Oct 5	revised	Salting when encrypting? deleted 2 characters in body
Sep 24	comment	Which is more secure using a CSPRNG for a One-time pad, or AES? @Thomas No, I just wanted to clarify my question based on the answers.
Sep 21	revised	Which is more secure using a CSPRNG for a One-time pad, or AES? added 80 characters in body

Sep 4	accepted	How to encrypt data and know it will be secure for at least a few decades?
Sep 3	comment	How to encrypt data and know it will be secure for at least a few decades? @poncho Ah, good advice. This is what happens when I get creative. I forget the fundamentals.
Sep 3	comment	How to encrypt data and know it will be secure for at least a few decades? Thanks Simon. Good advice. Was not familiar with GCM but will do some research and see if I can find an implementation. Was going to use CBC.
Sep 2	comment	How to encrypt data and know it will be secure for at least a few decades? @poncho The key and ciphertext are held by two different parties until the time comes for decryption. The objective for the encryption is to be sure neither party can decrypt the message without the other.
Sep 2	comment	How to encrypt data and know it will be secure for at least a few decades? @CodesInChaos The keys will be stored on a sperate system. Obviously if the key is compromised then the system fails. That is true if I just use AES one time. Does nesting different algorithms help against cryptanalysis and brute force?
Sep 2	comment	How to encrypt data and know it will be secure for at least a few decades? Hadn't considered hashing together CSPRNGs.
Sep 2	comment	How to encrypt data and know it will be secure for at least a few decades? Like I said, I'm fine with overkill. Does combining Serpent and Rijndael like I'm describing improve the strength?
Sep 2	comment	How to encrypt data and know it will be secure for at least a few decades? @PaŭloEbermann Prefer resistance to cryptanalysis as well as brute force. Updated question.

Sep 2	comment	How to encrypt data and know it will be secure for at least a few decades? @CodesInChaos Was going to use a system level CSPRNG. I would be using CBC with a random IV generated with each key. There would be a single hash stored for the original message, not for each level of nesting.

Mar 20	comment	Would it be secure to use random numbers from random.org in a cryptographic solution? Really cool. Let me get my lead lined lab coat and get to work!
Jan 12	revised	two public keys with same passphrase insecure? \| can two hashes be compared? added 33 characters in body
Jan 12	revised	two public keys with same passphrase insecure? \| can two hashes be compared? A good simple explanation of RSA.
