nanotube: aye, gpg is just as vulnerable to hardware keyloggers as full disk encryption. if that's your threat model, there's no reason to recommend one over the other.
nanotube: in the meantime, when using gpg on a per-file basis, that usually means decrypting and writing a file to disk in unencrypted form for editing. editing. then encrypting and wiping unencrypted.
nanotube: and you run into the "impossible to really delete stuff off modern disks" problem.
nanotube: whereas with full-disk encryption, you don't have to worry about that bit.
nanotube: but you know, nothing wrong with using both full disk encryption, /and/ an additional gpg-per-file layer for selected files.

gecko_x2: nanotube yes very true, but the main point here really is that now ppl like us are thinking about these things actively, which was the main reason for snowden to ever do this
gecko_x2: he recently stated in his moscow interview
gecko_x2: a few days ago
gecko_x2: that he was very satisfied with the reaction from the community
gecko_x2: and i agree
gecko_x2: the mere fact that we are now thinking about this stuff is gonna make life hell for the NSA going forward
gecko_x2: snowden always said his biggest fear was that nothing would changew
gecko_x2: and he doesn't have to fear anymore
gecko_x2: so his run was successful
gecko_x2: give the community half a decade to implement stuff based on this intel, and the NSA will have built their ohio fascist data centre in vain
gecko_x2: no matter how much water they use to cool down their boxes
gecko_x2: they will still not break strong crypto
gecko_x2: and endpoint security will evolve
gecko_x2: sry.. utah.. not ohio :p

mircea_popescu: why not just use rot13 then
dexX7: even a stupid guy can figure something out, if he's given enough time
mircea_popescu: nanotube and as to "use both" : the point of science, any science, is to isolate what works from what doesn't and exclude the latter. this is why dentist treats your teeth his way rather than recommending you "also use shaman method".
dexX7: i'd like to know: why do you say single file encryption is preferred?
mircea_popescu: because should you obtain the encrypted file there's nothing you can do.
dexX7: same applies to "encrypted hard drive", so you already include "direct access attacks". i'll rephrase then: how is single file encryption more secure in a similar scenario?

mircea_popescu: dexX7 there are numerous different avenues to remove encryption from a full disk encryption schemes.

jurov: <mircea_popescu> nanotube if i get your "full disk encrupted" pc i can full disk decrypt it. << how so?
jurov: the chick yu linked to did not do that
jurov: she just modified the bootloader for next time you'll input passphrase
jurov: so the same attack can be applied to gpg
mircea_popescu: jurov here's an 5 year old forum post going through the basics : http://forum.teamxbox.com/archive/index.php/t-617093.html
nanotube: mircea_popescu> nanotube if i get your "full disk encrupted" pc i can full disk decrypt it. if i get your gpg'd stuff, good luck to me. <- you are missing a crucial step. you don't just 'get my fde comp and got everything'
nanotube: you have to get it, modify it, then give it back to me, then get it again
nanotube: and if you do the same, you got my gpgd stuff just as well.
mircea_popescu: not at all.
mircea_popescu: i can just steal your key from the boot in a variety of different ways, also from recently powered down systems,
mircea_popescu: it's just nonsense. to be able to boot you will have to at some point trust the machine. that's all.
mircea_popescu: machine doesn't knwo you from me.
nanotube: the 'maid attack' that you link to
mircea_popescu: that's just one example.
nanotube: required the attacker to boot from usb, which modifies the bios/mbr to log pw. then you wait until i log on and snarf my pw
nanotube: you can't just 'steal my comp and have all my data'
dub: the latest link has thesame dependancy
mircea_popescu: yeah, actually, i can.
nanotube: mircea_popescu: got link to such attack?
mircea_popescu: ok, let's make it simple : do you agree that in order for your system to be safe it has to be powered down, whereas for gpg to be safe it doesn't have to be powered down ?
jurov: not
nanotube: not sure how aggressive gpg is in not storing your pw anywhere in memory. my /guess/ is that if you can take a memdump, you can get the gpg pw also. not sure though.
mircea_popescu: suppose i didn't touch gpg in the current session.
Bunnyh: suppose i didn't decrypt my disk in the current session?
mircea_popescu: how the hell are you going to boot an encrypted disk ?
dub: who says its booted? you're talking about completely different things tbh
mircea_popescu: basically, in the simplest of terms : fde requires key be available for the os at all times the disk is in use.
mircea_popescu: file level encryption makes a less burdensome requirement.
mircea_popescu: this alone is the end of the theoretical discussion.
dub: sure, deploying fde and feeling safe in the manner of your average global megacorp security weeny is silly but that doesnt make it broken
mircea_popescu: without going into all the ways truecrypt is broken and etc, which i don't feel i have the energy for
dexX7: yada yada.. i think you simply can't say "this one sucks, the other one is the way to go".
mircea_popescu: dexX7 except you can.
mircea_popescu: this is why you need experts : so they make definite statements in places where the common sense seems lost.
dub: that same weeny is probablt fine with accessing his pgp keys on an internet cafe kiosk
mircea_popescu: otherwise we're back to yadda yadfda, you can't say faith healing doesn't work.
mircea_popescu: dub well sure, but it still is a smaller burden. smaller burden wins.
Bunnyh: what's wrong with using fde when, say, developing software? would you rather have each of the thousands of files encrypted individually?
dub: well no
mircea_popescu: Bunnyh i am not disputing it
mircea_popescu: 's convenient in some cases. you have to appreciate we were discussing a specific rthing, ie, making an airgapped machine.
dub: dexX7: he can say that, kinda like, climate science is bunk because someone said al gore made it up
nanotube: mircea_popescu: sure, if you didn't happen to use gpg in the session, you're fine. and actually, gpg could be 'really good' at not caching pw in memory, thanks to gpg-agent being purpose-built to handle thing securely. cf this paper: philosecurity.org/pubs/davidoff-clearmem-linux.pdf‎
mircea_popescu: nanotube yeah.
nanotube: but then also, how about an encrypted partition with your files?
mircea_popescu: ftr, im not saying fde will never work. it may eventually work. we're not there yet.
mircea_popescu: nanotube as long as it's not bootable, perhaps it can be well implemented.
nanotube: would be easier to use than individual file encryption. and you'd also only access it when you need.
mircea_popescu: rightj. the death of fde is the boot part rly.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, in good old unix fashion, a partition is a file anyway.
nanotube: the boot part protects against an important class of attacks. namely, stolen/lost hardware.
mircea_popescu: except it doesn't rly. it tries to.
nanotube: which, let's face it, is a much more common class of issue than "someone actively trying to snoop at your files"
mircea_popescu: so you steal a diskload of gpg files. what now ?
dub: its exactly the same thing
nanotube: your diskload also contains a bunch of stuff you didn't encrypt
nanotube: because you must take effort to encrypt every file.
mircea_popescu: i mean i get it, it's lazy cvasisecurity. grand. may work well in many cases. i don't want it in my airgapped machine.
nanotube: so maybe, your email inbox contains your email address, and your name, and various 'non-essential files' also reveal a lot of info about you.
nanotube: with fde, they get bupkus.
mircea_popescu: i got news for you
mircea_popescu: if your email wasn't gpg'd its read long ago.
jurov: i mean, once someone is either able to reboot the machine without you knowing or freeze memory modules, it's pretty game over
nanotube: if your email was gpgd, your headers are still plain text. news for you? :)
mircea_popescu: jurov no, it's not.
mircea_popescu: nanotube nope. recall, im the guy using his real name in the bitcoin space.
nanotube: anyway, so my point is, it's good to have fde, to have easy 'blanket' protection against the common issue of accidental loss. and then you can use another layer such as gpg to protect the 'really important stuff'
nanotube: fde is not "zero benefit"
nanotube: though it's certainly "not as much benefit as we'd hope"
jurov: how not? if it's law enformcement, usually it's just sufficient to prove that you are owner of certain gpg key.
nanotube: which you are correct to bring up.
mircea_popescu: nanotube it's basically an antivirus product. it's good to have for your girlfriend, so it keeps the system sorta-above water.
jurov: then if you are unable to decrypt it, won't help you much
mircea_popescu: jurov i don't quite follow the logic there.
jurov: the logic is, such an powerful adversary doesn't really need the data, they have them from other sources, just metadata are OK to use against you
mircea_popescu: i fail to see how this works.
mircea_popescu: "your honor, we know X talked to Y. therefore X did it" ?
jurov: even if X signed stuff with private key found on such piece of evidence

