Julian Assange: My Next Leak Will Ensure Hillary’s Arrest …

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has said that Wikileaks have obtained information that, when released soon, will guarantee a Hillary Clinton indictment.

During a recent interview with ITV, Assange said his next release will provide enough evidence to see Hillary arrested.

Silenceisconsent.net reports:

WikiLeaks has already published 30,322 emails from Clintons private email server, spanning from June 30, 2010 to August 12, 2014. While Assange didnt specify what exactly was in the emails, he did tell ITV that WikiLeaks had accumulated a lot of material about Hillary Clinton, which could proceed to an indictment.

Assange hinted that the emails slated for publication contain additional information about the Clinton Foundation. He also reminded ITVs Robert Peston that previously released emails contained one damning piece of communication from Clinton, instructing a staffer to remove the classification settings from an official State Department communication and send it through a nonsecure channel. Assange then pointed out that the Obama administration has previously prosecuted numerous whistleblowers for violating the governments procedures for handling classified documents.

In regard to the ongoing FBI investigation, however, Assange expressed a lack of confidence in the Obama administrations Justice Department to indict the former Secretary of State.

[Attorney General Loretta Lynch] is not going to indict Hillary Clinton. Its not possible that could happen. But the FBI could push for new concessions from the Clinton government in exchange for its lack of indictment.

WikiLeaks has long been a thorn in the side of the former Secretary of State, who called on President Obama to prosecute the whistleblowing site after its 2010 leak of State Department cables. Julian Assange remains confined to the Ecuadorian Embassy in downtown London, as Ecuador has promised to not hand over the WikiLeaks founder to US authorities.

Cryptocurrency Market The World’s Leading Authority On …

ATTENTION! Investors,Traders,Hedge Funds, Private Portfolio Managers, Professional Athletes, & Housewife Investors Who WantTo Make Life Changing ProfitsIn Cryptocurrency Investing! Finally, The Ultimate, Most Complete,& Highly Anticipated

In 2012, I discovered the bitcoin whitepaper while working at an energy brokerage firm that operated a bitcoin mining farm. I did not understand the computer math and coding in the whitepaper so I asked my good friendLeon Fu Dot Com (we call him that because he is a professional software engineer and real nerdy techie) to help me verify that bitcoin really works.

Leon Fu Dot Com started investing in bitcoins and litecoins after reading the whitepaper and immediately made some really nice profits so that encouraged me to start investing in bitcoins as well. We realized it was like the internet dot com boom of the 1990s again and we wanted to get an early mover advantage to make some massive Life Changing Profits!

2. How did you learn to invest in cryptocurrencies?

Leon Fu Dot Com had dabbled instocks and options investing and I had experience in trading stocks, futures and the forex markets so we thought we had an advantage when we first started to invest in cryptocurrencies (aka, cryptos). We were totally wrong andgot slaughtered in 2013! We made a ton of ugly, reckless, & bonehead mistakes and almost lost everything and gave up on crypto but we had never seen an asset in human history grow over 1,000,000%before like bitcoin so we were determined not to give up!!!

Plus, we were passionately motivated to leave our 9 to 5 job and stop working for the man and be a slave to the almighty alarm clock again because working for an hourly wage was NOT the recipe to making Life Changing Moneyso wepushed ourselves to figure it out and learn from our past mistakes & failures which led us tosome BIG breakthroughs including:

Certain traditional investing strategies ALWAYS caused you to lose bucket loads of money in crypto! Certain traditional investing strategiesworked amazingly better than others. Certain cryptos such as Ethereum displayed very obvious traits of success long before they became a big hit. Even better we noticed that when you combine certain investing strategies, it dramatically increased your profits!

After carefully analyzing our successes and failures, Leon Fu Dot Com and Icame across a HUGE game changer & discovered that there were 5 common traits to all the cryptocurrencies that hit it big.

