How do you ensure privacy and security on cloud platforms in an age of compromised encryption, backdoors, and AI-driven hacking threats to encryption and user confidentiality?
Let’s say you’ve created a film and need to securely upload the master copy to the cloud. You want to encrypt it before uploading to prevent unauthorized access. What program would you use to achieve this?
Now, let’s consider the worst-case scenario: the encryption software itself could have a backdoor, or perhaps you’re worried about AI-driven hacking techniques targeting your encryption.
Additionally, imagine your film is being used to train AI databases or is exposed to potential brute-force attacks while stored in the cloud.
What steps would you take to ensure your content is protected against a wide range of threats and prevent it from being accessed, leaked, or released without your consent?
gocryptfs is what I’d use for this. It’s designed with cloud storage in mind
Using strong encryption should be enough for your use case, unless you’re a high profile target. Even then, it’s more likely whoever is after you will try to get access to your unencrypted files instead because cracking strong encryption isn’t worth it most of the time
Iirc your cloud service provider could still figure out your unencrypted directory layout and filenames. You should really do some research on this if you wanna make sure you know all the risks
I appreciate your suggestion very much. I wonder what the difference between gocryptfs and others like Trucrypt would be.
Need to search and compare the pros and cons of both, the advantages and disadvantages of each, particularly in terms of security, ease of use, and performance
