Political Organizations#

Here are several awesome organization regarding online freedom:

• EFF : The Electronic Frontier Foundation fights for digital freedom in many different ways (legal fights, press review, development of technical tools…). See their website and their Twitter account. Here is a list of EFF projects I like:

  • Let’s Encrypt is a free certificate authority
  • Privacy badger is a Chrome/Firefox extension to block spying ads and invisible trackers
  • HTTPs Everywhere is a browser extension to use HTTPs by default on main websites

• Citizen Lab is a research group based in the University of Toronto which focus its researchs on human rights and digital surveillance. They have done amazing analysis of targeted attacks by governments on citizen (like this one or this one). See their website or twitter account.

• La Quadrature Du Net is a French political movement for digital freedom especially in France and Europe. See their website or Twitter account.

Security Resources#

• After all these years, Bruce Schneier’s blog is still a very good resource regarding cryptography and surveillance topics.
• Matthew Green and his Cryptography Engineering blog contains very good articles related to cryptography.
• I like the diversity and fun of Krebs On Security articles, always interesting to read.
• The SANS Internet Storm Center is nice to follow new vulnerabilities or evolution of malware and threats.
