Usually it sould be a spare time project, since I choose the internet cafe at random and video grabber cost about $170 (see http://www.keydemon.com/ ). It would be nice to be protected against hardware keyloggers at least with the software I proposed. I know some C basics. In case I find some time, where could I get the mentioned linux knowledge? Originally I wanted to find a way to use my GnuPG key in internet cafes savely. Since as you pointed out, even with the software I proposed, there is no "absolute" security. Here's my pragmatical solution: 0. Use privatix. 1. Protect against hardware keyloggers with the software I proposed to defeat the "most common" thread. 2. Use TWO GnuPG keys with the following user-IDs: "My Name (very safe, your email reaches me at my save PC at home only) <myaddress@xxxxxx>", "My Name (not completely safe, your email reaches me in unsecure internet cafes and at home) <myaddress@xxxxxx>" 3. Have two privatix USB sticks, one for at home, the other for internet cafes etc. The first one never leaves my home. This way people who want to send me an encrypted email can decide for hemselves which level of security their message needs. If they chose the second key at east internet providers cannot read the content of the email and send personalized advertisments etc. Another question: When I plug in my USB stick in an internet cafe, boot from it and have decrcypted it, is there a hardware mechanism known to you that could automatically copy the DECRYPTED contents of my stick? I think that's unlikely since the decryption takes place in the OS, ist that right? _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
