This is definitely an issue with encryption. Cracking various encryption
methods is really only a question of time, computing power, and some luck.
Heck, I thought DES was cracked in 1998!
I'm not sure the exact date it was cracked,
That's what I'd like to know. How tough is SimpleCrypt's encryption
scheme compared to the amount of resources it would take to crack it?

What's the scoop here? I've been running on the assumption
Hi all,
On a mailing list I inhabit, the quality of Retrospect's encryption
was challenged as being inadequate. The comment was that neither DES
or Dantz' proprietary Vernam cipher would be secure from a serious
attempt to retrieve stolen backup data.
What's the scoop here? I've been
What's the scoop here? I've been running on the assumption that if I
lost a tape under mysterious circumstances that the information would
be unrecoverable.
Nothing is unrecoverable if you have enough time. So the real question
is how long would the various choices take to crack.
