Why Won't Johnny Encrypt?

Published: 01 January 2015 Publication History

Abstract

Very little Internet communication is truly private, even if it is encrypted. The original concept for email privacy dates back a few decades and was meant to provide end-to-end privacy. Today, almost no one uses the software that provides this strong guarantee of resistance to massive surveillance. Why not? What software is there, and how can users take advantage of it?
