CHANCES ARE GOOD that you’re using crypto in your communications now. In fact, a lot of communication tools use some sort of encryption by default. That said, it never hurts to take stock of what you (and your contacts) are using and trusting every day.

Whether it’s coming out to a trusted friend or engaging in activism, keeping communication safe involves trust. First, you have to trust the recipient of your message. But you also have to trust the medium.

Luckily, a lot of people are using end-to-end encryption by default.
