What you need to know depends on the degree of security you feel that you want or need.
In this set of pages you will find information on Internet
anonymity, and how to protect your communications and files from
third parties, as well as tips on other important security aspects
that may arise through use of the Internet.
This series of pages is intended to help increase your awareness
of security and privacy issues. We would also like to debunk some of
the myths of computer use and the abilities of government and
corporate security agencies to access your information.
Computer security can come at the expense of usability to one
degree or another. It is up to you to determine what level of
security necessary is for your legal comfort and the potential
repercussions for you and others should that security be breached.
Good computer security is no substitute for good sense. Some
things were never meant to be written down regardless of how likely
it is that they could be recovered. If it must be written down,
computers can offer a higher level of security than keeping "hard
copies" around for the feds to find during a raid. Computers can also
offer a much more secure way to communicate than the phone system.
