Title: Best way to communicate securely? Post by: SgtSpike on July 17, 2011, 05:00:40 AM I need to send a confidential piece of data to another person electronically. What is the best method of doing so, with zero chance of anyone else intercepting/interpreting/storing the data sent? I would send it via email, but email logs could potentially reveal it in the future. I would send it via a chat program, but not sure whether the central server for the chat service might be storing the data.

Title: Re: Best way to communicate securely? Post by: joulesbeef on July 17, 2011, 06:11:49 AM torchat is pretty brainless and uses the tor network
pigeon with the encryption plugin. or as said above, gpg or something like www.encr1pt3d.com which just lets you make a simple encrypted message with a pass.. there are a lot of sites like it but of course you have to trust how it was set it.

Title: Re: Best way to communicate securely? Post by: bitfreak! on July 17, 2011, 11:57:31 PM Download Hamachi (https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/download.aspx) and set up a LAN-like network over the internet with people you trust. The application comes with a simple chat utility, and all convo's are encrypted with AES-256 using the network key shared between members of your group.

Post by: naypalm on July 18, 2011, 05:55:12 AM Use 7zip, right click on the folder click add to archive, encrypt it using AES 256-bit and use a really super long complex password. Create an account and Upload it to MegaUpload. Send the link via email. Once they download it, check to see if it was only downloaded 1 time and delete it. Then send password via email.
Both ends must have a secure connection to their email website of course (https://) |
