To render the PDFs from LaTeX source, do make clean; make
I've committed a PDF of version 0.1 of this handout, so people can get a feel for the formatting. However! See the LaTeX file for the main and updated content! The PDF won't necessarily be updated with each edit I make to the LaTeX source, because I don't like committing binaries or generated files in Git repositories unless there's a good reason.
This Readme is mainly for supplementary content for the presenters, not for the main handout.

Some tips adapted from: "10 Incredibly Simple Things You Should Be Doing To Protect Your Privacy." Kashmir Hill. Forbes Magazine, 2012-08-23.
Example of the type of thing that gets fixed in updates (from the OpenSSL toolkit, January 2017): "BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64. There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely...."
I have no idea what Montgomery squaring is, although I sort of know what some of the other stuff is (mod_exp, EC, RSA, DSA). I do know that little things like this get fixed very often, and lots of little improvements add up to a big improvement.

ISP can see you're using Tor. VPN would be a next step on top of Tor.
