Hiding Files with Truecrypt   no comments

Posted at 10:37 pm in Security

Eversince I started computing (back when I was using C64), I was always into cryptography, due largely to my dad’s Cold War spy novels scattered throughout our house. I always wanted to play with codes and ciphers. This journey took me to play with other crypto-software like PCTools7’s PCSecure, my own scripts and codes using substitution cipher and PGP.

After PGP things got really serious for me crypto-wise. The words from Phil Zimmerman’s PGP help file and Bruce Schneier’s Applied Cryptography book constantly echoed in my mind was this:

“There are two kinds of cryptography in this world: cryptography that will stop your kid sister from reading your files, and cryptography that will stop major governments from reading your files.

This book is about the latter.”
– Bruce Schneier
