- During the registration process, they do ask for your phone number. While you have the option to skip this step, it does suggest an intent to gather personal information.
3. Email.
Email is widely considered one of the least secure communication channels in use today. It was developed in the 1970s without a primary focus on security. If you're unable to provide us with your PGP key, we kindly request that you discontinue the use of email and opt for encrypted messaging applications for more secure communication.
3.1 Encryption
The sole method to safeguard an email is through PGP encryption, which encrypts the email's content but not its header information (recipient, sender, subject).
Preferably, you can use email in this order:
Use Tutanota for communication, as we also use this platform. This ensures that your emails will be automatically encrypted during transit. You can download Tutonata here.
You can send us an email: team.2022@ubinodes.com
3.3- Public PGP Key
You can download our Public PGP key as a text file here.
4. Jitsi
If you are leading a meeting, here is the recommended procedure:
1. Consider using a VPN to mask your IP address when connecting to Jitsi's servers. Go for a fast VPN service to ensure good video quality. ExpressVPN, for example, is a suitable option (we have no affiliation to them).
2. A few minutes before the scheduled time, visit Jitsi's website and initiate a new session by clicking here.
3. Within this session, use the "invite" feature to generate a link.
4. Share this link with other participants via a secure communication channel such as Wickr, Wire, or Threema.
4.1. Alternatively, if necessary, share the link via email, ensuring to encrypt the email content using PGP.
4.2. If the above isn't feasible, ensure that all participants are using either Tutanota or ProtonMail, enabling each email to be end-to-end encrypted with PGP prior to transmission.
Note that Tutanota and ProtonMail are not interoperable; all participants must use the same email provider.
4.3. If none of the above options are viable, use an unsecured email, deleting it once it's no longer needed.
Minimize the information provided in the email subject and body.
