Hello,
I am working on a small application which stores sensitive crypted
information for a specific application.
I need to have the most reliable (possible with normal things) media
for storing those datas.
Which one of these media formats is more reliable and you would choose
it.
- Normal File
- Access Database
- A custom single or multiple file database
- Other
I will appereciate if people can give me some advice and opinions on
this.
By the way if this is not the suitable NG for this kind of questions
then let me know which NG is better so that I ask these types of
questions there.
Regards,

Oh, forgot to say that I mean I want to avoid losing files or having
them corrupted. (Not from security point).
As the info is sensitive and crypted I will lose the information if
files become corrupt.

1. Encrypt plain text in CTR mode.
2. Split up the cipher text in blocks of a suitable size, such as 1 KB.
3. Append a HMAC of the cipher text to each block.
4. Encode the cipher text blocks using Hamming Matrices or some other
error correcting codes.
 

limited to the above components and libraries.
Is it possible to show me a place to read about these phrases: CTR
Mode, HMAC, Hamming Matrices etc..
Regards,
Mac

Yes, it is. It has been onlineprogrammer.org. And I have not had enough
time to add new articles since about 2.5 years ago.
I will start adding new articles again if I can find some free time in
my schedule. Currently I am seriously in need of money to start my MSc
and I have no time left for free works such as this one.
