Is school really necessary?

@Kelvin: A bit exaggerated. You can store and transmit your data securely, but there’s no automatic or fool-proof way to do it. PGP 2.6.2, TrueCrypt, any AES or Twofish algorithm that pre-compresses the data before encryption (compression is a crucial step to ensure security).

I see but is there anything like a secure isntant message?

I was thinking of cbox (only person with the link can view the room) but that isnt secure enough ( no encryption).

Pidgin.

[…] All those tutorials and yet no one has managed to cobble together a solution? I don’t know how, exactly, they do it but I see this as evidence of tampering in the market. Either they suppress startups that challenge their envisioned model, or they subsidize startups that are in line with their vision, or some combination of both. In any case, I don’t think it’s an accident.

Certainly there is tampering in market if you consider how many PhDs in security-related fields are at the NSA.

Has not anyone developed client-sde software that automagically sends encrypted data to DropBox?

@The Muff: Not to my knowledge.
