DIGITAL PRIVACY: IN A WORLD OF HIGH-TECH SURVEILLANCE
2023
Overview
How can ordinary people protect themselves from high-tech government busybodies? Since the internet touches almost every area of our public and private lives, internet privacy is an important guiding principle. Open-source software is licensed in such a way that its source code is available for anyone to view, audit, modify, and redistribute. Because the open-source community is so large and diverse, the likelihood of anything nefarious being hidden in the code is at or near zero. [...]given that the source codes of proprietary software are closely guarded secrets, it is impossible to be certain that such software does not contain back doors. Because of this, this writer recommends using only open-source software whenever possible. While the files are in this state, they are unreadable and are only reassembled into something readable by a key that is activated by the correct passphrase. Since unencrypted information is impossible to secure, this writer recommends encrypting everything you can.