Westarted to share our crypto insights and discoveries on YouTube and others started to follow and havetremendous success as well. Before you know it, we started to get thousands of newsubscribers and a flood of requests for us to teach what we know about cryptocurrency investing to others.

We never expected random strangers from around the world to contact us and ask us to invest their money for themafter watching us on YouTube so we had to respectfully decline everyones requests to manage their money sincewe are NOT licensed financial advisors. Afterwards, we started getting requests from viewers asking us to teach them privatelyabout cryptocurrency investing but we did nottake it seriously because we genuinely thought they were just joking around or trolling (harassing) us. However, after talking toseveral viewers who contacted us privately to seek coaching & mentoring, we started to realize that our viewers requests to teach them our crypto investing system and methodologies werereal and that is how we created theCryptocurrency Investing Bootcamp.

We did not realize that there were thousands of beginning,uneducated and uninformed crypto investors out there who were struggling to figure out cryptocurrency investinglike we did. Therefore, dont be frustrated if you are struggling with cryptocurrency investing because you are NOT alone! Its NOT just you! Our advice is to get properly educated so you cantake advantage of the Life Changing Profit potential in cryptocurrency investing before it becomes mainstream in 2-3 years and there is no opportunities left to make Life Changing Money anymore.

Absolutely we have proof that our system works! We have a firm belief that documentation trumps conversation! Let me show you the documentation (proof)so you can see that its not just all conversation.

PROOF #1 Here is a video documenting how Leon Fu Dot Com clearly predicted that Factom will reach $3.50 back when it was still only trading at a low of $1.20:

Factom exploded over 3,000% (30X) in growthfrom $1.20 to a high of $36.32 on June 23, 2017 just 15 months after we released the video price prediction above on April 13, 2016:

PROOF #2 Using the analysis strategies we teach in the bootcamp, Leon Fu Dot Com made an assessment that buyingEthereum Classic (ETC) in March 2017 was a better potential for profit than Ethereum (ETH) and it turned out to be true because ETC went up 327% (3X)while ETH only moved up 136%.

PROOF #3 Based on my analysis of bitcoin in Oct 2016 I suggested bitcoin was at a good buy level which yielded a phenomenal 345% of Life Changing Profits in just 8 months!

PROOF #4Here is another tweet & chart documenting my analysis of Monero which resulted in a quick 165% of Life Changing Profits in just 9 weeks:

As you can see, this is just a small sample documentation to show that our crypto investing strategies work and that we are not just all conversation.

The Cryptocurrency Investing Bootcamp is a private, 4 day, hands on comprehensive crypto investing workshop whereLeon Fu Dot Com and I will personally hold your hand and teach you everything we know about how to get started and become a consistently profitable cryptocurrency investorby showing youexactly how to find the most profitable cryptocurrencies that will give you the highest potential to make 100-1,000% of Life Changing Profits.

Before you decide if theCryptocurrency Investing Bootcamp is for you or notI want to tell you why this program is vastly different from everything else thats ever been created on the topic of cryptocurrency investing.

Reason #1 This is the FIRST TIMEEVERthat a training program was designed specifically to help investors create Life Changing Profits and not just some EXTRAmoney because extra money doesnt change anyones life.

Reason #2 This bootcampis co-created by the two most recognized and world renowned crypto investors on the internet (Tai Zen& Leon Fu Dot Com) who specialize in creating life changing profits from cryptocurrency investing.

Reason #3 There will be no theorists or paper traders teaching the bootcamp! We have clearly documented all our crypto calls and picksBEFORE they happen on our YouTube channel for all to see, unlike many crypto investors who claim success after the fact.

Reason #4 This will be a condensed, high-impact, Best Of The Best, ground breaking, most comprehensive, step by step, crypto investing training of its kind andyou will have a complete A to Z method to systematically and effortlessly find potentially profitable cryptocurrencies, identify high probability entries, calculate the correct bet size, know when to get out if the investment if it goes against you, and know how to take profits when you are profitable so you are not scrambling around like a chicken with its head cut off asking when do you take profits.

