WikiLeaks Posts Mysterious ‘Insurance’ File | Threat Level | Wired.com
In the wake of strong U.S. government statements condemning WikiLeaks’ recent publishing of 77,000 Afghan War documents, the secret-spilling site has posted a mysterious encrypted file labeled “insurance.” The huge file, posted on the Afghan War page at the WikiLeaks site, is 1.4 GB and is encrypted with AES256. The file’s size dwarfs the size of all the other files on the page combined.
Ongoing non-secret discussion of information security, a/k/a information secrecy, a/k/a information perfidy (Cryptome was established to publish materials on this topic).

Wikileaks Afghan War Diary Mirror
On Thursday, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange told a gathering in London that the secret-spilling website is moving ahead with plans to publish the remaining 15,000 records from the Afghan war logs, despite a demand from the Pentagon that WikiLeaks “return” its entire cache of published and unpublished classified U.S. documents. Last month, WikiLeaks released 77,000 documents out of 92,000, temporarily holding back 15,000 records at the urging of newspapers that had been provided an advance copy of the entire database. On Thursday, Assange said his organization has now gone through about half of the remaining records, redacting the names of Afghan informants. That suggests the final release could still be weeks away.

on Security: WikiLeaks Insurance File
In the wake of strong U.S. government statements condemning WikiLeaks' recent publishing of 77,000 Afghan War documents, the secret-spilling site has posted a mysterious encrypted file labeled "insurance." The huge file, posted on the Afghan War page at the WikiLeaks site, is 1.4 GB and is encrypted with AES256. The file's size dwarfs the size of all the other files on the page combined. The file has also been posted on a torrent download site. In any case, some of the details might be wrong.
Le fichier "pèse" 1,4 giga-octets, soit environ le quart d'un DVD. Il est compressé et crypté. Il s'appelle "assurance", et est apparu sur la page consacrée aux "journaux de guerre afghans" de Wikileaks , le 30 juillet. Et jusqu'ici, personne - en dehors des administrateurs du site - ne sait ce qu'il contient. Lundi 26 juillet, Wikileaks, spécialisé dans la publication anonyme de documents secrets, avait rendu publics plus de 70 000 rapports de l' arm ée américaine en Afghanistan , un ensemble de documents baptisé "journaux de guerre afghans".
