I’ve never trusted full disk encryption because I understand the person most likely to get locked out of my data is me.
I can see the use case for laptops, but my security policy is “if you have physical access, you win”.
Same. I encrypt my laptop disks, but I never bothered with the home machines.
yes, and then i forget the encryption password as i don’t use the laptops that much these days and now have it written on the lid
kidding :) or am I :(
well i suppose it depends on how deep your personal security goes. are your passwords stored on your device? are they stored securely? do you have a password manager? do you have a standalone app for your password manager and not a browser extension? is the master password for your password manager stored on any of your devices? do you have any settings that automatically locks your PC upon inactivity? is the pin for your PC related to you personally in any way? i get what you’re saying because at the end of the day physical access IS pretty hard to mitigate. but you’d be surprised how far simple steps can take you.
At best a virtual rncrypted disk on the unencrypted drive.
If you (not you OP) are doing that secretive work, maybe you shouldnt do that on this OS and instead on Tails or other temporary distros
“I can’t use Linux windows just works”,
Anyone who says that is not using veracrypt.
And this why Secure Boot can’t be trusted. It is Micro$lop that signs and issues the keys.
You can use custom keys with secure boot. Any PC newer than 2015 should give you that option.
You don’t have to use Microsoft’s keys.
This isn’t a secure boot issue. This is a bootloader issue.
I’m not sure what the problem is. His account is locked, but it’s not like he can’t still sign code and distribute it even if that means using a new account.
Edit: other articles point out that his company failed certification, and he’s not been able to reach support to find out why.
The answer to your question was in the article;
Because Microsoft requires developer accounts like his to re-verify the security of their software, Idrassi said that many devices running VeraCrypt will soon be unable to boot if the issue is not resolved.
In Idrassi’s case, he said he is able to push new updates to Linux and macOS users unhindered, but the majority of his users that run Windows cannot currently receive updates.
So, no problem then.
Linux already has LUKS and dm-crypt, so VeraCrypt isn’t really necessary.
Unless you want multiiplatform.
