 100 Bulk surveillance violates our fundamental rights and makes free speech
 101 risky. This guide will teach you a basic surveillance self-defense skill: email
 102 encryption. Once you've finished, you'll be able to send and receive emails
 103 that are scrambled to make sure a surveillance agent or thief intercepting
 104 your email can't read them. All you need is a computer with an Internet
 105 connection, an email account, and about forty minutes.</p>
 106
 107 <p>Even if you have nothing to hide, using encryption helps protect the privacy
 108 of people you communicate with, and makes life difficult for bulk surveillance
 109 systems. If you do have something important to hide, you're in good company;
 110 these are the same tools that whistleblowers use to protect their identities
 111 while shining light on human rights abuses, corruption and other crimes.</p>
 112
 113 <p>In addition to using encryption, standing up
 114 to surveillance requires fighting politically for a <a
 115 href="http://gnu.org/philosophy/surveillance-vs-democracy.html">reduction
 116 in the amount of data collected on us</a>, but the essential first step is
 117 to protect yourself and make surveillance of your communication as difficult
 118 as possible. This guide helps you do that. It is designed for beginners, but
 119 if you already know the basics of GnuPG or are an experienced free software
 120 user, you'll enjoy the advanced tips and the <a href="workshops.html">guide
 121 to teaching your friends</a>.</p>

 135 href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">freely licensed</a>;
 136 it's completely transparent and anyone can copy it or make their

 138 software (like Windows). Learn more about free software at <a

 140
 141 <p>Most GNU/Linux operating systems come with GnuPG installed on them,
 142 so you don't have to download it. Before configuring GnuPG though, you'll
 143 need the IceDove desktop email program installed on your computer. Most
 144 GNU/Linux distributions have IceDove installed already, though it may be
 145 under the alternate name "Thunderbird." Email programs are another way to
 146 access the same email accounts you can access in a browser (like Gmail),
 147 but provide extra features.</p>

 169
 170 <p>Look for the letters SSL, TLS, or STARTTLS to the right of the servers
 171 when you're setting up your account. If you don't see them, you will still
 172 be able to use encryption, but this means that the people running your email
 173 system are running behind the industry standard in protecting your security
 174 and privacy. We recommend that you send them a friendly email asking them
 175 to enable SSL, TLS, or STARTTLS for your email server. They will know what
 176 you're talking about, so it's worth making the request even if you aren't
 177 an expert on these security systems.</p>

 267 <h2><em>#2</em> Make your keys</h2>
 268
 269 <p>To use the GnuPG system, you'll need a public key and a private key (known
 270 together as a keypair). Each is a long string of randomly generated numbers
 271 and letters that are unique to you. Your public and private keys are linked
 272 together by a special mathematical function.</p>
 273
 274 <p>Your public key isn't like a physical key, because it's stored in the open
 275 in an online directory called a keyserver. People download it and use it,
 276 along with GnuPG, to encrypt emails they send to you. You can think of the
 277 keyserver as a phonebook; people who want to send you encrypted email can
 278 look up your public key.</p>
 279
 280 <p>Your private key is more like a physical key, because you keep it to
 281 yourself (on your computer). You use GnuPG and your private key together to
 282 descramble encrypted emails other people send to you. <span style="font-weight:
 283 bold;">You should never share you private key with anyone, under any
 284 circumstances.</span></p>
 285
 286 <p>In addition to encryption and decryption, you can also use these keys to
 287 sign messages and check the authenticity of other people's signatures. We'll
 288 discuss this more in the next section.</p>

