Boon Mee Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 News you can use: Encryption used in Apple's iMessage chat service has stymied attempts byfederal drug enforcement agents to eavesdrop on suspects'conversations, an internal government document reveals. An internal Drug Enforcement Administration document seen by CNETdiscusses a February 2013 criminal investigation and warns that becauseof the use of encryption, "it is impossible to intercept iMessages between two Apple devices" even with a court order approved by a federal judge. Internal document from the Drug Enforcement Administration complains thatmessages sent with Apple’s encrypted chat service are “impossible tointercept,” even with a warrant. Interesting, eh? Big Brother can be foiled it seems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tj10110 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 FALSE - this is false information planted to get people to use this thinking it is secure. There is no "Common" encryption that the governments cannot break and there are back doors to most of the common ones. Best would be using something like TRUECRYPT and doing a double encryption. Could be broken in time but it would really give those snoops a headache in trying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonrthai Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 iMessage does not work very well if using a Mac and a mobile device on the same account. Messages routinely show up out of order or don't even show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truecrypt is used for encrypting files folders or disks its not used for encrypting messages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRUECRYPT is easy to break with a brutforce attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supashot Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Only if the pc has not been turned off. Turned off? Even easier using a hard disk cloner so I can do it at home. Forensic style! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somtamnication Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I do forensics stuff. When talking about truecrypt, in order to trap the password in cache, the pc has to be turned on. If you turn off the pc, it is impossible to decrypt truecrypt drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
