Since you don't know the persons ability that may have intent so you
can beg my pardon, I would not be so comfortable with what you say
above.

But again, it's not my computer and not my data so I'm not worried on
what I say or what you feel about what I say. Any sensitive data I
have (which really is not much) is not stored on a computer with
internet access. It is stored on a computer that is a stand alone off
the network, printed using a cabled printer and mailed certified or
equivelent.

I would be quite nervous having you as my security person with what
you say above being so complacent as technology AND methology changes
literally by the minute.

Yes, you are keeping out the casual inquirer / snooper / hacker just
like a lock does for a burglar looking for an easy job. Lock to hard
to pick??? They will move on to another lock easier to pick. You
just happened to have a quality lock so the casual hacker will move
on, but again, what you have is not unbreakable to a hacker intent
including decryption.

You show too much complacency in my opinion with your existing
security as you don't know what your foes are equipped with. Do
you??

Of course hackers are for big game sites, not the individual casual
user such as yourself unless of course you run something not above
board that others such as computer forensic specialists may have
interest (NOT SAYING you do, but a scenario).