 306 Enigmail &rarr; Setup Wizard from your email program's menu. You don't need
 307 to read the text in the window that pops up unless you'd like to, but it's
 308 good to read the text on the later screens of the wizard. Click Next with
 309 the default options selected, except in these instances, which are listed
 310 in the order they appear:</p>
 311
 312 <ul>
 313 <li>On the screen titled "Encryption," select "Encrypt all of my messages
 314 by default, because privacy is critical to me."</li>
 315
 316 <li>On the screen titled "Signing," select "Don't sign my messages by
 317 default."</li>
 318
 319 <li>On the screen titled "Key Selection," select "I want to create a new
 320 key pair for signing and encrypting my email."</li>
 321
 322 <li>On the screen titled "Create Key," pick a strong password! You can
 323 do it manually, or you can use the Diceware method. Doing it manually
 324 is faster but not as secure. Using Diceware takes longer and requires
 325 dice, but creates a password that is much harder for attackers to figure
 326 out. To use it, read the section "Make a secure passphrase with Diceware" in <a
 327 href="https://theintercept.com/2015/03/26/passphrases-can-memorize-attackers-cant-guess/">
 328 this article</a> by Micah Lee.</li>
 329 </ul>
 330
 331 <p>If you'd like to pick a password manually, come up with something
 332 you can remember which is at least twelve characters long, and includes
 333 at least one lower case and upper case letter and at least one number or
 334 punctuation symbol. Never pick a password you've used elsewhere. Don't use
 335 any recognizable patterns, such as birthdays, telephone numbers, pets' names,
 336 song lyrics, quotes from books, and so on.</p>
 337
 338 <p class="notes">The program will take a little while to finish the next
 339 step, the "Key Creation" screen. While you wait, do something else with your
 340 computer, like watching a movie or browsing the Web. The more you use the
 341 computer at this point, the faster the key creation will go.</p>
 342
 343 <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">When the "Key Generation Completed" screen
 344 pops up, select Generate Certificate and choose to save it in a safe place on
 345 your computer (we recommend making a folder called "Revocation Certificate"
 346 in your home folder and keeping it there). This step is essential for your
 347 email self-defense, as you'll learn more about in <a href="#section5">Section

 486
 487 <p>In general, the terms GnuPG, GPG, GNU Privacy Guard, OpenPGP and PGP
 488 are used interchangeably. Technically, OpenPGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is the
 489 encryption standard, and GNU Privacy Guard (often shortened to GPG or GnuPG)
 490 is the program that implements the standard. Enigmail is a plug-in program
 491 for your email program that provides an interface for GnuPG.</p>

 527
 528 <p>This is a special step that you won't have to do when corresponding
 529 with real people. In your email program's menu, go to Enigmail &rarr; Key
 530 Management. You should see your key in the list that pops up. Right click
 531 on your key and select Send Public Keys by Email. This will create a new
 532 draft message, as if you had just hit the Write button.</p>
 533
 534 <p>Address the message to <a
 535 href="mailto:edward-en@fsf.org">edward-en@fsf.org</a>. Put at least one word
 536 (whatever you want) in the subject and body of the email. Don't send yet.</p>
 537
 538 <p>The lock icon in the top left should be yellow, meaning encryption is
 539 turned on. We want this first special message to be unencrypted, so
 540 click the icon once to turn it off. The lock should become grey, with a
 541 blue dot on it (to alert you that the setting has been changed from the
 542 default). Once encryption is off, hit Send.</p>
 543
 544 <p class="notes">It may take two or three minutes for Edward to
 545 respond. In the meantime, you might want to skip ahead and check out the <a
 546 href="#section5">Use it Well</a> section of this guide. Once he's responded,
 547 head to the next step. From here on, you'll be doing just the same thing as
 548 when corresponding with a real person.</p>

 564 "Encryption test" or something similar and write something in the body.</p>

 572 <p>Click Send. Enigmail will pop up a window that says "Recipients not valid,
 573 not trusted or not found."</p>
 574
 575 <p>To encrypt an email to Edward, you need his public key, so now you'll have
 576 Enigmail download it from a keyserver. Click Download Missing Keys and use
 577 the default in the pop-up that asks you to choose a keyserver. Once it finds
 578 keys, check the first one (Key ID starting with C), then select ok. Select
 579 ok in the next pop-up.</p>
 580
 581 <p>Now you are back at the "Recipients not valid, not trusted or not found"
 582 screen. Check the box in front of Edward's key and click Send.</p>

