Encrypted Backup - Rijndael Method

ABS software will support 256 bit key encryption! This will represent a mayor step forward for ABS to have a solid secure simple incremental backup with all security needed to protect data, from lost or intrusion.

We just started the project codename 'Securitech', at first it seems it would not require extensive code. We do envision a rather tedious test process. At the beginning we might add an extra application to decrypt data, later this could be integrated with ABS in a long awaited restore functionality.

a little side note into the encryption mode,

Rijndael is used for both classified and non-classified government information today and is seen as being practically crack-proof. While the algorithm is seen as being theoretically able to be cracked, it is not a realistic threat with today's level of technology. Brute force attacks against Rijndael have proven ineffective to date. Side channel attacks, which work to attack the implementations of the cipher rather than the cipher itself, have proven that a crack of Rijndael is possible but not a practical concern unless the crack is running on the same server as the encryption is happening on.

Stay tuned my friends!

P.S. If you would like to participate, we're in desperate need for testers. Thanks in advance.