Reason #5 We do not believe you should be in front of the computer all day making short term, in and out trades because that is no different than having a job working at home instead of at the office. After the bootcamp, you will learn how to PUT your money to WORK for you in the crypto market .

Reason #6 Its the first time that a program has ever been created SPECIFICALLY to help beginning & experienced crypto investors understand the true inner workings of the crypto market.

There are plenty of bullshit investing tricks, gimmicks, magic softwares, paper trading techniques, investment advisors, newsletters, etc. that appear to work and if they did, you wouldnt be reading about our bootcamp right now.

If you want to be a consistently profitable crypto investor then youre going to have to becomean educated crypto investor and learn some REAL crypto investing SKILLS! I seriously doubt you willfind anything else on the market that remotely comes CLOSE to the same level of high caliber training as our bootcamp!

This will be a private, intimate, and very hands on training bootcamp witha 30 Seat Max Limit! We only want a small number of students so thatwe have plenty of time to personally work with everyone.

REcoin – the First Ever Cryptocurrency Backed by Real Estate

Ethereum cryptocurrency code is used, which means the following options:

The technology of blockchain proved itself as perhaps the safest way of keeping records of transactions performed within a certain society, each member of which owns a copy of the database distributed among members of the given society.

Blockchain - a chain built from the formed blocks with records of all transactions. A copy of the Blockchain chain or its part is simultaneously stored on multiple computers and synchronized according to the formal rules for constructing the chain of blocks. The information in the blocks is not encrypted and is available in clear form, but is protected from cryptographic changes through hash chains. Thus, the Blockchain database is distributed (decentralized) and cryptographically protected (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain).

The possibility of mining, which gives the use of the methodology of protection against false data and fraud PoW, is by far the most widespread and reliable cryptocurrency in the environment.

A proof of work is a piece of data which is difficult (costly, time-consuming) to produce but easy for others to verify and which satisfies certain requirements. Producing a proof of work can be a random process with low probability so that a lot of trial and error is required on average before a valid proof of work is generated (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Proof_of_work).

The minimum unit is 10^-4, or 0,0001 REC.

The conclusion of the block will occur every 20.5s (Similar to the Ethereum software environment, https://bitinfocharts.com/en/ethereum/ ). The block volume limit is 12 KBytes.

Hacker Lexicon: What Is End-to-End Encryption? | WIRED

TL;DR:

End-to-end encryption is a system of communication where the only people who can read the messages are the people communicating. No eavesdropper can access the cryptographic keys needed to decrypt the conversationnot even a company that runs the messaging service.

Plenty of companies brag that their communications app is encrypted. But that marketing claim demands a followup question: Who has the key? In many cases, the company itself holds the cryptographic key data that lets it decrypt your messagesand so, therefore, does any hacker who compromises the company or government official standing over its shoulder.

But increasingly, privacy-conscious communications tools are rolling out a feature known as end-to-end encryption." That end-to-end promise means that messages are encrypted in a way that allows only the unique recipient of a message to decrypt it, and not anyone in between. In other words, only the endpoint computers hold the cryptographic keys, and the company's server acts as an illiterate messenger, passing along messages that it cant itself decipher.

That notion of the decryption key never leaving the user's device might seem like a paradox. If the company's server can never see the key, then how does it get onto the device when the user installs the app in the first place?

The answer is possible because of another crypto trick known as public-key encryption. In public key crypto systems, a program on your computer mathematically generates a pair of keys. One, called the private key or secret key, is used for decrypting messages sent to you and never leaves your device. The other, called the public key, is used for encrypting messages that are sent to you, and it's designed so that only the corresponding private key can decrypt those messages. That key can be shared with anyone who wants to encrypt a message to you. Think of the system like a lockbox on your doorstep for the UPS delivery man: anyone with your public key can put something in the box and lock it, but only you have the private key to unlock it.

