what is the higest or THE BEST ANd MOST secure way to store my data?

Question

I was wondering if any one of you know what the highest security i can get to store my data, like i have truecrypt, but is the anything higher and more secure, and you know how there is like 100 byts of security, and like AES is like 265 byts of security or somtn close, is there any higher that i could use to secure files to the max?

Answer 1

Okay, it depends on what enviroment you have and how you want to access it.

For a business enviroment, you would be looking at putting it on a nice file server. You should have twice as many drives as you need in this file server (one for using and the other for mirroring just incase the first breaks). Then you need another 2 lots of the same space in external form, such as external harddrives, tapes or that sort of thing. One for use in the office and one for keeping offsite. This will mean no matter what happens the data can be backed up. To secure it you will need to most likely call in a security expert or put a nice Operating system with a LDAP based system (such as, Windows 2003 for beginners or Linux Samba for experts) and then put permissions on the partitions.

For home use (or use for 1 - 3 computers) you need to get a file server or a network storage device and then put that into a router or a switch then put that accross to the other computers and dont bridge the device to the internet. So only people on the home network (the 1 - 3 computers) can access it.

I can help you more with this if you need it. Please email me [e-mail] if you need anymore help.

Answer 2

Home or business environment? Public or non public? Server or not?

Assuming you do mean store data.

This may sound simple but, the best way to store secure data is take it either off line, off network or both. Not much help eh?

"Present-day computer security is a house of cards; it may stand for now, but it can't last. Many insecure products have not yet been broken because they are still in their infancy. But when these products are widely used, they will become tempting targets for criminals. The press will publicize the attacks, undermining public confidence in these systems. Ultimately, products will win or lose in the marketplace depending on the strength of their security. "-- Bruce Schneier. Source - Communications of the ACM, v. 40, n. 1, January 1997, p. 138

Answer 3

You probably don't want to hear this but the best secure way to store your files is to put them on a PC that is not connected to a LAN or the Internet.
