Operational Security |
|
==================== |
|
|
|
Bitmessage has many features that are designed to protect your anonymity during normal use. There are other things that you must or should do if you value your anonymity. |
|
|
|
Castles in the sand |
|
------------------- |
|
|
|
You cannot build a strong castle on unstable foundations. If your operating system is not wholly owned by you then it is impossible to make guarantees about an application. |
|
|
|
* Carefully choose your operating system |
|
* Ensure your operating system is up to date |
|
* Ensure any dependencies and requirements are up to date |
|
|
|
Extrordinary claims require extrordinary evidence |
|
------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
If we are to make bold claims about protecting your privacy we should demonstrate this by strong actions. |
|
|
|
- PGP signed commits |
|
- looking to audit |
|
- warrant canary |

Digital foootprint |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
Your internet use can reveal metadata you wouldn't expect. This can be connected with other information about you if you're not careful. |
|
|
|
* Use separate addresses for different puprose |
|
* Don't make the same mistakes all the time |
|
* Your language use is unique. The more you type, the more you fingerprint yourself. The words you know and use often vs the words you don't know or use often. |
|
|
|
Cleaning history |
|
---------------- |
|
|
|
* Tell your browser not to store BitMessage addresses |
|
* Microsoft Office seems to offer the ability to define sensitive informations types. If browsers don't already they may in the future. Consider adding `BM-\w{x..y}`. |