The first free, widely used end-to-end encrypted messaging software was PGP, or Pretty Good Privacy, a program coded by Phil Zimmermann and released in 1991. But it's taken decades for that complete encryption tunnel to reach the masses. Programs like the "Off The Record" plugin for Jabber instant-messaging applications and TextSecure for text messaging have made end-to-end encryption far easier to use. Apple uses a form of end-to-end encryption in its iMessage app. (Though some security researchers have pointed to flaws in its implementation that might allow its messages to be decrypted.) Google is experimenting with an end-to-end encryption email plugin for Chrome. And just last week smartphone messaging app Whatsapp integrated TextSecure into its Android software, turning on end-to-end encryption for hundreds of millions of users.

Even end-to-end encryption isn't necessarily impervious from snooping. Rather than try to actually break the encryption, for instance, an eavesdropper may try to impersonate a message recipient so that messages are encrypted to their public key instead of the one the sender intended. After decrypting the message, the snoop can then encrypt it to the recipient's actual public key and send it on again to avoid detection; this is what's known as a man-in-the-middle attack. To combat that tactic, some end-to-end encryption programs generate unique one-time strings of characters based on the two users' public keys. The two people communicating read out that passphrase to each other before starting their conversation. If the characters match, they can be reassured there's no man in the middle.

Of course, there are still two vulnerable points left in even perfect end-to-end encryption systems: the ends. Each users' computer can still be hacked to steal his or her cryptographic key or simply read the recipients' decrypted messages. Even the most perfectly encrypted communication pipe is only as secure as the mailbox on the other end.

Distrustful U.S. allies force spy agency to back down in …

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - An international group of cryptography experts has forced the U.S. National Security Agency to back down over two data encryption techniques it wanted set as global industry standards, reflecting deep mistrust among close U.S. allies.

In interviews and emails seen by Reuters, academic and industry experts from countries including Germany, Japan and Israel worried that the U.S. electronic spy agency was pushing the new techniques not because they were good encryption tools, but because it knew how to break them.

The NSA has now agreed to drop all but the most powerful versions of the techniques - those least likely to be vulnerable to hacks - to address the concerns.

The dispute, which has played out in a series of closed-door meetings around the world over the past three years and has not been previously reported, turns on whether the International Organization of Standards should approve two NSA data encryption techniques, known as Simon and Speck.

The U.S. delegation to the ISO on encryption issues includes a handful of NSA officials, though it is controlled by an American standards body, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

The presence of the NSA officials and former NSA contractor Edward Snowdens revelations about the agencys penetration of global electronic systems have made a number of delegates suspicious of the U.S. delegations motives, according to interviews with a dozen current and former delegates.

A number of them voiced their distrust in emails to one another, seen by Reuters, and in written comments that are part of the process. The suspicions stem largely from internal NSA documents disclosed by Snowden that showed the agency had previously plotted to manipulate standards and promote technology it could penetrate. Budget documents, for example, sought funding to insert vulnerabilities into commercial encryption systems.

More than a dozen of the experts involved in the approval process for Simon and Speck feared that if the NSA was able to crack the encryption techniques, it would gain a back door into coded transmissions, according to the interviews and emails and other documents seen by Reuters.

I dont trust the designers, Israeli delegate Orr Dunkelman, a computer science professor at the University of Haifa, told Reuters, citing Snowdens papers. There are quite a lot of people in NSA who think their job is to subvert standards. My job is to secure standards.

The NSA, which does not confirm the authenticity of any Snowden documents, told Reuters it developed the new encryption tools to protect sensitive U.S. government computer and communications equipment without requiring a lot of computer processing power.

NSA officials said via email they want commercial technology companies that sell to the government to use the techniques, and that is more likely to happen when they have been designated a global standard by the ISO.

Asked if it could beat Simon and Speck encryption, the NSA officials said: We firmly believe they are secure.

