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>
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> Haz tus llaves</h2>
174 <p>Para usar el sistema GnuPG, necesitarás una llave pública y una llave privada (juntas conocidas como keypair). Cada una es una cadena larga de números y letras generada aleatoreamente que son únicos para ti. Tu llave pública y privada estan enlazadas entre si mediante una función matemática especial.</p>
175 <p>Tu llave pública no es similar a una llave física, debido a que es almacenada en un directorio en linea llamado keyserver. Las personas la descargan y la usan junto con GnuPG, para cifrar los correos electrónicos que te envian. Puedes pensar en el keyserver como en una guía telefónica, donde las personas que quieren enviarte un correo electrónico cifrado buscan tu llave pública.</p>
176 <p>Tu llave privada es más similar a una llave física, debido a que tu la guardas solo para ti (en tu computadora). Usas GnuPG y tu llave privada para descifrar correos electrónicos cifrados que otras personas te mandan.</p>

187 <p>En la segunda pantalla titulada "Signing", selecciona "No, quiero crear reglas por destinatario para los e-mails que necesitan ser firmados."</p>
188 <p>Usar las opciones por defecto hasta llegar a la pantalla titulada "Crear llave."</p>
189 <p>En la pantalla titulada "Crear llave", elegir una contraseña segura! Tu contraseña debería ser de al menos 12 caracteres, e incluir al menos una letra minúscula y una mayúscula, y al menos un numero o símbolo de puntuación. No olvides la contraseña, o todo este trabajo sera en vano!.</p>
190 <p class="notes">El programa tomara un pequeño tiempo mientras termina el siguiente paso, la pantalla de "Creación de llave". Mientras esperas, puedes hacer otras cosas con tu computadora, como mirar una película o navegar por la red. Cuanto mas utilices el equipo en este momento, mas rápida será la creación de la llave.</p>
191 <p>Cuando aparezca la pantalla de confirmación de OpenPGP , selecciona "Generar Certificado" y guárdalo en un lugar seguro en tu computadora (recomendamos crear una carpeta llamada "Certificado de Revocación" en tu carpeta home y guardarla ahí).</p>
192 <p>Aprenderás mas acerca de la revocación de certificado en la <a href="#section5">Sección 5</a>. El asistente te pedirá moverlo a un dispositivo externo, pero no es necesario en este momento.</p>

297 <p>Even if you encrypted your email, the subject line is not encrypted, so don't put private information there.

333 <h2><em>#4</em> Learn the Web of Trust</h2>
334 <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>
335
336 <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>
337
338 <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>
339
340 <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>

372 <h3><em>Important:</em> check people's identification before signing their keys</h3>
373 <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>

397 <h3>When should I encrypt?</h3>
398
399 <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>
400
401 <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>

413 <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>
414 <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>
415 <p><b>When using GnuPG, make a habit of glancing at that bar. The program will warn you there if you get an email encrypted with a key that can't be trusted.</b></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>. After you're done revoking, send an email to everyone with whom you usually use your key to make sure they know.</p>

439 <h3>Make your public key part of your online identity</h3>
440 <p> First add your public key fingerprint to your email signature, then compose an email to at least five of your friends, telling them you just set up GnuPG and mentioning your public key fingerprint. Link to this guide and ask them to join you. Don't forget that there's also an awesome <a href="infographic.html">infographic to share.</a></p>

(At the Free Software Foundation, we put ours on our <a href="https://fsf.org/about/staff">staff page</a>.) We need to get our culture to the point that we feel like something is missing when we see an email address without a public key fingerprint.</p>
