just whatever my browser does automatically. nothing else. i bought pgp but never used it. certainly nothing heavy like steganography or any of that stealthy stuff. dunno tho, the way the us is going who knows. bush wants a new citizen army of millions of neighborhood spies keeping us all warm and safe as 3 year olds. but i'm kind of naughty and maybe i don't want mom knowing everything i do. might be time to put new covers on my books...

oddly enough, i don't either, unless you count my recent messing with freenet (it seems to be getting gradually faster as i use it more, but there's still not much out there). i don't really do anything over the internet at present that i don't mind sending around in plaintext.
crypto isn't something i can really be bothered with day-to-day, it's more of a safety net - interesting to play with and learn about, and nice to know it's there should i ever happen to need it. |

Occasionally I'll encrypt e-mails, depending on their nature and the recipient.

an interesting and seemingly reliable alternative use of freenet is iip - the invisible irc project. it needs freenet installed to work and then asks you to connect a standard irc client (eg. mirc) to localhost:6667. as i understand it, this is essentially a completely anonymous irc server - your ip can't be found out, even by the server itself. i hope more uses like this will start to appear, although it'd be nice if the basic site browsing functions would work as reliably too. |

I can't encrypt because of the recipients. None of my friends use or want to bother learning encryption. Since the most illegal my emails run is light drug purchasing (always kept without details) and some not so serious warez tips (for software that's under $3,000 total of course (COUGH)) I don't get too concerned.
But I certainly wish encryption was more accepted among the masses because by nature I would prefer to encrypt everything by default.
