Nope, sorry, you don't get to make a wild claim and then refuse to back it up. "Low rank me for saying the truth" Sorry, but the truth has to provable, and someone screaming about hacking "nuclear centers, FBI data, Microsoft NASA" just doesn't cut it.

We live in a world where, in theory, its possible that even quantum cryptography can be bypassed, long before it goes mainstream; nothing is truly safe, but thank goodness that in actuality, with good password strength and strong encryption, your data is safe practically safe, or not, then again, even if we have skeltons in our closet, most of us still take our chances.

Beside if you really have something that secretive, you would know better than to use what seems like a single layer of ... err, AES encryption, with rather limited plausible deniablity and probably backdoors by the vendor.]]>Sep 17th 2008 5:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/ruby-cipher-hdd-kit-provides-aes-256-bit-hardware-encryption/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/ruby-cipher-hdd-kit-provides-aes-256-bit-hardware-encryption/

Buy one. Put data on it. Take it off. Leave it anywhere. When you need it. Replug it.
You can encrypt any hdd. Buy one. Let your 15 friends use it!
Yay
Or store it somewhere in a safe and if someone breaks in then he has corrupted data. Which will be hacked and so on and he will get it.
Dee your wrong.

Break it and get hold of the hdd. Or get a screwdriver.

Why so complicated? All there is to it is to find the drive, and the unique key, then you can access that guy's compromising data;anyway, there is no need to open the enclosure, at all; beside you need to find a place to plug in the key.]]>Sep 16th 2008 6:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/ruby-cipher-hdd-kit-provides-aes-256-bit-hardware-encryption/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/ruby-cipher-hdd-kit-provides-aes-256-bit-hardware-encryption/Sep 16th 2008 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/ruby-cipher-hdd-kit-provides-aes-256-bit-hardware-encryption/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/ruby-cipher-hdd-kit-provides-aes-256-bit-hardware-encryption/
I think you still not get the point. Low rank for all your post ;-)

Truecrypt is good, and free. The only problem is you won't be able to carry around and plug and play anywhere (able to do that but not that easy and straight forward). With this ruby, you could bring the HDD and use it just like a normal portable harddisk. Encryption and decryption will be on the go and performed at hardware base. The only problem that I could see is that you might need the USB decipher key with you. So if you lost it, you might have problem.

Remember the weakest link in encryption is human factor. Imagine is someone torture you to get the key. ]]>Sep 16th 2008 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/ruby-cipher-hdd-kit-provides-aes-256-bit-hardware-encryption/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/ruby-cipher-hdd-kit-provides-aes-256-bit-hardware-encryption/

Do they offer a deal on two of these? Do they have a version that offers RAID 1 over two drives?

Say you take the drive out, and make an image of the scrambled drive to another identical drive. When the first one fails, would the second one work? I assume it would...

Now, I can understand a little true ignorance, but you being so high and mighty and not backing up your mouth with your @$$ is pretty stupid. If you are wrong, admit it, don't just attack the person who proved you wrong. Everybody hates someone like that.

@ Article

Heh, that's pretty secure, but I see no real use for a HDD with that much security in anything less than an undisclosed military base. Would be overkill for pr0n. And overkill for Piracy too.]]>Sep 17th 2008 9:28AM
