Also the passphrase should be strong.ĭisadvantage: Receiver must be familiar with it and use it.Įach user has a public / private key pair. It is recommendable to store it on a USB pen drive which can be removed and stored externally (not on the PC drives). Properly means the private key or secret must remain absolutely secret. The tools available are based on PGP, S/MIME.Īdvantages: Very secure if handled properly. The second tool is made to encrypt / decrypt personal messages. There is the original condition of the connection. Reminder: End node to destination is not tor encrypted. It is also useful to use it at public terminals.ĭisadvantage: Slow due to encryption / available bandwidth I personally have the browser bundle (Tor portable browser is a modified Firefox browser) on an USB pen drive and can plug it in wherever I want to use it.
BITMESSAGE VS LAVABIT INSTALL
The tool bundle is easy to install and to setup.

The first one makes it possible to browse anonymously.

I want to say one thing only: These people don’t get what this is all about, a basic democratic right which has been massively compromised…. So it has a touch of James Bond and some might come up with the idea that it is not needed and only people who have to hide something are applying such measures. The measures which one has to apply are basically the same the secret services are doing themselves. To have privacy without extra effort is not granted. The problem is that if one wants to do something to have more privacy one has to make an effort. I want to start this thread to introduce two different tools.
