Safe Sex and Safe Chat

Filed under: Cybersecurity,Encryption,Security — Patrick Durusau @ 4:58 pm

Matthew Haeck repeats the old dodge for bothering with encrypted communications:

If I’m doing nothing wrong, it doesn’t matter

in Secure Messaging Apps for Encrypted Chat.

Most of us, outside of subscribers to the Linux Journal, never imagine that we are under surveillance by government agencies. And we may not be.

But, that doesn’t mean our friends and acquaintances aren’t under surveillance by domestic and foreign governments, corporations and others.

You should think of encrypted communications, chat in this case, just like you do safe sex.

It not only protects yourself, but your present partner and all future partners the both of you may have.

The same is true for use of encrypted chat. The immediate benefit is for your and your partner, but secure chat, denies the government and others, the use of your chats against unknown future chat partners.

If you practice safe sex, practice safe chat.

Secure Messaging Apps for Encrypted Chat is a great start towards practicing safe chat.
