Indeed this is a big issue, there are a couple of options as I see it; - Encrypt data before you send it up to S3 which is achievable but adds a bit more complexity than the sync-and-forget alternative. - Use a private hosted server or virtual server of which you have more control and can also more easily implement different encryption techniques. I use a mix of both, S3 for non-sensitive data and a private server for more sensitive data. I've also been investigating (client controlled) encryption on top of S3 but am yet to find a solution I'm completely happy with. hads -- http://nicegear.co.nz _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