ISO, an independent organization with delegations from 162 member countries, sets standards on everything from medical packaging to road signs. Its working groups can spend years picking best practices and technologies for an ISO seal of approval.

As the fight over Simon and Speck played out, the ISO twice voted to delay the multi-stage process of approving them.

In oral and written comments, opponents cited the lack of peer-reviewed publication by the creators, the absence of industry adoption or a clear need for the new ciphers, and the partial success of academics in showing their weaknesses.

Some ISO delegates said much of their skepticism stemmed from the 2000s, when NSA experts invented a component for encryption called Dual Elliptic Curve and got it adopted as a global standard.

ISOs approval of Dual EC was considered a success inside the agency, according to documents passed by Snowden to the founders of the online news site The Intercept, which made them available to Reuters. The documents said the agency guided the Dual EC proposal through four ISO meetings until it emerged as a standard.

In 2007, mathematicians in private industry showed that Dual EC could hide a back door, theoretically enabling the NSA to eavesdrop without detection. After the Snowden leaks, Reuters reported that the U.S. government had paid security company RSA $10 million to include Dual EC in a software development kit that was used by programmers around the world.

The ISO and other standards groups subsequently retracted their endorsements of Dual EC. The NSA declined to discuss it.

In the case of Simon and Speck, the NSA says the formulas are needed for defensive purposes. But the official who led the now-disbanded NSA division responsible for defense, known as the Information Assurance Directorate, said his unit did not develop Simon and Speck.

There are probably some legitimate questions around whether these ciphers are actually needed, said Curtis Dukes, who retired earlier this year. Similar encryption techniques already exist, and the need for new ones is theoretical, he said.

ANSI, the body that leads the U.S. delegation to the ISO, said it had simply forwarded the NSA proposals to the organization and had not endorsed them.

When the United States first introduced Simon and Speck as a proposed ISO standard in 2014, experts from several countries expressed reservations, said Shinichiro Matsuo, the head of the Japanese encryption delegation.

Some delegates had no objection. Chris Mitchell, a member of the British delegation, said he supported Simon and Speck, noting that no one has succeeded in breaking the algorithms. He acknowledged, though, that after the Dual EC revelations, trust, particularly for U.S. government participants in standardization, is now non-existent.

At a meeting in Jaipur, India, in October 2015, NSA officials in the American delegation pushed back against critics, questioning their expertise, witnesses said.

A German delegate at the Jaipur talks, Christian Wenzel-Benner, subsequently sent an email seeking support from dozens of cryptographers. He wrote that all seven German experts were very concerned about Simon and Speck.

How can we expect companies and citizens to use security algorithms from ISO standards if those algorithms come from a source that has compromised security-related ISO standards just a few years ago? Wenzel-Benner asked.

Such views helped delay Simon and Speck again, delegates said. But the Americans kept pushing, and at an October 2016 meeting in Abu Dhabi, a majority of individual delegates approved the techniques, moving them up to a country-by-country vote.

There, the proposal fell one vote short of the required two-thirds majority.

Finally, at a March 2017 meeting in Hamilton, New Zealand, the Americans distributed a 22-page explanation of its design and a summary of attempts to break them - the sort of paper that formed part of what delegates had been seeking since 2014.

Simon and Speck, aimed respectively at hardware and software, each have robust versions and more lightweight variants. The Americans agreed in Hamilton to compromise and dropped the most lightweight versions.

Opponents saw that as a major if partial victory, and it paved the way to compromise. In another nation-by-nation poll last month, the sturdiest versions advanced to the final stage of the approval process, again by a single vote, with Japan, Germany and Israel remaining opposed. A final vote takes place in February.

How to encrypt (almost) anything | PCWorld

It's all too easy to neglect data security, especially for a small business. While bigger organizations have IT departments, service contracts, and enterprise hardware, smaller companies frequently rely on consumer software, which lacks the same sort of always-on security functionality.

But that doesnt mean that your data is unimportant, or that it has to be at risk.

