It recently became known that in some cases the government mayread your private e-mails, which can’t be good news for any citizen.This is why security experts of different sources and ElectronicFrontier Foundation introduce a few ways to counter thegovernment’s surveillance techniques.

The EFF has created a Surveillance Self-Defense website in order toeducate the US citizens about the law and technology ofgovernment surveillance in the country. First of all, you shouldknow how your e-mail service works: the information is transferredbetween the sender and the receiver “through the wire”, i.e.,through other nodes/servers, and this is where the governmentcan get it.

1. End-to-end encryption

You can use such software as PGP (aka Pretty Good Privacy) and the GNUPrivacy Guard (GnuPG) to protect your transiting e-mails. They will alsosecure stored information. When you use end-to-end encryption, youensure the privacy not just of your e-mails through the wire, but also of thee-mails stored on your PC or other machines. Don’t forget that theseprograms work only if the receiver has them installed as well, and youneed to find and verify the receiver’s public keys.

2. Server-to-server encrypted transit

When you send an e-mail, its content usually passes through a chain ofSMTP mail servers. You can check e-mail’s headers to find out which serversit passed through. Although most free e-mail providers don’t encrypt yourmessages when they pass the SMTP servers, you still can secure your e-mail’s content when it transits those servers through TLS (Transport LayerSecurity). Just make sure your e-mail provider supports this kind ofencryption.

3. Client-to-mail server encryption

If you use webmail services, check whether your e-mail provider uses theHTTPS protocol. Hushmail.com, for example, always uses HTTPS, and alsoprovides end-to-end encryption. Then, even if webmail services use HTTPSto their login page, they may switch back to HTTP after this step. In thiscase you need to look for a configuration option or a browser plugin whichwould keep the secure protocol enabled at all times. Gmail, for instance,always enables the HTTPS security protocol.

4. Information stored on other PCs

4. Information stored on other PCs

Unless you have your own private mail server, other machine gets your e-mails. Your ISP or a webmail provider’s sent texts are traceable andtherefore can be accessed by third parties. Make sure to delete messagesfrom your ISP mail server after download or delete them after you finishedreading them. However, this can’t guarantee 100% that the mail is forevergone. In this case, the best way is to use PGP/GnuPG encrypted e-mails.

They store all of our text messages, what will beso different than email. You can use all t heencryption you want, but if they really want youremails, they will still get them. Damn shame nomore privacy for the common folks.

@1 If you are really looking to go one step furtherthan encryption of your mail i.e passing statesecrets and both parties are using Linux, quiteeasily you can open a secure tunnel but otherthan that the above applications in anononthegofrom sourceforge are all you really need,a word ofcaution though when using secure applicationslike Tor do not use 3rd party plugins like adobeflash as you defeat the security of theapplication,bon chance.
