| Jul 31, 2014 at 6:40 | comment | added | otus | @AaronW., I wouldn't even go so far as saying it isn't good practice. I would just continue what you are doing. If paranoid about it, use a different cipher to encrypt the files than the filesystem uses (LUKS = AES?). | |
| Jul 30, 2014 at 23:08 | comment | added | Aaron W. | Thank you. So in short it isn't a good practice but not an instant gaping security hole. The next part then though would be: how to store encrypted files. I'm guessing storing the encrypted files on an unencrypted usb fixes the cascade issue, but that does rather lay the files bare... any ideas on secure storage of encrypted files, if you don't mind? | |