Encryption is a great way to keep valuable data safewhether youre transmitting it over the Internet, backing it up on a server, or just carrying it through airport security on your laptop. Encrypting your data makes it completely unreadable to anyone but you or its intended recipient. Best of all, much of the software used in offices and on personal computers already has encryption functionality built in. You just need to know where to find it. In this article, Ill show you where and how.

Any discussion about encryption needs to start with a different topic: password strength. Most forms of encryption require you to set a password, which allows you to encrypt the file and to decrypt it later on when you want to view it again. If you use a weak password, a hacker can break the encryption and access the filedefeating the purpose of encryption.

A strong password should be at least 10 characters, though 12 is better. It should include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, as well as numbers and symbols. If you find letters-only easier to remember, such a password can still be secure if its significantly longer; think 20 characters or more.

If youre unsure aboutwhether your password is good enough, run it through Microsofts free password checker. Never use a password rated less than Strong.

You probably already have a login password for Windows on your PC, but that wont actually protect your data if somebody steals your computer or hard drivethe thief can simply plug your drive into another PC and access the data directly. If you have lots of sensitive information on your computer, you want to employ full-disk encryption, which protects all your data even if your hardware falls into the wrong hands.

Microsofts BitLocker software makes setting up full-disk encryption in Windows incredibly easyas long as your computer meets the following two criteria:

1. You have the Ultimate or Enterprise version of Windows 7 or Vista, or the Pro or Enterprise version of Windows 8.

2. Your computer has a TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip.

The easiest way to see if your computer has a TPM chip is simply to attempt to enable BitLocker. Windows will let you know if you dont have one.

To enable BitLocker, go to Control Panel > System and Security > BitLocker Drive Encryption, or do a search for BitLocker in Windows 8. In the BitLocker menu, click Turn on BitLocker next to the drive(s) you wish to encrypt. Its as easy as that.

If your PC doesnt meet the requirements for BitLocker, you can still useTrueCrypt or DiskCryptor for free full-disk encryption.

For full-disk encryption of thumb drives and USB hard drives, you can use BitLocker To Go, which is designed for removable media. You still need a professional or enterprise version of Windows, but you dont need a TPM to use BitLocker To Go.

All you have to do is plug in the device you want to encrypt, and then once again go to the BitLocker menu. At the bottom of the menu, youll see the BitLocker To Go section, where you can click Turn on BitLockernext to the device.

Sometimes you want to encrypt your outgoing and incoming Internet traffic. If youre on an unsecured Wi-Fi network (at an airport, for instance), a hacker can intercept the data traveling to and from your laptop, which might contain sensitive information. To make that data useless to eavesdroppers, you can encrypt it, using a VPN.

A virtual private network creates a secure tunnel to a trusted third-party server. Data sent through this tunnel (either to or from your computer) is encrypted, so its safe even if intercepted. You can find Web-based VPNs that charge a small monthly fee but provide very easy access, or you can set up your own personal or business VPN.

The process of selecting or setting up a VPN is a little too long to describe here, so see ourarticle on VPN for beginners and experts alike.

If you or other people in your organization use Dropbox or SugarSync, youll be glad to know that those popular cloud storage services already encrypt your data, protecting it in transit and while it sits on their servers. Unfortunately, those same services also hold the decryption keys, which means that they can decrypt your files if, for instance, law enforcement directs them to do so.

If you have any really sensitive files in your cloud storage, use a second layer of encryption to keep them safe from prying eyes. The most straightforward way to do this is to use TrueCrypt to create an encrypted volume inside of your Dropbox. (For a complete guide to encrypting anything with TrueCrypt, see the end of this article.)

If you want to be able to access the data from other computers, consider putting a portable version of TrueCrypt in your Dropbox, as well. To do so, run the TrueCrypt installer; during the installation, choose the Extract option, and choose to put the extracted files in your Dropbox or other cloud storage.

