-<p>Bulk surveillance violates our fundamental rights and makes free speech risky. But we're far from helpless to do something about it. This guide will teach you a basic surveillance self-defense skill: email encryption. Once you've finished, you'll be able to send and receive emails that are coded to make sure that a surveillance agent or thief can't intercept your email and read it.</p>

+<p>Even if you have nothing to hide, using encryption helps protect the privacy of people you communicate with, and makes life difficult for bulk surveillance systems. If you do have something important to hide, you're in good company; these are the same tools that Edward Snowden used to share his famous secrets about the NSA.</p>

<!--<p>You'll also be able to sign emails to show reliably that they are from you. Though the need for signing may be less obvious, you'll actually do it more often.</p>-->
- <p>This guide relies on software which is freely licensed; it's completely transparent and anyone can copy it or make their own version. This makes it safer from surveillance than proprietary software (like Windows). Learn more about free software at <a href="https://u.fsf.org/ys">fsf.org</a>.</p>

<h3><em>Step 1.b</em> Install the Enigmail plugin for your email program</h3>
<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>
<p>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>
<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>
- <p class="highlight">After creating your key, the Enigmail set-up wizard automatically uploaded it to a keyserver, an online computer that makes everyone's keys available through the Internet.</p>

<h3><em>Step 3.c</em> Receive a response</h3>
<p>When Adele receives your email, she will use her private key to decrypt it, then fetch your public key from a keyserver and use it to encrypt a response to you.</p>
- <p class="highlight">Since you encrypted this email with Adele's public key, Adele's private key is required to decrypt it. Adele is the only one with her private key, so no one except her — not even you — can decrypt it.</p>
+ <p class="notes">Since you encrypted this email with Adele's public key, Adele's private key is required to decrypt it. Adele is the only one with her private key, so no one except her — not even you — can decrypt it.</p>
<p>It may take two or three minutes for Adele to respond. In the meantime, you might want to skip ahead and check out the Use it well section of this guide.</p>
<p>When you receive Adele's email and open it, Enigmail will automatically detect that it is encrypted with your public key, and then it will use your private key to decrypt it.</p>
- <p class="highlight">Notice the bar that Enigmail shows you with information about the status of Adele's key.</p>

<p>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 GnuPG users, connected to each other by chains of trust expressed through signatures, into a giant Web. The more signatures a key has, and the more signatures it's signers' keys have, the more trustworthy that key is.</p>
+<p>People's public keys are usually identified by their key ID, which is a short string of digits like 9G6E29F7. You may also see them referred to by their key fingerprint, which is a slightly longer string of digits often prefaced with "0x," like 0x2C1008316F3E89B7.</p>

<!-- ~~~~~~~~~ a div for each step ~~~~~~~~~ -->
<p>Right click on Adele's public key and select Sign Key from the context menu.</p>
<p>In the window that pops up, select "I will not answer" and click OK.</p>
<p>In your email program's menu, go to OpenPGP → Key Management → Keyserver → Upload Public Keys and hit OK.</p>
- <p class="highlight">You've just effectively said "I trust that Adele's public key actually belongs to Adele." This doesn't mean much because Adele isn't a real person, but it's good practice.</p>

<h3>Make it part of your online identity</h3>
- <p>Start writing your key ID anywhere someone would see your email address. Add it to your email signature, so that anyone corresponding with you knows that they can donwload your public key and verify that it's the correct one. It's also good to post it on your media profile, blog, Website, or business card.</p><p>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 ID.</p>

<h3>Go to a keysigning party</h3>
- <p>Keysigning parties are social events designed to build the Web of Trust. Participants match each others' photo IDs and Key IDs, and then get out their laptops and sign each other's public keys. They're a great way to meet likeminded people and learn about new privacy tools, as well as build up people's trust in your key. Look for keysigning at tech events, hackerspaces and nerdy parties.</p>
