STRATEGIES - A Practical All-in-One PC Security Solution |
|
| Big
brother wants to track you on the Internet. |
|
| Thanks
to The New York Times, we now know that the NSA is illegally screening
virtually all Internet and email traffic going or coming to or going from
the U.S. If that’s not enough, the USA PATRIOT Act requires ISPs to hand
over customer information, e-mail records, browsing records, etc., without
a warrant. |
|
| Not
to mention the crooks on the Internet trying to break into your PC to steal
your identity. One of their favorite cruising grounds are wi-fi hotspots,
where they try to break into unprotected PCs. |
|
| I’ve
found a practical solution to prevent both government snoops and wi-fi
pirates from eavesdropping on your Internet communications. For US$485,
you can own a practical, all-in-one computer privacy system. It’s called
Armorware, and it consists of a USB stick with 110 megabytes of usable
capacity and a CD to boot a laptop or desktop PC into a secure computing
environment running under the Linux operating system. Using your Armorware
USB stick, you can walk into any wi-fi equipped café anywhere in
the world and create a private and completely secure connection to the
Internet. |
|
| Armorware
does this by creating an encrypted data channel between you and the Armorware
servers in Toronto, Canada. Even if the connection is tapped, eavesdroppers
see only gibberish because the entire communication between the Armorware
USB stick and the Armorware servers is encrypted! They won’t even be able
to see where you’re surfing or to whom you’re sending e-mail, because all
communication is through Armorware’s secure servers. |
|
| Once
Armorware boots up, you get a Windows-like display and a dozen or so open-source
programs that allow you to import and export files in most Microsoft formats,
including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. You also get the excellent Firefox
browser, a desktop organizer and several utilities. Plus, you can run many
other programs, so long as they are written for Linux. |
|
| For
expats and perpetual travelers, this is a great deal. Even if your USB
sticks are lost or stolen, the data can be encrypted so that the thief
won’t recover anything usable. You could even back up your files to an
encrypted Armorware server with unlimited capacity. |
|
| To
install Armorware, all you need to do is reconfigure your PC’s BIOS settings
to permit booting from a CD and change the boot sequence instructions to
boot first from the CD drive. This is a one-time operation on your laptop,
and lets you use Armorware anywhere in the world. |
|
| Once
you’ve accomplished this, simply create a pass phrase for your open-source
PGP encryption keys or import your own. Within a matter of minutes, you
are ready to log on to the Armorware servers. |
|
| It’s
good that Armorware’s creators chose to use PGP instead of proprietary
encryption software, because it’s an open-source algorithm that can be
checked out by outside computer experts. And PGP, along with the open-source
Linux as an operating system, are just two examples of Armorware’s use
of outstanding open-source applications. |
|
| Most
computer experts agree that open source operating systems and applications
can be made more secure than proprietary operating systems such as Microsoft
Windows. Unlike proprietary software, in open source software, the programming
instructions are available for outside review by experts. |

The
Sovereign Society, headquartered in Waterford, Ireland, was founded in
1998 to provide proven legal strategies for individuals to protect their
wealth and privacy, lower their taxes and to help improve their personal
freedom and liberty.
|
|

The
Society's highly qualified contacts recommend only carefully chosen banks
and investment advisors as well as financial and legal professionals located
in select tax and asset haven jurisdictions around the world. The Society
provides advice concerning the establishement and operation of offshore
bank accounts, asset protection trusts, international business corporations
(IBCs), private foundations, second citizenships and foreign residency,
as well as practical safeguards for financial, Internet and personal privacy.

|
| There’s a
continuing process of improvement as experts weed out security weaknesses.
In contrast, with proprietary systems, you must “trust” the company that
publishes the operating system or application that it’s providing a secure
system. Microsoft hasn’t done a very good job of that, although it’s trying
harder now. |
|
| Of course,
the best hardware or software in the world won’t get you to first base
if you can’t figure out how to use it. And that’s where Armorware shines.
It’s not exactly like using Windows, but its close enough that if you’re
familiar with a Windows environment, you’ll be up and running within an
hour or two after you first install it. |
|
| Another nice
aspect of using Armorware is the company’s technical support. I had some
problems establishing a DSL connection, but Armorware worked me through
it and even sent a replacement CD with special instructions for my modem.
Now it connects perfectly each time I use it. |
|
| Armorware
is not cheap, but it’s less expensive than America Online, Yahoo! and similar
services. Not to mention that with Canada-based Armorware, you’re dealing
with a non-U.S. company. Armorware isn’t subject to the USA PATRIOT Act,
so it’s not required to hand over customer e-mail and browsing records
upon warrant less demand by the FBI. |
