This book was written for professionals who need to protect their information - people like journalists, lawyers, policitians, researchers and activists. However, if you do not consider yourself to be one of those professionals, but merely insist on actually having the right to privacy guaranteed to you under the UN Declaration Of Human Rights [1948] Article 12, this book is also for you.
