Encryption enhancements / privacy laws
-
Hi guys
I just wanted to push a few ideas for future releases.
I guess some already have been covered in the reddit forum but just to sum it up.Encryption
As I red you are using Twofish which is great I was wondering if you ever thought about the multi encryption that for example the program "blowfish advanced CS" is using. Which enables you not only to set more than one password but also use USB devices as a key eg Password1 + keyfile1 from USB + password2 + keyfile 2 from system to lock and unlock files.Privacy
Due to the different privacy laws in different countries in the future sia should maybe allow users to select from countries where they would like to store their data or select countries they would not store their data.

Hey, thanks for your suggestions. There a few more fundamental things that we will be working on before we get to the features stated above, but both the things you have mentioned are on our long-term roadmap in some form.
One thing that will help a lot is that, in the coming weeks, we will be expanding the API to let you directly choose which hosts you upload to and how you split your data. That means that you can programatically take a file, split it up, encrypt it using whatever scheme you want, and then send it to Sia over our API. That will allow full customizability.

ah does that mean that we can customise the amounts in which files will be spilt do i get that correctly?
and what exactly do you mean by "encrypt it by using whatever scheme you want"
the algorithm oder the key
