The GELI encryption requires a secret key and a secret passphrase. I am updating the data to that drive once every three months (my calendar is reminding me about it), and afterwards, I keep that drive at a secret location outside of my apartment. All the information needed to decrypt (mounting the GELI container) is stored at another (secure) place. Key and passphrase are kept at different sites, though. Even if someone knew of it, he would not be able to decrypt it as some additional insider knowledge would be required as well.</p> <h2>Walking one round less</h2> <p>I am thinking of buying a second 2TB USB drive and setting it up the same way as the first one. So I could alternate the backups. One drive would be at the secret location, and the other drive would be at home. And these drives would swap place after each cycle. This would give some security about the failure of that drive, and I would have to go to the secret location only once (swapping the drives) instead of twice (picking that drive up to update the data + bringing it back to the remote location).</p> -<p>E-Mail me your thoughts at sno@xo!</p> +<p>E-Mail me your thoughts at snonux@snonux.de!</p> <a class="textlink" href="../">Go back to the main site</a><br /> <p class="quote"><i>Generated with <a href="https://codeberg.org/snonux/gemtexter">Gemtexter</a>, served by <a href="https://www.OpenBSD.org">OpenBSD</a>/<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/httpd.8">httpd(8)</a></i></p> </body> |
