Have you ever had a conversation with someone that you assumed was private, only to find out the conversation was not private at all? Maybe you discussed sensitive information or just didn’t want anyone else to know. You’re not alone, most people like to believe that their private communications don’t leave the confines of the individual(s) you were speaking with.
We live in an era of digital communications and most of us rely heavily on technology to communicate with friends, family, and professional contacts. How private do you think those conversations are? The reality is that the answer is, not at all. This is where encrypted communications can offer a solution to your privacy needs.
Just like anything made for good, encrypted communications are used by criminals world-wide. However, caring about your security and privacy is not a crime and context is everything. This technology offers you the ability to discuss anything with any trusted contact with a significantly lower chance of those communications being intercepted.
Encryption has been used for thousands of years. In World War II, the Allied Forces were able to procure a German made Enigma. Enigma was a device used to encrypt communications to prevent plans and operations from being shared with the enemy. Encryption takes plain text and scrambles or swaps characters for characters. Now it just looks like a mess of characters with little to no rhythm. As long as the true recipient of the message has the decryption key, the message is able to be deciphered and readable.
You might be wondering why this technology would be useful for you. Maybe you want to discuss your financial situation with a loan officer, read charts from your recent medical visit, or maybe you just want to have a conversation with a friend that you want to remain private. You are entitled to privacy and I encourage you to take it seriously.
