Ask HN: How do I store something confidential (completely encrypted) online

2 points by meetneps 7 years ago | 2 comments

Would like to know are there any websites where i can store my confidential info, completely encrypted with PKI infrastructure. So that its really safe only I can ready. Or in other words is PKI infrastructure fool proof. If not what are other means to keep a confidential info on the cloud. I am very well aware of offline backup like encrypted HDD, PenDrive etc.

Why do you need a PKI to encrypt and store data? As far as I know, you need a PKI when working with other people/with a web of trust.

For just a backup, I think the easiest way is just to encrypt offline and put the encrypted file online. And keep the keys either offline or in another online storage.

encrypt data locally, dont put unencrypted data online and keep everything you need to decrypt your data somewhere offline (safe deposit box,etc).
