严育铨: 以为你的私人电邮够私隐？再想想吧。

以为你的私人电邮够私隐？再想想吧。

科学家严育铨在他的发人深思的演讲中说道：寄一封电邮就像寄明信片一样——谁都可以读得到。没错，用来保护电邮通讯隐私的加密技术的确存在。只是时至今日这一技术的安装和使用仍然相当困难。严育铨展示了他与欧洲核能研究所的同事共同设计的一个电邮项目，并指出加密技术可以变得相当简单，简单得可以成为大众的默认选择，为所有人提供真正的电邮隐私。

Over the past 25 years, our lives have become more connected, but at the cost of losing control over our personal data. Sending an email today is like sending a postcard, visible to anyone along the way, and most digital communication leaves a permanent record. Despite the risks, true privacy is possible through strong encryption, but ease of use and business incentives have held it back. New tools show that privacy can be both simple and widely accessible, if society demands and supports it.
