Err... that's what I meant... I think... if I know what you meant ;)

I definitely meant:

I encrypt locally, then store in the cloud and not:

I rely on the cloud storage to provide a service to encrypt Yuppers! They're not allowed access to my data if I can help it. And if they have the service that's handling the encryption, then my primary purpose for encryption is futile because they have the decryption key.

And if I encrypt it locally and they break the encryption without my permission, aren't they in breach of the DMCA?

Encryption?

Authored by: Jeays on Thursday, February 14 2013 @ 08:10 PM EST

Almost no one has the skills to do their own encryption. Use
one of the open-source algorithms with a good password.
Openssl is a command-line tool that makes it easy to use any
one of several standard
algorithms.
