The First Step

The first step to computer security is to remove any malicious or vulnerable software, e.g. Windows.

Keys to Security

My pal Jeffrey Sorensen says that the best implementation of the decryption process will requires all of the following,

  • Something you know, i.e. the OTP process. An enemy might not know what method was used to encrypt the file. In fact, a novice hacker will see nothing but seemingly random bytes.
  • Something you have, like an RFID key.
  • Something you are, i.e. a biometric access method for the pad file. E.g. a fingerprint reader on a thumb drive that stores the pad.

Security Software

GPG is a great way to encrypt files and email. This is my pgp key

AES and OTP are also excellent ways to encrypt important information.

IPtrap detects hacker entry attempts and blacklists them, preventing future attempts.
