Use Amazon S3 to automatically back up your Mac
Hey sreitshamer, I was checking out your site for ARQ, and I couldn't find anything that mentioned file encryption. You do say an S3 account is encrypted with a password, but that seems like a semantic trick to make it seem like file encryption is going on (isn't every account anyone uses online encrypted with a password???). While you kinda ridicule other company's security (or lack of encryption), I'm not seeing any documentation of what makes ARQ secure.

Sorry the encryption approach isn't clear on the web site. I'll work on that.

Well, I had looked on the Arq site for info about your encryption method, and I saw absolutely no details (I see the details now: "Arq encrypts your data before it leaves your computer using AES-256, a government and industry standard," I suspect you added this since I posted my comment). I did see this critique of some other services: "And their security felt like a lot of handwaving instead of straight talk. They all said they encrypt my files, but there was no way for me to verify that since I couldn't access my stuff on their servers." So, without clear explanation of Arq's encryption method, while speculating about the encryption used by other companies, it seemed unfair (at best). But now that I see you specify the AES-256 encryption, I have no complaints. |
