English is below Japanese. 21日のセミナーに引き続き暗号化を特集します。これまでも暗号化ツールについては、何度か紹介してきました。ネットやパソコンなどを利用する際に、ほとんど自覚することなく暗号化が機能している場合もありますが、意識的に暗号化のツールを導入することが必要になる場合があります。 今回のセミナーでは、ほとんど事前の予備知識なしに導入できるいくつかの暗号化のツールを中心に紹介します。メールやSNSについては、エンド・ツー・エンド暗号化に対応しているサービスを使うことで容易に実現できる反面、これまで使ってきたサービスからの切り替えが必要になるという点がハードルになります。保存データの暗号化やハードディスクの暗号化では特別のソフトウェアの導入などの作業も必要になりますが、以前よりも導入しやすくなっています。 暗号化は、知識だけではなく、実践が第一なのです。しかしまた、パソコンやネットを苦手とする人たちにとって、暗号化は取り組みにくい課題と感じられる結果として、セキュリティのリスクに曝されやすくなる傾向があるともいえます。こうした点を念頭に置きながら、苦手な皆さんがひとつでも暗号化ツールの導入を実現できるためのノウハウを提供するように工夫します。 このセミナーで使用しているオンライン会議室Jitsi-meetもエンド・ツー・エンド暗号化での会議を行なえるようになっています。この点についても、実際に試してみる予定です。 (参考資料) メール – Proton https://proton.me/mail – tuta https://tuta.com/ja デバイス(ファイル)の暗号化 – Veracrypt https://www.veracrypt.fr/code/VeraCrypt/ https://www.gigafree.net/security/encrypt/VeraCrypt.html – Cryptpad https://pilot.jca.apc.org/nextcloud/index.php/s/J6aRkHmRDfQG59i PGPを使った暗号化 – LibreOfficeの文書の暗号化 https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/guide/openpgp.html – ThunderbirdでPGPを使う(メッセージのデジタル署名と暗号化) https://support.mozilla.org/ja/kb/digitally-signing-and-encrypting-messages コーディネーター 小倉利丸 言語 日本語 通訳はありません 下記から申し込んでください。 https://pilot.jca.apc.org/nextcloud/index.php/apps/forms/s/xscRGorFgCHntS5AJwrCnxgH ====================== English comes after Japanese Introducing encryption tools (emails, SNS, saved data, computer devices) Following on from […]
