Encryption – breaking the myth

Why do ostriches bury their heads in the sand?

Does Donald Trump really believe it sensible to build a wall between the US and Mexico?

Will encryption protect our data?

Search for the Truth

There are so many myths to muse about! They sound great. Myths are easy to remember. They play well with others – the myth that is.

Ostriches bury their “eggs” in the sand. Just for a moment – it appears to bury its head – when turning the eggs.

Don't bury your head in a myth

Encryption protects communication. Just for a moment – it appears to protect static data – if no one ever steals it.

Let’s take a closer look.

Have you seen the “Imitation Game”? Even though the Enigma machine was adhering to its truest purpose, protecting communication, Turing broke the encryption - daily.

Think of encryption as a safe. It is a good safe. The locking mechanism is very good – prime numbers. So what’s the problem?

Just like in the “real world”, if someone steals the “entire safe”, they get the contents as well. Once that safe is in their back yard, it is only a matter to time!

What evidence is there that encryption can be broken?

When eBay’s breach occurred back in 2014, their user base, complete with encrypted passwords was stolen. That’s right, encrypted passwords. And what did they say? “Change your passwords”. Why would they warn users to change their passwords when they were encrypted? Isn’t the answer obvious? Those in the industry know the answer!
Encryption can be broken.

Adele’s Photo Hack (like other celebrities) involved combinations of iCloud and email services. Bottom line, encryption can be broken.
The Cloud needs a security service that supersedes encryption.

In simple terms, prime numbers are the keys that lock and unlock encryption. 128-bit encryption versus 256-bit encryption tells us how large these keys are. They are very large. The larger they are, the more difficult it is to find the key. So where’s the problem?

Computers are more powerful every day. Prime number generators exist. Modern computers equipped with prime number generators can do in seconds what it would have taken Turing’s computer, years to compute during the second world war.

What’s the alternative? We need to do something to protect our data in the Cloud.