Pamela Anderson admits she isnt actually dating Julian …

Pamela Anderson was grilled on rumors of romance with Julian Assange, before admitting she loves the WikiLeaks founder on Wednesdays Good Morning Britain.

The former Baywatch star admitted she was truly happy in life as host Piers Morgan quizzed her about her close relationship with the Australian.

On the program, Anderson, 50, admitted she had visited the political refugee in the Ecuadorian Embassy Tuesday, and described his small, cramped living conditions and hailed him as an amazing person.

Eager to discover whether they were more than pals, Morgan, 53, addressed the rumors which have been swirling since spring and asked: Youre just friends, right?

Yet the former glamour model-turned-animal rights campaigner who takes Assange vegan dinners shocked Morgan with her vague reply: Isnt it funny, everywhere I go Im on a romantic adventure.

We are friendly, yes veryfriendly.

I love Julian. Hes one of the most interesting people I have ever met.

Hes very brave and theres nothing sexier than courage.

Continuing his probe into Andersons relationship status, Morgan continued: So there is a romance?

Remaining very edgy about disclosing any specifics, and hinting she may have two lovers, the actress clarified: I wouldnt call it romance, I already have romance in my life. Can one man do it all? before bursting into giggles.

Anchor Morgan wouldnt let things slide and admitted he was shocked by Andersons reply.

When he asked whether she was in love with him, she said: In love with Julian? I love him, but I have a romantic partner.

In April, Andersonopened up for the first time about her affair with journalist Assange.

She said: I understand that our affair and the curiosity surrounding that might bring some attention to his situation.

Anderson describes her relationship with Assange as challenging, calling him a refugee and possibly the most famous refugee of our time famous for being persecuted.

How To Enable BitLocker Drive Encryption In Windows 10?

User Ratings:

This tutorialdetails how to enable BitLocker drive encryption in Windows 10. One of Windows most important security features, BitLocker drive encryption protects your important data by encrypting the entire disk volumes it is stored on. It uses a specialized Encrypting File System to achieve this. As the latest and greatest version of Microsofts line of operating systems, Windows 10 features an improved version of BitLocker, with enhanced data encryption abilities. You can easily enable BitLocker drive encryption for some (or all) of your disk drive partitions, using Windows 10. The encrypted partitions (and the data stored on them) is secured against all kinds of data loss and threats. Lets dig in deeper, and see how you can enable BitLocker drive encryption in Windows 10.

The detailed explanation of what BitLocker is pretty complicated and as such, the way it works to do what it does too, is verbose enough to warrant another article. However, at a basic level, BitLocker can be explained as a built in encryption feature of Windows that secures your data against all kinds of threats by encrypting the entire disk volumes it is stored on. It uses AES-256 encryption algorithm in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode to do this. This, combined with an Encrypting File System (EFS) and a dedicated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip provide your valuable digital data some really high quality protection.

Although the way BitLocker works is pretty complicated, enabling it to secure your data in Windows 10 is a walk in the park. The whole process is really simple, easy and takes a few clicks. Heres how to enable BitLocker drive encryption in Windows 10:

Step 1: Open up Control Panel, and select BitLocker Drive Encryption. You should see the following drive selection screen

As illustrated by the above screenshot, you can select the drive partition whose contents you want to encrypt with BitLocker Drive Encryption. Click the Turn on BitLocker option against the desired drive partition to proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Once the selected drive is initialized, you are required to specify a password for locking/unlocking the drive. As is always recommended for passwords, choose a password having a combination of upper and lower case alphabets, numbers, and special symbols. Once done, hit Next.

Step 3: The encryption wizard will now automatically create a digital recovery key that can be used to restore access to the encrypted drive, should you forget the password. The wizard also presents you with multiple options for saving the recovery key. You can save it to your Microsoft account, a file, a USB drive, or even take a printout of it.

