Encryption & Privacy
The net is an open system, open to any individual or agency who wants to find out what we say to each other. Encryption systems can help us retain our privacy.
There is no such thing as a 100% secure encryption system, even if its not possible to 'pick the lock' its always possible to steal the key!
Coming soon, info on how to avoid unsolicited mail, companies and organisations gathering data on your browsing habits and any other paranoid stuff I can find....

Get on the Web!
Creating and maintaining a website is not difficult!! Minimum requirement
is access to a simple computer capable of typing ascii text and use of someones Internet account and browser to upload the files to your website.
Dice George writes the Stonehenge Campaign website in a bus on an old Amstrad
powered by the wind! He then uses a circle of contacts' computers to tweak
and upload pages to the free site at Geocities!
It's also possible to get space on campaigns and organisations websites
with spare megabytes hanging around. Resurgence hosted the Coalition Against Runway 2 site for instance.
Check out the sites below for info on creating websites, tutorials and
info on various facilites on the internet. See the shareware section above
for sites with free software for creating and uploading websites.
