encryption

so let's say you've got a project you want to be successful, and it's likely to run into people who are going to try to stop it.

of course you could broadcast your intentions and how you are going to do things and then deal with the fallout as the opposition turns up at critical points in your project's development to hinder you.

A much simpler way is not to tell them what's happening. This is what most people do, however you've got to tell the people involved in your project what's going on, where to meet, what to do, if they have any problems etc... and to avoid unnecessary friction you have to do it in a way which outsiders won't be able to intercept.

A secure form of communication is needed. Encryption is Your Friend.

===================================================

Let's not mince words. There are a few things essential for any kind of effective resistance movement.

• Lateral communication
• organisation
• speed
• surprise
• secrecy

Encrypting your communications achieves one directly and enables the rest. By all means work on stuff in normal form, but if you create or come across anything sensitive save it in strong encrypted form and only transport it to other people in that form.

As standard you should encrypt:

• emails
• attachments
• documents
• downloads
• EVERYTHING connected to what you've done in the past.
• ANYTHING connected to what you MAY do in the future.

Always use the strongest encryption possible. I would recommend PGP or GPGP with a public/private key pair. These run on open source systems which rely on pure mathematics for their strength, and consequently are highly trusted. The strongest key pair would take thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands of years with a supercomputer to break. The advent of Grid technologies does make some key's more easily crackable through brute force testing, however 2056 and higher strength keys should still be adequate for most tasks in the forseeable future.

Remember privacy doesn't licence you to break the law, nor to act in an immoral fashion. It simply gives you more flexibility and freedom to carry out your plans without packet sniffers, malware, and spyware to see what you're doing.

There are encryption tutorials all over the net. Go find a good one and look over it. I'm not going to do your work for you.

Good luck!
