GPG, the GNU Privacy Guard, is a non-commercial version of cryptographic tool PGP (pretty), which is used to encrypt and authenticate emails, files, and other data to ensure the reliability and authenticity of communication data. This article will introduce the GPG technology and related tools, designed to help online surfers "sincere" communication. First, PGP overview before introducing GPG, let's take a look at the basic principles and application rules of PGP. Like many encryption methods, PGP uses double keys to ...

Earlier this month, a security company called Codenomicon found a serious loophole in the world's largest open-source cryptographic service, OpenSSL, which hackers exploited to steal the keys that Web sites use to encrypt online transactions and web connections, could have as many as hundreds of thousands of affected servers, caused serious panic in the circle. Fortunately, Codenomicon also released patches while releasing the vulnerability message. But better to prevent than to mend. Recently, including Google, Microsoft, Facebook ...

End-to-end encryption policies must take into account everything from input to output and storage. Encryption technology is divided into five categories: file-level or folder-level encryption, volume or partition encryption, media-level encryption, field-level encryption and communication content encryption. They can be defined further by the encryption key storage mechanism. Let's take a look at the grim forecast: According to the US Privacy information exchange, One-third of the U.S. people will encounter the loss or leakage of personally identifiable information from companies that store data electronically this year. Whether that number is not exactly right, anyway the public knows the data leaks ...

With the development of network and computer technology, the security of data storage and data exchange has become more and more important, and encryption technology has been used in data saving and data exchange very early. In order to ensure the correctness of the identities of both sides of the network data exchange, the visa system has matured. GnuPG is a set of tools for encrypting data and making certificates, and it works like PGP. But PGP uses a number of proprietary algorithms, which are among the notorious U.S. export restrictions. GnuPG is the GPL software, and does not use any patented encryption algorithm, so that ...

The NSA's "massive surveillance" data center in the Utah State Desert can screen and analyze most of the world's network traffic, from geographical locations, audio and video files, e-mail, instant messaging, social networks and other digital documents. Of course, it's not just the NSA that can track our digital footprint, but in this time of personal privacy, all kinds of government and business companies can master our words and every move. 　　As a common netizen, is there a reliable way to protect themselves? Earlier, the Washington Post had given five individuals to avoid NSA surveillance ...

Once upon a time, Open-source software was completely insignificant. Today, open source is a great way to go, many software is already very beautiful scenery. However, there are some software obscurity is the baby.

You may never have heard of the software, or you may have heard it, but you haven't been able to use it, because you're already using another "decent" piece of software. Linux expert Jack Wallen in this article ...

What is OpenWrt? It is a Linux distribution that applies to routers. Like other Linux distributions, it also has built-in package management tools that you can install directly from a single software repository.   OpenWrt can be used in all the places where embedded Linux is needed, it has many functions, such as SSH server, VPN, traffic shaping service, even BitTorrent client. OpenWrt is not for everyone. Most people are satisfied with their own router's own firmware, but many advanced users ...

We've all seen reports of hacking in the systems of some big companies, generally speaking, the hacker starts from obtains the root access right, once obtains the root access, may say your any file, as long as the intruder wants, they all can take away, this raises two questions: · Should the data path be more secure? · What should we do if the data path should be more secure? Should the data path be more secure? Seems to be a little crazy, people told me that there is no storage security requirements, the need for the network ...
