Privacy & Security
title: Summary
collapse: open
Review of different services used for managing privacy and security online.
style: number
Storage & Data
Moving away from iCloud and using a combination of SecureSafe, Sync and self hosted solutions like my Server Cloud enables to secure data in transit and in storage.
Communication
Securing Email & Communication take two main forms:
-
Encryption modules for generically available mailboxes (i.e. GPG protocol)
-
Dedicated services embedding encryption and privacy policies such as Tutanota
In addition, to protect mailboxes online, a email alias provider can be used. SimpleLogin, a French tech, allows this easily and gives the option to Server Alias which is implemented.
IM Apps
Element is a peer-to-peer application enabling encryption and bridging other communication apps & protocols. Other IM services based on Blockchain are currently emerging but are not mature enough to be used widely.
Phone number
[Crypton](https://crypton.sh/)
Internet
This section provides an overview on the management of various security features of the Internet: threats & viruses, ads/tracker, password management and 2F authentication.
AntiVirus
Two different ways to identify viruses:
Ad/Tracker Block
Using a DNS resolver embedding filters for blocking known ad/tracker traffic: NextDNS
Password Manager
Free and Open Source Software (FOSS): BitWarden For added security, I am self hosting an instance of a Server Tools#Password manager, an unofficial image of Bitwarden.
TOTP Manager
FOSS: Authy
Internet threats
Scan for signs of past Threats and Intrusions.
