O’rly?
All the security blogs I usually read are going crazy about full disk encryption. Their stories are all the same… Disk encryption foils investigators. Not news.
Whenever disk encryption is discussed (and comments allowed) it’s said that encryption has a shelf life. Sure, but it doesn’t go bad, it just provides less of a barrier between payload and attacker. And DES was never broken. Broken is an attack more effective than brute force, the break in DES is brute force. Though some would argue what the definition of is is. It’s an oldie but a goodie, but no one should use DES on data at rest. Just saying.
