As technology grows better , even home computers can be installed with decryption programs to decrypt/hack/crack the commonly use 256 bits AES encryption which is supposedly to be an international standard encryption used by companies , groups , individuals , organizations , governments ...etc . Those who understand and have knowledge of cryptography would understand the insecurities of these supposedly strong international encryption which is suppose to protect your data. Does it really protect your data ? NO !!!
So do you think your encrypted transactions , secure webs , encrypted text , databases , applications are really safe ? NO !!!
Those who think that current encryption is safe should start to feel the dangers looming just over the horizon as home computers , laptops , mobile devices and servers are nowadays equiped with multiple core CPU , better hardware specifications , better technology ...
Usual hackers are one thing to worry. The next thing to worry is those whom you trust most with your secrets. Why ? They can easily betray you. Computers can and would and have always been betraying us by 'accidentally' leaking our vital data out in many forms.
Governments around the world these days are outrightly denying us of our basic rights of privacy by sniffing our data we sent across the internet. In the name of war against terrorism, they implement such methods...which we have very little idea of their real intentions. Companies , groups and organizations do not usually keep their promises of safe keeping our personal data from others which we give them during our surveys or registrations. They always have good excuses to evade if we ask them why our data have been leaked. Some companies and organizations may go to the extend of doing 'under the table' trading of our personal datas they 'promised' to keep secret in contracts to those who are willing to pay them huge sums of money.
So you think by using encrypted instant messaging , encrypted databases , safe and secure SSL , TLS data channels to surf the net and downloads and send encrypted emails or do purchases over secure websites, you are really very safe ? Do you think firewalls , proxies , SELinux , AppArmor , Anti virus , anti spyware , anti malware are secure ?
I would definitely say NO !!! You are not safe with all these encrypted or so called 'secure' features. There is always ways to break it. Huge agencies and organizations have the money, resources , man power , brains ... all at their disposal to crack and break every single encryption there is today and in the future if they really start to become serious ...or should I say ..many have already started to do so ...
Do you really trust the applications you are running or you downloaded and installed in your computer ? Do you trust your Operating System would not betray your data to someone ?
NO !!!
So some of you may think I am crazy and paranoid ... but it's always better to be safe than sorry when real disaster strikes. So some of you might ask, if the world is really insecure, then what now ? Well this is how the world work. As long as there is us , humans , and as long as we become more powerful , we become more corrupted by power and become more power hungry. Yes , the ugly side of human nature. It's disgusting isn't it ?
So eventually and finally, there's NO SUCH THINGS AS SECRETS BECAUSE ALL SECRETS CAN AND WOULD BE KNOWN !!! Even the military grade encryptions are vulnerable because sooner or later , someone would crack it. Well, we have to live with it in an era where our secrets cannot be kept in a machine or on paper and neither in our minds.
Welcome to the INSECURE WORLD...