mircea_popescu: i deny. what ?
mircea_popescu: circumstantial evidence, of the weakest sort. i'll just point and laugh at you.

jurov: as evidenced by gpg --list-keys
jurov: without ever needing any passphrase
mircea_popescu: herp. the proof is that i keep secrets ?
mircea_popescu: what is this, england ?
Bunnyh: is it any easier to explain why have you encryped partitions but don't actually know what's in there?
mircea_popescu: Bunnyh in most free countries it's enough to say it's nobody;'s business what you kee pthere and the da can either make a case or get lost.
mircea_popescu: you're not making his case for him in any circumstance.
nanotube: can we all just agree that there are multiple attack vectors, and different approaches provide varying protections against them?
dexX7: no, please continue
Bunnyh: i'd summarize this by saying that there are needs for different granularities in encrypting data
mircea_popescu: nanotube yes, we can. but we'll have to agree that while some things provide absolute protection against the attack vector, some other things provide partial protection.
mircea_popescu: they may be more convenient or profitable or w/e, but they're still qualitatively different.
nanotube: what's this "the attack vector" you speak of? haven't we agreed that there are multiple? :D
jurov: such as denying that attack vector exists "in any circumstance" mkay.

jurov: they would sencence you on such "evidence", no problem
mircea_popescu: we can agree that wearing a maillot is kinda like being dressed, except if it gets wet, or if it gets flashed or if there's a black light etc.
mircea_popescu: jurov ostensibly they can just shoot you, too. hardly part of the discussion i guess.
Namworld: So, no one is running a MPOE or BBET passthrough currently? Jurov, would you be willing to take my holders on coinbr?
jurov: Namworld: yes

jurov: oh and the real reason why i don't get the issue with fde, is that you imply attackers have access to memory and that implies the machine was on or was shut down just minutes ago
jurov: now, who is going to keep airgapped machine always on?
jurov: and if the adversary can time their attack precisely, they can as well tranquilize you right after you typed gpg passphrase
mircea_popescu: again different windows. "computer being on" vs "that second right after he's typed a pw"
jurov: i admit that. but doesn't look very different to me
mircea_popescu: that's a problem of perspective, tho.
mircea_popescu: also, whole disk vs file that was being processed. also very different payoffs.
mircea_popescu: security is, in the end, the job of minimizing exposure.

mircea_popescu: nevertheless.
dexX7: now that this is out - for what did you sue them?
mircea_popescu: most notably we had a dispute as to whether a foreign worker's qualifications are to be evaluated by its employer or the bureaucrats.
dub: evaluated?
mircea_popescu: yeah, something like, "I want to hire X guy, give him a work permit". "we won't, because X guy could be replaced by local labor" "stfu"
dub: ah
mircea_popescu: well their idea is something like... oh computer programming ? sure, we got this guy, he took a six months java course.
mircea_popescu: computers, pizza ovens, trucks, what's the big difference.
