Why are people wiping their phone and computer before ctb if I may ask?
I don't plan on wiping my computer, but then I have a full disk encryption which you need to enter password before it even boots. So no one can use those easily by passable windows passwords.
I use a 3 set system, so if one encryption breaks... they still need to go break the other 2 encryptions. So at first if they tried to break my encryption they would be faced with AES as my first line of defence, if they ever cracked that, they'd have to break through Twofish encryption, and lastly if they broke through that; they would have to break through Serpent encryption.
As of writing this, all 3 remain unbroken.
"None of
Twofish,
Serpent and
AES are currently known as broken, so as far as security is concerned, you can use any of them.
AES has a slight advantage because it's very widely used, so if it gets broken you're more likely to hear about it and get relevant software updates quickly."
As for my phone, that's encrypted too but it's googles own encryption so I'm not sure i trust it... will remove the fingerprint ability to unlock my phone and change the pin to something they would never guess before i CTB.
Last thing I want is someone booting up my computer and accessing websites i've been on, or exchanges I've had. So yeah, I keep my PC on lock down lol.
To me, my whole life is revolved around being on the internet for ages now... so for someone to boot into my PC would be a grave violation of my privacy, don't want people snooping.
