The best part though is that the encryption keys are kept on your local machine(s) so SpiderOak staff cannot look at the content of your files at all.

From what I understand, this isn't quite right; the private and public keys are both uploaded to their servers, but the private key is password-protected. That makes more sense (you wouldn't want to permanently lose your data in a reformat by wiping the private key).

Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

edit: It's on their site, looks like that's basically right. Read under Encryption Specifications and User Authentication Process: https://spideroak.com/engineering_matters#encryption_specifications

It looks like it's more like PGP style where multiple keys can decrpyt the data to me, as when I installed it on a second PC it generated new keys but was able to retrieve the data. Not sure how this effects it exactly but that seems to be what I'm seeing.

It also doesn't cripple this old macbook that I'm using like dropbox did, that was a key detraction for dropbox to me, and was making me want to abandon it anyway, so it's perfect timing this came along.

No I think you're right. I'm fine with managing my own private keys anyways, but for this particular use I'm ok with the details of how it operates.

Edit: If it was important, and in dropbox, it was truecrypted and backed up locally as well as cloudularly. I imagine I would do the same with this service, but I'll be checking it out more thoroughly tomorrow.

Edit2:

Truecrypt could be friendlier for lazy people. I tend to use something like this cute vbscript :


code:
Option Explicit

Dim objFSO,DriveLetter,objShell,currentDir,strArchiveFile,strTrueCryptExe

set objShell = wscript.createObject("wscript.shell")

' Find the next available drive letter
set objFSO=CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
DriveLetter=Asc("c")
while objFSO.DriveExists(Chr(DriveLetter) & ":")
DriveLetter=DriveLetter+1
wend

' Convert numeric DriveLetter value to a character and append the colon
DriveLetter=Chr(DriveLetter) & ":"

' Find path for the script's current directory
CurrentDir = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetAbsolutePathName(".")

' Concatenate current directory string with filenames (and embed in chr(34) quotes)
strArchiveFile = chr(34) & CurrentDir & "\Crypt.tcf" & chr(34)
strTrueCryptExe = chr(34) & CurrentDir & "\TrueCrypt_portable\TrueCrypt.exe" & chr(34)

' Run Truecrypt.exe with command line switches
objShell.Run strTrueCryptExe & " /v " & strArchiveFile & " /l " & DriveLetter & " /a /q /m ts", 0, true

' Access content
objShell.Run DriveLetter & "\NOTHING_IMPORTANT_HERE.xls", 3, true

'Dismount truecrypt volume when finished
objShell.Run strTrueCryptExe & " /d /q", 0, true

' Confirm truecrypt volume was dismounted
If objFSO.FolderExists(DriveLetter) Then
 msgbox "The encrypted volume was NOT successfully dismounted."
End If

Cross-posting this from the dropbox thread, for those of you who are interested in the Spideroak security structure:

kapinga posted:

Also, if Spideroak is not straight up lying they cannot possibly turn your data over to the FBI, no matter how much they want to. Assuming your password is strong, your data is safe. (The one caveat to this is if you enter in your password on their website, for obvious reasons. They even recommend you don't do that if at all possible). Here's the nitty gritty. I admit I never did a network inspection while creating a wireshark account, but I also don't think they have a reason to lie about this.

In short, choose a strong password!
