WEBVTT 00:00.920 --> 00:07.670 Two other things you may value Deely our privacy and anonymity which will relate to why some of your 00:07.670 --> 00:09.890 assets are important to you. 00:10.010 --> 00:12.300 You may wish your emails to remain private. 00:12.410 --> 00:19.650 You may wish your identity to remain known but privacy and anonymity are not the same thing. 00:19.670 --> 00:21.520 So let's explore the difference. 00:21.650 --> 00:27.840 So privacy is nobody's seeing what you do but potentially knowing who you are. 00:27.860 --> 00:29.710 Privacy is about content. 00:29.720 --> 00:34.550 Privacy is about maintaining confidentiality and keeping secrets. 00:34.550 --> 00:41.900 One example of privacy could be if you send an encrypted e-mail to a friend only you and they can read 00:41.900 --> 00:42.310 it. 00:42.350 --> 00:45.530 So it's private from the world and not public. 00:45.530 --> 00:52.670 Another example if you register with a cloud storage provider such as Dropbox you are not anonymous 00:52.940 --> 00:59.240 but if you encrypt the files and only you have the key the data is private. 00:59.270 --> 01:05.540 You have privacy you are private in your own home as no one knows what you do in your home. 01:05.540 --> 01:12.650 You are not anonymous as everyone knows that you live there and an enmity is nobody knowing who you 01:12.650 --> 01:13.120 are. 01:13.250 --> 01:19.460 But potentially seeing what you do and amitie is keeping your actions and activities separate from your 01:19.460 --> 01:20.680 true identity. 01:20.790 --> 01:27.250 And NMT concerns your identity NMT is when out of a set of all possible people. 01:27.260 --> 01:34.640 There is an equal chance it could be anyone who may desire this for viewing content but not for making 01:34.640 --> 01:35.300 it. 01:35.300 --> 01:44.540 It depends on an Amity means non attribution to your actions to be nameless to be faceless one example. 01:44.540 --> 01:50.450 You connect to the Internet through an anonymising service like Tor and post a message about women's 01:50.450 --> 01:55.890 rights under an anonymous username may be in a country where that's a crime. 01:56.060 --> 02:00.710 Your identity remains anonymous and separate from your true identity. 02:00.830 --> 02:04.100 But your message is received and not private. 02:04.100 --> 02:05.880 This is anonymity. 02:05.960 --> 02:12.770 If you connect to a Web site via a virtual private network you are potentially anonymous to that Web 02:12.770 --> 02:13.300 site. 02:13.460 --> 02:19.050 But when you post a message on their public forum that message is not private. 02:19.160 --> 02:22.840 And finally there is a variant of anonymity. 02:22.850 --> 02:30.890 People sometimes use and that is pseudo anonymity pseudo anonymity is when you wish to retain a reputation 02:30.950 --> 02:32.860 against an identity. 02:32.930 --> 02:39.160 A common example is having an alias for social media or for a forum online. 02:39.230 --> 02:41.430 And this picture sums it up. 02:41.480 --> 02:49.820 An adversary may not know who the blue bag user is but they can attribute posts and activities to him 02:49.940 --> 02:51.040 or her. 02:51.050 --> 02:58.570 This is an alias a Kovar a false identity so hopefully that should make it clear the distinction between 02:58.570 --> 03:01.960 privacy anonymity and pseudo anonymity. 03:01.960 --> 03:06.300 So you can understand why you might want in your own situation. 03:06.310 --> 03:12.820 Often the three terms get used interchangeably and even I make the mistake myself so it is important 03:12.820 --> 03:19.990 to understand the difference because different solutions provide privacy over anonymity and pseudo anonymity. 03:20.470 --> 03:27.910 One of the more interesting pseudonyms of modern times is Satoshi Nakamoto the creator of Bitcoin. 03:27.910 --> 03:33.000 If you're not familiar with who he is that's a little extra reading you can do for fun. 03:33.160 --> 03:38.820 In most countries you have the right to privacy and anonymity if you so choose. 03:38.860 --> 03:41.700 Protected under law in most countries. 03:41.800 --> 03:45.910 Stealing your personal and private information is a crime. 03:45.910 --> 03:50.230 For example the content of an email is personal information. 03:50.230 --> 03:55.460 Saying that though many governments seem to be free to steal personal information with impunity. 03:55.540 --> 03:58.840 Unfortunately as we all are aware. 03:58.900 --> 04:06.130 Which is why people feel that our privacy is eroding making and seek security to enable privacy and 04:06.130 --> 04:13.690 anonymity and probably a reason many of you are doing this course so adding to your list of assets or 04:13.690 --> 04:20.650 what is important to you might also be your privacy and anonymity and your need may be greater or less 04:20.650 --> 04:22.880 than others that are on the course. 04:22.930 --> 04:27.390 As we go through the course consider your needs for protecting your assets. 04:27.490 --> 04:35.160 That includes privacy and anonymity as these will determine the security that you require.
