83 La vigilancia en masa viola los derechos fundamentales y pone en riesgo la libertad de expresión. Esta guía te eseñara la habilidad básica de auto-defensa contra la vigilancia: cifrado de correo electrónico. Una vez la hayas finalizado, seras capaz de enviar y recibir correos electrónicos que estan codificados para asegurarse de que un agente de vigilancia o un ladrón que intercepte tu correo electrónico no pueda leerlo. Todo lo que necesitas es una computadora con conexión a Internet, una cuenta de correo electrónico, y aproximadamente media hora.
84 </p>
85 <p>
86 Incluso si no tienes nada que esconder, usar cifrado ayuda a proteger la privacidad de personas con las que te comunicas, y hace la vida díficil a los sistemas de vigilancia en masa. Si tienes algo importante que esconder, entonces estas en buena compañia; estas son las mismas herramientas que Edward Snowden uso para compartir sus famosos secretos sobre la NSA.
87 </p>
88 <p>
08d46c96 89 Adicionalmente a usar cifrado, hacer frente a la vigilancia necesita lucha política para <a href="http://gnu.org/philosophy/surveillance-vs-democracy.html">la reducción de la cantidad de datos recolectados sobre nosotros</a>, pero esencialmente el primer paso es protegerse a uno mismo y hacer que la vigilancia de tus comunicaciones lo más díficil posible. ¡Empecemos!

104 Esta guía usa software que esta licenciado libremente; es completamente transparente y que cualquier persona puede copiar, o hacer su propia versión. Esto hace que sea más seguro contra la vigilancia que el software propietario (como Windows). Aprende más sobre software libre en <a href="https://u.fsf.org/ys">fsf.org</a>.

107 La mayoría de Sistemas Operativos GNU/Linux vienen con GnuPG ya instalado, por lo que no es necesario que lo descargues. De todas maneras antes de configurar GnuPG necesitarás un programa de correo electrónico de escritorio instalado en tu computadora. La mayoría de las distribuciones GNU/Linux tienen una versión libre del programa Thunderbird disponible para instalar. This guide will work with them, in addition to Thunderbird itself. Los programas de correo electrónico son otra manera de acceder a las mismas cuentas de correo electrónico a las que accedes usando un navegador (como Gmail), pero proporcionan características adicionales.

173 <h2><em>#2</em> Make your keys</h2>
174 <p>To use the GnuPG system, you'll need a public key and a private key (known together as a keypair). Each is a long string of randomly generated numbers and letters that are unique to you. Your public and private keys are linked together by a special mathematical function.</p>
175
176<p>Your public key isn't like a physical key, because it's stored in the open in an online directory called a keyserver. People download it and use it, along with GnuPG, to encrypt emails they send to you. You can think of the keyserver as phonebook, where people who want to send you an encrypted email look up your public key.</p>
177
178<p>Your private key is more like a physical key, because you keep it to yourself (on your computer). You use GnuPG and your private key to decode encrypted emails other people send to you.</p>

188 <p>In your email program's menu, select OpenPGP &rarr; Setup Wizard. You don't need to read the text in the window that pops up unless you'd like to, but it's good to read the text on the later screens of the wizard.</p>
189 <p>On the second screen, titled "Signing," select "No, I want to create per-recipient rules for emails that need to be signed."</p>
190 <p>Use the default options until you reach the screen titled "Create Key".</p>
191 <p>On the screen titled "Create Key," pick a strong password! Your password should be at least 12 characters and include at least one lower case and upper case letter and at least one number or punctuation symbol. Don't forget the password, or all this work will be wasted!</p>
192 <p class="notes">The program will take a little while to finish the next step, the "Key Creation" screen. While you wait, do something else with your computer, like watching a movie or browsing the Web. The more you use the computer at this point, the faster the key creation will go.</p>
193 <p>When the OpenPGP Confirm screen pops up, select Generate Certificate and choose to save it in a safe place on your computer (we recommend making a folder called "Revocation Certificate" in your home folder and keeping it there. You'll learn more about the revocation certificate in <a href="#section5">Section 5</a>. The setup wizard will ask you to move it onto an external device, but that isn't necessary at this moment.</p>

Select ok in the next pop-up.</p>

336 <h2><em>#4</em> Learn the Web of Trust</h2>
337 <p>Email encryption is a powerful technology, but it has a weakness; it requires a way to verify that a person's public key is actually theirs. Otherwise, there would be no way to stop an attacker from making an email address with your friend's name, creating keys to go with it and impersonating your friend. That's why the free software programmers that developed email encryption created keysigning and the Web of Trust.</p>
338
339<p>When you sign someone's key, you are publicly saying that you trust that it does belong to them and not an impostor. People who use your public key can see the number of signatures it has. Once you've used GnuPG for a long time, you may have hundreds of signatures. The Web of Trust is the constellation of all GnuPG users, connected to each other by chains of trust expressed through signatures, into a giant network. The more signatures a key has, and the more signatures its signers' keys have, the more trustworthy that key is.</p>
340
341<p>People's public keys are usually identified by their key fingerprint, which is a string of digits like DD878C06E8C2BEDDD4A440D3E573346992AB3FF7 (for Adele's key). You can see the fingerprint for your public key, and other public keys saved on your computer, by going to OpenPGP &rarr; Key Management in your email program's menu, then right clicking on the key and choosing Key Properties. It's good practice to share your fingerprint wherever you share your email address, so that so that people can double-check that they have the correct public key when they download yours from a keyserver.</p>
342
343<p class="notes">You may also see public keys referred to by their key ID, which is simply the last 8 digits of the fingerprint, like 92AB3FF7 for Adele. The key ID is visible directly from the Key Management Window. This key ID is like a person's first name (it is a useful shorthand but may not be unique to a given key), whereas the fingerprint actually identifies the key uniquely without the possibility of confusion. If you only have the key ID, you can still look up the key (as well as its fingerprint), like you did in Step 3, but if multiple options appear, you'll need the fingerprint of the person to are trying to communicate to verify which one to use.</p>

376 <p>Before signing a real person's key, always make sure it actually belongs to them, and that they are who they say they are. Ask them to show you their ID (unless you trust them very highly) and their public key fingerprint -- not just the shorter public key ID, which could refer to another key as well. In Enigmail, answer honestly in the window that pops up and asks "How carefully have you verified that the key you are about to sign actually belongs to the person(s) named above?".</p>

400 <h3>When should I encrypt?</h3>
401
402 <p>The more you can encrypt your messages, the better. This is because, if you only encrypt emails occasionally, each encrypted message could raise a red flag for surveillance systems. If all or most of your email is encrypted, people doing surveillance won't know where to start.</p>
403
404<p>That's not to say that only encrypting some of your email isn't helpful -- it's a great start and it makes bulk surveillance more difficult.</p>

416 <p>GnuPG makes email safer, but it's still important to watch out for invalid keys, which might have fallen into the wrong hands. Email encrypted with invalid keys might be readable by surveillance programs.</p>
417 <p>In your email program, go back to the second email that Adele sent you. Because Adele encrypted it with your public key, it will have a message from OpenPGP at the top, which most likely says "OpenPGP: Part of this message encrypted."</p>

This guide doesn't cover how to revoke a key, but you can follow the <a href="https://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html#AEN305">instructions on the GnuPG site</a>.
