More on encryption:
We place a lot of trust in the Internet. As users, we create a significant amount of personally identifying information in the course of living our everyday digital lives. And as digital life will someday be called simply “life,” it’s important that we build privacy deeply into the operating systems of our societies.
One of Mozilla’s founding principles is the idea that security and privacy are fundamental and must not be treated as optional.
Encryption is key to a healthy Internet. It’s the encoding of data so that only people with a special key can unlock it, such as the sender and the intended receiver of a message. Internet users depend on encryption everyday, often without realizing it, and it enables amazing things. It safeguards our emails and search queries, and medical data. It allows us to safely shop and bank online. And it protects journalists and their sources, human rights activists and whistleblowers.
To protect security and privacy in a more connected world, we need educate millions of Internet users about the basics of encryption and its connection to our essential freedoms and our everyday lives. That way users know how to take control of their own individual security and companies, governments and nonprofit institutions will step up and enhance our collective security in ways that don’t compromise the security of the Internet.
