- 7. Start with 3 easy steps > Browsing > Searching > Mailing
- 9. 1. Step: Browsing Tor Browser http://torproject.org
- 10. 1. Step: Browsing Other advantages: > No Tracking – i.e. from Ad Networks > No logging of browserhistory as default > Secure chat and messaging
- 11. 1. Step: Browsing Other ways to cover digital footprints > Ghostery – Add on -> monitor tracking and decide : Website: https://www.ghostery.com/en/
- 12. 1. Step: Browsing Other ways to cover digital footprints > Disconnect – another add-on at http://disconnect.me
- 18. 3. Step: Mailing
- 19. 3. Step: Mailing Many possibilities but one of the best mailclients: > Thunderbird , open source by Mozilla Foundation https://mozilla.org/thunderbird > Good security in its architecture by default > Easy integration of PGP via add-on’s as > Enigmail - https://www.enigmail.net/
- 20. 3. Step: Mailing Advantage of Enigmail is i.e. > Easy generation of the essential keypair – as part of the application > After that it’s fairly simple to encrypt and decrypt > but isn’t there an easier way ?
- 21. 3. Step: Mailing Yes – webmail as > NeoMail – http://neomailbox.com > Countermail.com – http://countermail.com (subscription)
- 22. So much more to do > Storage – i.e. http://spideroak.com > Chatting and messaging i.e. https://crypto.cat/ > Mobile – i.e. for iOS Onion Browser > Fake identity generators http://fakenamegenerator.com Luckily there’s a lot of ressources on web about privacy

Notes de l'éditeur
- Twelve years ago: It was this award, driven by Privacy International. With shout out as written here: The surveillance society is upon us – systemcontrol is undermining democracy ! And few years later :
- I – and millions of others – are giving everything away on social networks, travelsystems, online competitions and the like Pernille Tranberg showed us how
- So I’m on to a huge dive now – away from companies, corporations, states and others eyes at me. It’s a difficult task, but not impossible , to gain territory in my private sphere and become :
- A privacy ninja - obviously not to assasinate anyone To stay private in our time – well, it requires a bit of Ninja-skills especially the ability to move without being noticed and defend yourself
- Taking back privacy is a huge task with requires a lot of initial work to begin with . Deciding what level of privacy YOU want. In this presentation I’ll focus on three areas: Secure browsing , searching the web and mailing. Three good areas to start out. Off course not enough: but at the end of this short introduction to becoming a privacy-Ninja
- The essentiel part for many of us. We’re browsing the net for information and creation of content – and everywhere we leave our digital footprints and marks. As we’ve heard earlier today
- One of the best ways of being private is the open source browser Tor: it makes it possible for you to surf the world wide web through the Tor Network of more than 5 thousand relays. In short: when you access a website: your data is being encrypted – including the destination IP-adresse – multiple times and the browser sends your data through different randomly chosen relays . That disguises where you come from and what you’re looking at.
- The Tor Browser is a modification of the open source browser, Firefox – and it’s privacy settings. And it’s free
- There’s other ways than using Tor Browser if you want to cover your footsteps. Let’s say : your fond of your Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer Your possibility lies in add-ons to your browser that blocks any attempts from websites to track and thereby store your visit and search on a site.
- Another service is disconnect. More visual appereance Example on this is that it visualizes the tracking . So Ghostery and Disonnect is two good add-ons to prevent tracking. Private browsing – i.e. Incognito –browsing is not enough. The Browser – i.e. Chrome – doesn’t store informations about your visits to at website. But the website does
- The second relatively easy step is to choose alternative search engines than Google, Bing or Yahoo. Ad networks, companies and of course; Google, Microsoft , Yahoo get’s to know alot about your from your searches – informations they can trade And they personalize the results for your preferences. Cool but with the downside of
- The Filter Bubble
- …that gives us blinders on . My google result is very different from yours. Again – luckily there’s good alternatives to Google and the like.
- Startpage uses Google as the engine but: They don’t register your IP-adress They don’t store informations about your computer, Operating system and search terms. French company – operating under European Union law
- DuckDuckGo – an american firm – as with Startpage They don’t register your IP-adress They don’t store informations about your computer, Operating system and search terms. DuckDuckGo searches through multiple sources – Wikipedia, Yahoo, Yandex , Wolfram Alpha and Bing.
- Third step is – by many that not tried it – considered as the difficult of the three steps , if you’ll dump Gmail, Livemail or Yahoo mail, because you don’t want to be datamined. The difficult part is – off course – though to be the whole encryption matter , using Pretty Good Privay or PGP,. You want to avoid being datamined and you want the possibility of encrypted mail. You can get the latter by Google – but not avoid the datamining part But in fact encryption isn’t that difficult
- Thunderbird – for all platforms Enigmail – for all platforms Search for Enigmail AND guide on web: you will find dusins of good guides to how to install and use it
- PGP – most important : you have got to generate a private key and a public key to send and receive AND read encrypted messages. Often this is the part that seems difficult to the not-that-tech-savy-user .
- Of course – Secure Browsing, searching and mailing will not totaly enhance your privacy You need to think about Storage Chat Messaging Mobility Fake Identity generators And so on and on Luckily there’s a lot of ressources online about privacy
