Last week, the New York Times reported that Snowden's cache of documents from his time working for an NSA contractor showed that the agency used its public participation in the process for setting voluntary cryptography standards, run by the government's National Institute of Standards (NIST) and Technology, to push for a formula it knew it could break. NOTE If you want to use TrueCrypt on OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) and OS X 10.11 El Capitan, there is a minr tweak in the install process that allows you to install it and it works A-OK on my machines.The abrupt warning is the latest fallout from the huge intelligence disclosures by the whistleblower Edward Snowden about the extent of surveillance and the debasement of encryption by the NSA. However I have seen info based on a security audit th v7.1A is A-OK. NOTE: there is internet trafficthat calls into question the security of TrueCrypt because further development was stopped and v7.2 is not recommended. EncryptStick (which I also use) I do not recall if that is possible. TrueCrypt lets you encrypt entire volumes. One that works on both Mac (OS X and Windows) is EncryptStick and cost is very reasonable. ![]() I haven’t yet tried it with LINUX (Ubuntu) OS. ![]() ![]() I can access the encrypted directories from bot Mac and PC (Win). TrueCrypt is “cross OS” Mac OS X, Windows, LINUX. I do not encrypt an entire Volume (Hard drive) I just set up an encrypteed directory (Folder). Are those folders protected or are they fully readable when the drive is attached to the computer.Īn alternative is to use encryption software like TrueCrypt v7.1A. I just dont understand this: how the filesystem works in dl2100 and what username and password does for the folders. I can only map my own folders.īut if i take the drive out from the box, am I able to browse Enis folder and see those files or does my laptop shows me nonsense when trying to browse the drive? I cant map the Enis folder to my laptop, because I dont know the password. NAS has a folder “ABC” and only user who can access to that folder is Eni. Internet - Modem(router) - NAS** (no encrypted)** Sorry being dumb, but there seems to something that need to be explained in plain english to me ![]() Though I do not know how easy, or hard this would be. When my laptop went broken i was able to get all my files from the harddrives just by using a dos based software… So what exactly the user account with a password does in the NAS? Are those files still readable or truely protected that you cannot copy them without knowing the username and a password?Ī) no one can get to your files from the Internet even if they know the username and password unless your box is not behind a router/firewall or you have set the box in the dmz of the router effectively placing it on the Internet.ī) I am pretty sure someone could read the files in another box if it was not encrypted. if you dont know the password for the folder, can you still somehow get the files from the drive if they arent encrypted? I actually dont know how the security works with dL2100. Or is it enought to use user accounts for the folders? Is it secure enough? im going to use the NAS for my work documents as well as for my personal things, so im abit worried about the security.However, im not willing to start over again, because I cant find any information about the encryption and how is it working really…Īm i able to encrypt all files if i set NAS again from the start? Is it asking me about the encryption? When my laptop is connected to the NAS, are those files then en/decrypted during “drag and dropping” if the NAS is mapped? There are only couple places where they have used a word encryption, but nothing else… It seems to be that the NAS is not encrypted by a default and you cannot do that unless you start from the beginning. There is no mention about encryption in the manual.
