..also make sure the data is not sniffed on the target computer, the best encryption doesn't help when you have a trojan on the client, transferring all secret data.

Yes, always worth remembering that whenever the truecrypt volume is unlocked, the most vulnerable point is the machine with full access.

Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
Question:<br />
<br />
Samba share on a linux server.<br />
<br />
True Crypt file container located on the samba share (on the linux servers hard drive).<br />
<br />
True Crypt file container mounted on a remote windows computer as drive Z<br />
<br />
Can the data between the linux server and the remote windows computer be snooped / packet sniffed? Or is the decryption done completely on the client side (windows computer)?<br />
<br />
| samba | &lt;------&gt; | hostile network with sniffers | &lt;------&gt; | windows computer<br />
<br />
?<br />
<br />
Thanks for the help!<br />

TrueCrypt File Container Over Samba. Is it safe from packet sniffers?

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.

Encryption

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

Security

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
