I'd like to see a system which stores a random string in one country, and the XOR of your data with that string in another.

Then the US and China would both have to collaborate to actually be able to get at the real data.

Funny idea :-) For most cases I doubt the US and China would have any problems exchanging strings :-)

Or, you know, encryption.

[flexie]

A few months ago I would have thought this sounds paranoid; but does encryption secure us against NSA intrusion?

[zokier]

Snowden claims that encryption works, and I have no reason not to believe him on that. There definitely is significant amount of people doing crypto research who are not (directly) affiliated with NSA, I'd suspect that they all collectively can not either have missed any intentional backdoors or been bought off by NSA.

[venomsnake]

Yes, if you have nothing of interest for the NSA. Otherwise almost every encryption could be subverted with an access to the servers and soldering gun - you just touch the body of the guy that has knowledge of the keys on the (im)proper places with it.

[willurd]

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there aren't people out to get you.

Which seafile actually seems to have basic support for.
