@privacyguides One of my favorite #Encryption tools is #Veracrypt.

I wrote a short thread last night for #GlobalEncryptionDay that may interest people found here:

It's global encryption day!

Encryption is such a critical tool to protect your personal information, but in some places around the world it's under threat.

We need to remind people and especially our governments that we all need strong, encryption without backdoors to stay safe on the internet.

What's your favorite encryption tool? Let us know in the replies!

Today October 21st is
Global Encryption Day! 🔒🎉

This is a good time to remember that encryption is essential to online security and digital privacy.

Despite some governments pushing hard to weaken it, we must remind them that we all need encryption, and especially end-to-end encryption, to stay safe online 💚

Privacy is a human right
and end-to-end encryption is one of the best tool we have to enforce that right.

Signal selected Google Gmail as their email provider.

Consider asking for a public PGP encryption key if you are concerned about Google accessing the content of your message, this can provide end-to-end encryption of the message content but the metadata will be available to Google.

Signal: Please publish a key on your website.

Gmail PGP encryption options: https://mastodon.online/@blueghost/114748498901944225

On #GlobalEncryptionDay 🔒 we stand strong against encryption backdoors! 💪

We've just fought #ChatControl & we'll continue to fight wherever #encryption is under threat. But today we'd like to celebrate that 61% of all Tuta emails are sent end-to-end encrypted - a huge win for privacy. 🔥

3.) For those who aren't using #encrypted #CloudStorage, #Veracrypt is an easy way to create an encrypted container you could then upload to the cloud.

4.) For added security, even on an already encrypted system drive, you can place personal documents inside of a Veracrypt container you've created that can otherwise be inaccessible. Useful for an added layer of #security or on shared workstations depending on scenario.

Some things to note and some use cases for #Veracrypt:

1.) #LUKS provides a way to #encrypt #linux drives. Veracrypt is not the answer for your system drive, but additional drives can be fully #encrypted and mounted using it.

2.) #PlausibleDeniability is what #HiddenContainers offer by having one #password that opens the outer container where you can store files, with a secondary container accessible with a different password.

Worth adding here that the vast majority, if not all, Linux distributions have built in storage encryption, will run very well on older hardware (even some old Chromebooks) and the entire operating system comes to the user free of cost and free of surveillance.