 641
 642 <p>Even if you encrypt your email, the subject line is not encrypted, so
 643 don't put private information there. The sending and receiving addresses
 644 aren't encrypted either, so a surveillance system can still figure out who
 645 you're communicating with. Also, surveillance agents will know that you're
 646 using GnuPG, even if they can't figure out what you're saying. When you
 647 send attachments, Enigmail will give you the choice to encrypt them or not,
 648 independent of the actual email.</p>
 649
 650 <p>For greater security against potential attacks, you can turn off
 651 HTML. Instead, you can render the message body as plain text. In order
 652 to do this in Thunderbird, go to View &gt; Message Body As &gt; Plain

 688 <p>GnuPG includes a way for you to sign messages and files, verifying that
 689 they came from you and that they weren't tampered with along the way. These
 690 signatures are stronger than their pen-and-paper cousins -- they're impossible
 691 to forge, because they're impossible to create without your private key
 692 (another reason to keep your private key safe).</p>
 693
 694 <p>You can sign messages to anyone, so it's a great way to make people
 695 aware that you use GnuPG and that they can communicate with you securely. If
 696 they don't have GnuPG, they will be able to read your message and see your
 697 signature. If they do have GnuPG, they'll also be able to verify that your
 698 signature is authentic.</p>
 699
 700 <p>To sign an email to Edward, compose any message to him and click the
 701 pencil icon next to the lock icon so that it turns gold. If you sign a
 702 message, GnuPG may ask you for your password before it sends the message,
 703 because it needs to unlock your private key for signing.</p>

 740 <h2><em>#4</em> Learn the Web of Trust</h2>
 741
 742 <p>Email encryption is a powerful technology, but it has a weakness;
 743 it requires a way to verify that a person's public key is actually
 744 theirs. Otherwise, there would be no way to stop an attacker from making
 745 an email address with your friend's name, creating keys to go with it and
 746 impersonating your friend. That's why the free software programmers that
 747 developed email encryption created keysigning and the Web of Trust.</p>
 748
 749 <p>When you sign someone's key, you are publicly saying that you've verified
 750 that it belongs to them and not someone else.</p>
 751
 752 <p>Signing keys and signing messages use the same type of mathematical
 753 operation, but they carry very different implications. It's a good practice
 754 to generally sign your email, but if you casually sign people's keys, you
 755 may accidently end up vouching for the identity of an imposter.</p>
 756
 757 <p>People who use your public key can see who has signed it. Once you've
 758 used GnuPG for a long time, your key may have hundreds of signatures. You
 759 can consider a key to be more trustworthy if it has many signatures from
 760 people that you trust. The Web of Trust is a constellation of GnuPG users,
 761 connected to each other by chains of trust expressed through signatures.</p>

 815 <h3>Identifying keys: Fingerprints and IDs</h3>
 816
 817 <p>People's public keys are usually identified by their key fingerprint,
 818 which is a string of digits like F357AA1A5B1FA42CFD9FE52A9FF2194CC09A61E8
 819 (for Edward's key). You can see the fingerprint for your public key, and
 820 other public keys saved on your computer, by going to Enigmail &rarr; Key
 821 Management in your email program's menu, then right clicking on the key
 822 and choosing Key Properties. It's good practice to share your fingerprint
 823 wherever you share your email address, so that people can double-check that
 824 they have the correct public key when they download yours from a keyserver.</p>
 825
 826 <p class="notes">You may also see public keys referred to by a shorter
 827 key ID. This key ID is visible directly from the Key Management
 828 window. These eight character key IDs were previously used for
 829 identification, which used to be safe, but is no longer reliable. You
 830 need to check the full fingerprint as part of verifying you have the
 831 correct key for the person you are trying to contact. Spoofing, in
 832 which someone intentionally generates a key with a fingerprint whose
 833 final eight characters are the same as another, is unfortunately
 834 common.</p>

