Why does everyone imagine that the "crypto nerd" will be a "him"? This gendered language is simply reinforcing the sexist stereotypes that serve as the cultural foundation for rape and other symptoms of this sexist worldview. I'm changing this to "him or her"... {{unsigned|Vctr}} | Why does everyone imagine that the "crypto nerd" will be a "him"?

| − | + | The text of the comic refers to the cryptonerd being a him. Please check yourself before you wreck yourself. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.221.99|108.162.221.99]] 18:07, 1 May 2015 (UTC) | |

What would happen if the owner of the computer used deniable cryptography with some decoy message? -- [[Special:Contributions/173.245.48.141|173.245.48.141]] 08:35, 15 July 2015 (UTC) | What would happen if the owner of the computer used deniable cryptography with some decoy message? -- [[Special:Contributions/173.245.48.141|173.245.48.141]] 08:35, 15 July 2015 (UTC) | ||

Surely if he's encrypting his PC, he should be using something like 256-bit AES/Rijndael, as it's more secure?

I doubt the crypto "nerd"'s nerdiness. RSA is not generally used for disk encryption. It relies on the computation of large primes, a task infeasible for data of such size. Instead, AES is used.

:Quite often, disk encryption is done in two steps: Instead of generating key directly from passphrase, random symmetrical key is generated and used for actual encryption of whole disk, then encrypted by key generated from passphrase and stored ON the disk. That allows to change the passphrase without reencrypting whole disk. While the algorithm used for encrypting disk could be and often is AES, it's possible to use RSA for the second step. And breaking 4096bit RSA would still be quicker than breaking 256bit AES. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 22:35, 15 July 2019 (UTC) | :Quite often, disk encryption is done in two steps: Instead of generating key directly from passphrase, random symmetrical key is generated and used for actual encryption of whole disk, then encrypted by key generated from passphrase and stored ON the disk.

:Please sign your comments. - Also this article has been vandalized few times, to change wrench->wench. I now notice that the title text here also says so. On the original page it says wrench. --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 06:15, 14 August 2019 (UTC) | :Please sign your comments. - Also this article has been vandalized few times, to change wrench->wench.
