Why does everyone imagine that the "crypto nerd" will be a "him"? This gendered language is simply reinforcing the sexist stereotypes that serve as the cultural foundation for rape and other symptoms of this sexist worldview. I'm changing this to "him or her"... {{unsigned|Vctr}} | Why does everyone imagine that the "crypto nerd" will be a "him"?

:BTW "him or her" leaves out gender-nonconforming people and is also is unnecessarily clunky - "they" is usually a better choice. It's great that you want to reduce the use of gendered language on the internet, though. Just be careful not to go overboard; there's a difference between identification and unnecessarily gendered language.

What would happen if the owner of the computer used deniable cryptography with some decoy message? -- [[Special:Contributions/173.245.48.141|173.245.48.141]] 08:35, 15 July 2015 (UTC) | What would happen if the owner of the computer used deniable cryptography with some decoy message? -- [[Special:Contributions/173.245.48.141|173.245.48.141]] 08:35, 15 July 2015 (UTC) | ||
| β | :As pointed out by the wikipedia article, deniable cryptography might either fool the attackers, or make them keep beating you even after you give them the real password. [[Special:Contributions/198.41.235.179|198.41.235.179]] 22:48, 13 October 2015 (UTC) | + | |

Surely if he's encrypting his PC, he should be using something like 256-bit AES/Rijndael, as it's more secure?
