Feature Request: Completely Obfuscated Encrypted Backups #1684
Description
Description
I would like to have the option to create encrypted backups that are completely obfuscated. This means that the backup files should not be recognizable as Aegis backups when uploaded online. Currently, Aegis backups are stored in a specific format that can be identified, which might raise security concerns when storing them in cloud services or sharing them between devices.
Solution
Implement a feature that allows users to create encrypted backups that are obfuscated in such a way that they do not retain any identifiable markers of being Aegis backups. This could involve:
- Adding a new option during the backup creation process
- Using a generic file format that does not reveal the source application
- Implementing additional layers of encryption or encoding to mask the backup's true nature
Why This Feature is Important:
- Enhanced Security: By making backups unrecognizable as Aegis backups, users can store them in cloud services or share them between devices without the risk of them being targeted specifically because they contain Aegis data.
- Privacy: Users who need to maintain privacy or confidentiality can ensure that their backups do not reveal the use of Aegis to third parties.
Potential Implementation Details
- Introduce a new setting in the backup options menu
- Utilize existing encryption methods but add additional layers of obfuscation
- Ensure that the backup remains fully functional when restored
