<h1>M41LZ in Tails</h1>
<p>Here is the background on my workshop presentation
<strong>M41LZ in Tails: securing e-mail</strong>
at <a href="https://www.umsec.umn.edu/events/Code-Freeze-2015-Security">Code Freeze 2015</a>.
Currently the slides are under heavy development -- stay
tuned as they are updated in anticipation of v1.0.0 on January 14, 2015.
Of course the slides alone don't provided the extra commentary
and personal experiences -- you'll have to come to Code Freeze for that!</p>

He has combined his EE and community experiences in open source hardware
projects such as <a href="http://info9.net/wiki/tmarble/posts/USB_TRNG/">USB TRNG</a>
and his software and intellectual property experiences by organizing
a legal and policy issues track at Europe's largest open source
conference, <a href="https://fosdem.org/2015/schedule/track/legal_and_policy_issues/">FOSDEM</a>. Tom's passion for Free Software is
demonstrated by frequent speaking at conferences such as O'Reilly's Open
Source Convention, JavaOne, the Debian conference, Software Passion (Sweden),
Fórum Internacional do Software Livre (Brazil) and Linux Conf Australia.</p>
<p>Mr. Marble is committed to increasing diversity in technology
(especially in open source) by volunteering as an organizer
for <a href="http://www.clojurebridge.org/">ClojureBridge Minneapolis</a>
-- a weekend workshop for women to learn the Clojure programming language --
as well as the
<a href="http://gnome.org/opw">GNOME Outreach Program for Women</a>

<p>Tom is the founder of Informatique, Inc.: a consultancy which
leverages his hardware, software and legal engineering background for
client projects as diverse as telematics for electric vehicles,
probabilistic model checking, autonomous cyber defense, and
multiplayer online gaming.</p>
<h2>abstract</h2>
<p>We are stuck between knowing that our Internet communications
are vulnerable and using overly complex crypto tools.
This workshop will explain, step by step, how to use open source
encryption available in a live USB drive based system
to secure e-mail. Along the way you will learn about
threats to anonymity on the web and how to harness the Web of Trust.
We'll then explore the next steps to making secure e-mail more
practical for everyday use.</p>

<h1>Secure Mail for Windows</h1>
<p>So you are stuck on Windows, but would like to be able
to exchange PGP/MIME encrypted e-mail?</p>
<p>This is a brief guide to get you started!</p>
<p>Here are the steps for setting up secure e-mail on Windows:</p>
<ol>
<li>Setup GNU Privacy Guard <a href="http://sept.info9.net/wiki//e-mail/../securemail/gpg/">GPG</a> (set up a private key)</li>
<li>Configure <a href="http://sept.info9.net/wiki//e-mail/../securemail/thunderbird/">Thunderbird</a> for e-mail to use GPG</li>
</ol>
<p>Once you get a GPG key you will probably want to explore
a variety of interesting applications beyond e-mail that take advantage
of the "web-of-trust" that you can now join. Joining the web-of-trust
by attending a "Key Signing Party" is beyond the scope of
this tutorial.</p>
<p>We're going to be using GPG with Thunderbird via the Enigmail
extension. For more detailed background on Enigmail see the
<a href="http://enigmail.mozdev.org/documentation/quickstart.php.html">Enigmail Quick Start Guide</a>.</p>

<h1>Thunderbird Configuration on Windows for Secure Mail</h1>
<p><strong>Beginning</strong> | <em>step 1 of 17</em> | <a href="http://sept.info9.net/wiki//e-mail/../securemail/thunderbird2/">Next</a></p>
<h2>Download and install Thunderbird 3.1</h2>
<ol>
<li>Be sure that you have setup <a href="http://sept.info9.net/wiki//e-mail/../securemail/gpg/">GPG</a> for Windows first.</li>
<li>Download Mozilla Thunderbird 3.1</li>
<li> Do "Right-click, Save As..." this file: <a href="http://download.mozilla.org/?product=thunderbird-3.1.9&os=win&lang=en-US">thunderbird.exe</a></li>
<li>Open (Run) that file to install Thunderbird</li>
<li>Enter your name, e-mail and password as part of the basic Account Setup</li>
<li>Proceed to the <a href="http://sept.info9.net/wiki//e-mail/../securemail/thunderbird2/">Next</a> step</li>

<h1>GPG Configuration on Windows for Secure Mail</h1>
<p><strong>Beginning</strong> | <em>step 1 of 5</em> | <a href="http://sept.info9.net/wiki//e-mail/../securemail/gpg2/">Next</a></p>
<h2>Install GPG</h2>
<ol>
<li>Download GNU Privacy Guard</li>
<li> Do "Right-click, Save As..." this file: <a href="ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32cli-1.4.11.exe">gnupg.exe</a></li>
<li> <em>tip:</em> If you want to read more about GPG see the <a href="http://www.gnupg.org/">GPG homepage</a></li>
<li>Open (Run) that file to install GPG</li>
<li>Download this GPG helper file (This makes it easier to run GPG)</li>
<li> Do "Right-click, Save As..." this file: <a href="http://sept.info9.net/wiki//e-mail/../gpg.bat">gpg.bat</a></li>
<li> Save it to (or move it to) your HOME directory. If your username
is <strong>foo</strong> then your HOME directory is <strong>C:\Users\foo</strong></li>
<li>You can now open a command window</li>
<li> <em>Start | All Programs | Accessories | Command Prompt</em></li>
<li> list the contents of your HOME directory with <strong>dir</strong> (see screenshot below)</li>
<li> You can make sure that gpg is installed (and the helper batch file works) by typing <strong>gpg --version</strong></li>
<li>Create a new GPG configuration directory</li>
<li> This directory should be <strong>C:\Users\foo\AppData\Roaming\gnupg</strong></li>
<li> You can create it using <em>Start | All Programs | Accessories | Windows Explorer</em></li>
<li> Alternatively you can do this in the command window:
<ul>
<li><code>C:\Users\foo> <b>mkdir AppData</b></li>
<li>C:\Users\foo> <b>cd AppData</b></li>
<li>C:\Users\foo\AppData> <b>mkdir Roaming</b></li>
<li>C:\Users\foo\AppData> <b>cd Roaming</b></li>
<li>C:\Users\foo\AppData\Roaming> <b>mkdir gnupg</b></code></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Download this GPG configuration file (insures a strong key will be created)</li>
<li> Do "Right-click, Save As..." this file: <a href="http://sept.info9.net/wiki//e-mail/../gpg.conf">gpg.conf</a></li>
<li> Save it to (or move it to) your GPG configuration directory you just created.</li>
<li> It should be located at <strong>C:\Users\foo\AppData\Roaming\gnupg\gpg.conf</strong></li>
<li> If you want to know why this configuration is important please
see <a href="http://www.debian-administration.org/users/dkg/weblog/48">OpenPGP for Debian</a></li>
<li>Go back to your HOME directory</li>
<li> C:\Users\foo\AppData\Roaming> <b>cd \Users\foo</b></code></li>
<li> C:\Users\foo></li>
<li>Proceed to the <a href="http://sept.info9.net/wiki//e-mail/../securemail/gpg2/">Next</a> step</li>
