I have added the CC license to the bottom of the web version: https://pressfreedomfoundation.org/whitepapers/encryption-works-how-protect-your-privacy-age-nsa-surveillance And I've also uploaded the source LibreOffice ODT, so it'll be easier for people to create derivative works: https://pressfreedomfoundation.org/sites/default/files/encryption_works.odt On 07/02/2013 03:01 PM, Karl Fogel wrote: > Micah Lee writes: >> Freedom of the Press Foundation just published a whitepaper about how to >> protect your communications from NSA (or any other) surveillance. > > Micah, thanks (& nice job).

Re: [liberationtech] Encryption Works: How to Protect Your Privacy in the Age of NSA Surveillance
+1 for source. Since crypto is hard to get right, it could definitely do with more eyes fixing things and refining the explanations to be clearer. The cryptoparty handbook[1] shares a similar goal. I have various concerns about the quality of the content with little time to review it properly, which makes it all the more important for there to be a unified effort in producing this sort of document.

[liberationtech] Encryption Works: How to Protect Your Privacy in the Age of NSA Surveillance
Freedom of the Press Foundation just published a whitepaper about how to protect your communications from NSA (or any other) surveillance. https://pressfreedomfoundation.org/whitepapers/encryption-works-how-protect-your-privacy-age-nsa-surveillance The whole thing was inspired by this Edward Snowden quote: "Encryption works. Properly implemented strong crypto systems are one of the few things that you can rely on. Unfortunately, endpoint security is so terrifically weak that NSA can frequently find ways around it." Specifically we go over: * What crypto is and what makes it secure * What sort of software you can trust * Using Tor, and global adversaries * How OTR works and how to use it right * How PGP works and how to use it right * How Tails can help ensure high endpoint security -- Micah Lee @micahflee -- Too many emails?
