I remeber times where a 51/4 cardboard floppy was enough for all my documents and apps.
back before the days of hard drives being a standard thing :)
Youngster. Bet you’ve never even seen an 8" floppy IRL. And don’t get me started on tape or punch cards…
Yeah, but it’s only about 12tb after you format it. Probably.
With all the data retention and logging requirements being imposed by various governments, your “joke” might not be so far off.
If I had been the project leader on this it would have had an even greater capacity because I would have taped a couple of keyring flash drives around the edge.
They’re needed just to hold the massive encryption key, I’m assuming.
Those Yankee sanctions really keep backfiring, don’t they?
love to see it
Wouldn’t it be great if this would benefit us, real people?
amazon: best I can do is 1TB SSD for $179.
“Real” people? Are there fake people?
Corporations
Seriously? Have you never run into a right-winger?
I guess the sentiment is everyday individuals and not the corporates and the wealthy. Financial benefits of advancements rarely seem to benefit common folks
I suppose on twitter & reddit.
From the thumbnail, I expected: Scientists develop world’s thinnest waffle.
That would be impressive but I bet it would be the most disappointing bite.
bitebyteFTFY.
The Dutch have entered the chat.
Anyone else convinced AES-256 is not long enough a but length for full disk encryption anymore? Even the 512-bit schemes are just trying some offset-salts that, with ~10TB I worry about providing close-enough statistical significance for cryptanalysis.
With 100TB drives?! I am less worried and more… convinced its a problem.
At the current rate of development, every city will have its own
space heaterdata center, so with all that computational power available to just any maligned local city government dignitary, you’re right to be concerned.I have to admit, that I never looked into the technical details of full disk encryption
If I understand you correctly, they are using the same key for all the data and with larger amounts of data statistical analysis becomes feasible
Did I get this right?Couldn’t that be solved by using a root key + salt per block/sector/file/whatever?
I’d still only need the one root key and with every block the actual encryption key changes
I was thinking about perfect forward secrecy and that was the first thing, I could come up with
But, I’m absolutely not a crypto/math guy, so probably I don’t know enough to really add something to the discussion/solution…
