I'm working on steganographic storage and file encryption tool.
tird /tɪrd/ (an acronym for "this is random data") is a steganographic storage and file encryption tool.
With tird [0], you can:
1. Encrypt file contents and comments with keyfiles and passphrases. The encrypted data format (cryptoblob) is a padded uniform random blob (PURB): it looks like random data and has a randomized size. This reduces metadata leakage from file format and length and allows cryptoblobs to be hidden among random data.
2. Create steganographic (hidden, undetectable) storage (tirdFS) inside container files and block devices. Unlike VeraCrypt and Shufflecake, tirdFS containers do not contain headers; the user specifies the data locations inside the container and is responsible for keeping those locations separate. Any random-looking region of a file or block device may be used as a container.
3. Prevent fast access to decrypted data using time-lock encryption.
4. Use additional tools:
- Create files filled with random data to use as containers or keyfiles.
- Overwrite the contents of block devices and regular files with random data to prepare containers or destroy residual data.
Perhaps many would have refused to donate if they knew that the project would be archived in a year. Collecting for audit and then archiving the project is, in a way, a violation of expectations.
A team of developers from Harvard has announced a breakthrough in the field of quantum computer development - they have managed to solve one of the problems of achieving quantum superiority. According to scientists, the processor developed by them is resistant to errors and is able to overcome the noise that arises during the operation of such systems - the discovery paves the way for the production of large-scale logic processors.
I wrote these explanations because many people do not even see the difference between the things mentioned above, although there is definitely a difference. Not noticing the difference leads people to false conclusions.
What is "child pornographer" btw? Is it the one who produces? Is it the one who distributes?
Sharing CP != child abuse. Viewing CP != child abuse. Storing CP != child abuse. I want to defend CP viewers. Children can suffer during production (but not always: teenagers can film themselves, for example, i.e. make home videos just like adults). But no one suffers directly during the storage, viewing and distribution of files.
