India: All computers now under govt. watch
thehindu.comIs this shit ever going to end? Airport agents demanding you to unlock your phone and detaining you if you refuse, governments passing laws to decrypt everything and spy on everyone. Why the heck is this considered Ok and doesn't cause outrages?
Why is this redirecting to some fake Wal-Mart gift card scam? (This seems to only happen on iOS)
This reminds me of Truecrypt Plausible Deniability feature, where you hide an encrypted volume and can claim it's unused space.
Truecrypt is discontinued now, I don't know what's a good alternative today.
Veracrypt is a maintained fork.
This will work until it gets widely known, at which point all truecrypt/veracrypt volumes will be assumed to contain some sort of hidden layer.
Why? What are governments doing?
Suppose someone uses an app that has built-in end-to-end encryption. In the eyes of the law, what does that now make them?
Sounds like you are compelled to assist authorities in decrypting your messages if they ask you. “Failing to do (so) will invite seven-year imprisonment and fine.”
What if you have forgotten the password?
(It happens. I took a break from work for 3 weeks due to chicken pox. Totally forgot all my passwords.)
You will be mistreated and thrown in jail, because they'll assume you're a criminal (and in a very literal sense you are).
