How do you ensure privacy and security on cloud platforms in an age of compromised encryption, backdoors, and AI-driven hacking threats to encryption and user confidentiality?

Let’s say you’ve created a film and need to securely upload the master copy to the cloud. You want to encrypt it before uploading to prevent unauthorized access. What program would you use to achieve this?

Now, let’s consider the worst-case scenario: the encryption software itself could have a backdoor, or perhaps you're worried about AI-driven hacking techniques targeting your encryption.

Additionally, imagine your film is being used to train AI databases or is exposed to potential brute-force attacks while stored in the cloud.

What steps would you take to ensure your content is protected against a wide range of threats and prevent it from being accessed, leaked, or released without your consent?

Thank you everyone so much for your responses. You’ve truly opened my eyes to so many aspects I hadn’t even considered before.

Your insights were not only thoughtful but also incredibly helpful. It’s rare to come across such comprehensive answers that cover so many angles, and I really appreciate the time and effort you took to share them.

Each of you has given me a lot to think about, and

I’m grateful for the depth of understanding you provided. Thanks again!

As a first step, I'd like to pick one of the programs to start with:

Cryptomator

gocryptfs (not so Windows-friendly)

GnuPG

VeraCrypt (slower than TrueCrypt, and since it’s offered as a replacement, it makes me suspicious, especially since TrueCrypt mysteriously vanished without providing any explanation. Some people believe VeraCrypt might have backdoors, whereas TrueCrypt’s abandonment perhaps didn’t provide any backdoors.)

TrueCrypt (I have used it occasionally on my Windows PC, although it is no longer updated)
