! He knows that!

Biggleman's Safe was a hypothetical cryptography scenario in which a safe builder wrote blueprints for an unbreakable safe. He wanted to keep the blueprints a secret, so he built the safe and locked the blueprints inside.

She knew the computer's processors auditioned thirty million keys per second – one hundred billion per hour. If TRANSLTR was still counting, that meant the key had to be enormous – over ten billion digits long.

Every fatline receiver in the Web, Outback, galaxy, and universe would monitor the squirt, but only the Consul's ship could decode it. Or so she hoped. The

Encryption isn't optional, when we address one another," she said.

They built the first computers to crack German ice, right? Codebreakers. So there was ice before computers, you wanna look at it that way.

We could spend the rest of our lives trying to randomly guess his keyword. And worse, I'm fairly certain he's using multiple keywords, maybe even more than one on every page. I wouldn't say it's crack-proof, but I believe it may be beyond my own personal abilities.

I favor strategies that encourage industry to include some sort of key recovery capability in their systems which would also address user requirements for access.