Step 4: As a last step, the encryption wizard will ask you to choose the encryption method. You can either choose to encrypt the used disk space (faster), or the entire drive (slower, but better). After selecting the appropriate option, hit Next to start the encryption process

Thats it! Windows will now encrypt the contents of the selected disk partition using BitLocker drive encryption. Based on the disk space selected for encryption and the volume of data it holds, this process might take a while. Easy, right?

BitLocker drive encryption is a pretty advanced and useful feature of Windows and with the latest Windows 10, its better than ever. The fact that you can encrypt the contents of entire volumes makes it highly usable, especially for those who have to carry large volumes of sensitive digital information from one system to another. And with the easy encryption wizard, enabling BitLocker drive encryption in Windows 10 is as easy as it can be. This is one feature you should definitely check out in Windows 10, youll love it!

A HOOVER INSTITUTION ESSAY

ENCRYPTION SUBSTITUTES

ANDREW KEANE WOODS

Aegis Paper Series No. 1705

Introduction

Policy experts have suggested that the rise of encrypted data is not the end of intelligence collection because law enforcement can look to substitutes

other sources of intelligence, such as metadata

that prove to be just as valuable or more valuable than decrypting encrypted data.

1

This paper focuses on the other side of that insight: on the substitutes available for privacy-seekers beyond encryption, such as placing ones data in a jurisdiction that is beyond the reach of law enforcement. This framework puts encryption in context: there are many ways to keep ones data private, just as there are many ways that the government might get access to that data. While encryption is typically treated as a stand-alone computer security issue, it is a piece of a larger debate about government access to personal data.

2

Law enforcement ofcials are, in general, agnostic about the method through which they obtain evidence

what matters is obtaining it. Privacy-seekers are similarly agnostic about how they secure their privacy

what matters is having it. This means that policymakers have a wide set of options

not only about

whether

to allow law enforcement to access personal data, but also

how

to do so. This wide set of options is not reected in the debate over encryption, which is typically framed in all-or-nothing terms. Some privacy advocates take a stance that seems to allow no room for compromise (an argument that can be boiled down to its math!

3

) and some government actors do the same (essentially arguing, its terrorism!

4

). Widening the scope of the policy discussion to include related issues

what I will call encryption substitutes

may increase the chances of compromise and may generate better policy.In this short essay, I make a few simple assumptions that bear mentioning at the outset. First, I assume that governments have good and legitimate reasons for getting access to personal data. These include things like controlling crime, ghting terrorism, and regulating territorial borders. Second, I assume that people have a right to expect privacy in their personal data. Therefore, policymakers should seek to satisfy both law enforcement and privacy concerns without unduly burdening one or the other. Of course, much of the debate over government access to data is about how to respect

Data Encryption: Hardware & Software Security: Online …

Data can be encrypted two ways: at rest and in transit.

Please note: employing these two types of encryption safeguards must occur in tandem; it's not automatic. Data encrypted at rest does not guarantee it remains encrypted as it traverses a network. Conversely, data encrypted "over the wire" does not offer any safeguard that the content remains encrypted after it has reached its destination.

Refers to data storage either in a database, on a disk, or on some other form of media.

Note: Indiana law recognizes the value of disk encryption such that a lost/stolen laptop or storage media is not considered a breach if that media was encrypted (and the encryption key was notavailable with the device).

Refers to data that is encrypted as it traverses a network including via web applications, smart phone apps, chats, etc. In-transit basically refers to the point at which the data leaves the storage drive or database until it's re-saved or delivered to its destination. Protecting information in transit essentially ensures protection from others attempting to snoop or eavesdrop on information as it traverses the network.

Symmetric key algorithms use related, often identical keys to both encrypt and then decrypt information. In practice, this is known mostly as a shared secret between two or more parties.

Asymmetric key algorithms, however, use different keys to encrypt and decrypt information; one key encrypts (or locks) while the other decrypts (or unlocks). In practice, this is known mostly as a public/private key; the public key can be shared openly, the private key should not. In mostcryptographic systems, it is extremely difficult to determine the private key values based on the public key.
