Securing Sensitive Information and Communications in the Field
We have pointed out the great work of Tactical Technology Collective and Frontline Defenders (NGO-in-a-box) in the past, either way this article is a great reminder and provides some good linkage to the excellent work being done by these guys.
A post which could just as easily be titled “how to try and keep the Sudanese Government (or insert other oppressive regime) from reading everything on your computer.” As they are sometimes wont to do, especially when expelling large numbers of NGOs.
An anonymous aid worker who was recently expelled from Sudan described the following:
“Government officials quickly arrived at the office, confiscating all our assets – our phones and computers to start with…At the airport, National Security were waiting for us. They searched through all of our bags. They took – stole – all kinds of personal items: cameras, iPods, our own computers with hundreds of photos of our lives and friends in Darfur.”
