Hi,
I use Truecrypt on one of my laptops usin AES encrytion with a 20 complex password.
There are also Serpent and Twofish algorithms but I went for AES. One could also combine the three one but...
Is a AES container with a 20 complex password (mixed CAPS and a few !"#¤%&) good enough, how long would it take for NSA to decrypt it?
If not, shall I go with a more complex password or combine with Serpent and Twofish?
The speed in and out of the container is reduced with 75% if I go with all three algorithms...

I believe Bruce Schneier, who is knowledgeable in such matters, once said:
Assume the NSA can break *anything* they want but not *everything* they want.
The real question here is what do you have on your hard drive that would be of any interest to the NSA?

Very interesting, thanks for posting it.

lol with 20^96 combinations that would be >2,5*10^108 years (1,000,000,000 pw/s)
that should be quite safe.
if they want you really bad they'll just 'ask' you to tell them your password :>