 843 <h3><em>Important:</em> What to consider when signing keys</h3>
 844
 845 <p>Before signing a person's key, you need to be confident that it actually
 846 belongs to them, and that they are who they say they are. Ideally, this
 847 confidence comes from having interactions and conversations with them over
 848 time, and witnessing interactions between them and others. Whenever signing
 849 a key, ask to see the full public key fingerprint, and not just the shorter
 850 key ID. If you feel it's important to sign the key of someone you've just
 851 met, also ask them to show you their government identification, and make
 852 sure the name on the ID matches the name on the public key. In Enigmail,
 853 answer honestly in the window that pops up and asks "How carefully have you
 854 verified that the key you are about to sign actually belongs to the person(s)
 855 named above?"</p>

 910
 911 <p>The more you can encrypt your messages, the better. If you only encrypt
 912 emails occasionally, each encrypted message could raise a red flag for
 913 surveillance systems. If all or most of your email is encrypted, people
 914 doing surveillance won't know where to start. That's not to say that only
 915 encrypting some of your email isn't helpful -- it's a great start and it
 916 makes bulk surveillance more difficult.</p>
 917
 918 <p>Unless you don't want to reveal your own identity (which requires other
 919 protective measures), there's no reason not to sign every message, whether or
 920 not you are encrypting. In addition to allowing those with GnuPG to verify
 921 that the message came from you, signing is a non-intrusive way to remind
 922 everyone that you use GnuPG and show support for secure communication. If you
 923 often send signed messages to people that aren't familiar with GnuPG, it's
 924 nice to also include a link to this guide in your standard email signature
 925 (the text kind, not the cryptographic kind).</p>

 965 <p>Remember when you created your keys and saved the revocation certificate
 966 that GnuPG made? It's time to copy that certificate onto the safest digital
 967 storage that you have -- the ideal thing is a flash drive, disk, or hard
 968 drive stored in a safe place in your home, not on a device you carry with
 969 you regularly.</p>
 970
 971 <p>If your private key ever gets lost or stolen, you'll need this certificate
 972 file to let people know that you are no longer using that keypair.</p>

 981 <h3><em>Important:</em> act swiftly if someone gets your private key</h3>
 982
 983 <p>If you lose your private key or someone else gets ahold
 984 of it (say, by stealing or cracking your computer), it's
 985 important to revoke it immediately before someone else uses
 986 it to read your encrypted email or forge your signature. This
 987 guide doesn't cover how to revoke a key, but you can follow these <a
 988 href="https://www.hackdiary.com/2004/01/18/revoking-a-gpg-key/">instructions</a>.
 989 After you're done revoking, make a new key and send an email to everyone
 990 with whom you usually use your key to make sure they know, including a copy
 991 of your new key.</p>

1001
1002 <p>You can use Enigmail's <a
1003 href="https://www.enigmail.net/documentation/keyman.php">key management
1004 window</a> to import and export keys. If you want to be able to read
1005 your encrypted email on a different computer, you will need to export
1006 your secret key from here. Be warned, if you transfer the key without <a
1007 href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemsOnRemovableStorage">encrypting</a>
1008 the drive it's on the transfer will be dramatically less secure.</p>

1017 <h3>Webmail and GnuPG</h3>
1018
1019 <p>When you use a web browser to access your email, you're using webmail,
1020 an email program stored on a distant website. Unlike webmail, your desktop
1021 email program runs on your own computer. Although webmail can't decrypt
1022 encrypted email, it will still display it in its encrypted form. If you
1023 primarily use webmail, you'll know to open your email client when you receive
1024 a scrambled email.</p>

1033 <h3>Make your public key part of your online identity</h3>
1034
1035 <p> First add your public key fingerprint to your email signature, then
1036 compose an email to at least five of your friends, telling them you just
1037 set up GnuPG and mentioning your public key fingerprint. Link to this guide
1038 and ask them to join you. Don't forget that there's also an awesome <a
1039 href="infographic.html">infographic to share.</a></p>
1040
1041 <p class="notes">Start writing your public key fingerprint anywhere someone
1042 would see your email address: your social media profiles, blog, Website,
1043 or business card. (At the Free Software Foundation, we put ours on our
1044 <a href="https://fsf.org/about/staff">staff page</a>.) We need to get our
1045 culture to the point that we feel like something is missing when we see an
1046 email address without a public key fingerprint.</p>
