[Bug 825986] Re: Use a safer encyption algorithm

 

Hello Carlos,

Syncany basically supports all Java-compatible synchronous encryption
methods. If we used the Bouncycastle provider, we could use the
following algorithms:
http://www.bouncycastle.org/specifications.html#install (table in
section 5.2)

The rest is just a matter of the UI :-)

Cheers

Title:
  Use a safer encyption algorithm

Status in Syncany:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Actually, the algorithms used by Syncany are too unsafe (only AES and
  3DES). It's a huge security bug IMHO.

  Syncany should be able to use safer encyption algorithms like PGP
  (GPG) or AES+Twofish+Serpent.
