What do you think about those dead projects??
OpenPuff/MultiObfuscator is just hard to use. It requires 3 to 4 passwords, and it forces you to use different passwords to encrypt shit when 2 passwords is sufficient for everything. One for decoy and 1 for real data.
FreeOTFE got outshined by Truecrypt, then Veracrypt. It’s written by a woman developer, but she got outshined. Not saying her skills are bad, but Truecrypt is written by a TEAM.
Diskcryptor → outshined by Veracrypt
Ciphershed → outshined by Veracrypt
Password Safe → Still uses 2048 rounds PBKDF2. I want to use it for notes but it requires you to fill in dummy username/password. Outshined by Keepass.
I dont use any crypto related products, but what makes you think they have potential to be revived?
OpenPuff uses a custom encryption method, 16 ciphers are randomly chosen to encrypt blocks based on CSPRNG.
If I have programming skills, I would only use AES, Twofish, and Serpent.
I would also merge all 3 passwords into 1. 1 password using different KDF can net different results.
Layer1 is cryptography, this is most important, so I use Argon2d.
Layer2 is scrambling algorithms, this is less important, so hashing password into CSPRNG is sufficient.
Layer 3 is whitening, this is also not important, so using L1 key to encrypt L2 key to form L3.
This way the password entropy is “diffused” to all 3 layers. An attacker can only attack the password. Given L3 key and L2 key, it is impossible to derive an L1 key.
Of course, I lack programming skills, but I would 100% revive OpenPuff/MultiObfuscator.
Picocrypt has potential!!
