From Eyebeam's "PRISM Breakup" talks, Oct. 5, 2013. "Paranoia, it's not just for crazies anymore" from Barbra Mack and Enrique Piracés. "For many years, security experts and whistleblowers have
 warned us of the growing surveillance capacity of states, and the 
increasing role that corporations play in the brokerage of our rights 
to privacy and anonymity. However, given Lavabit and SilentCircle’s 
responses to the NSA revelations, it is also clear that informed
 paranoia is not always enough to counter this strengthening
 surveillance culture. The data storage approach taken by Martus (a secure human rights 
documentation solution) has proven to be an effective approach(so
 far). Decryption keys are not stored on Martus servers, and the 
encryption algorithms employed by Martus (over the last 10 years) are 
not considered compromised by the larger security community.
However, finding an effective technical solution is only one part of 
the paranoia equation. Ensuring that people adopt best practices, and 
making encryption tools “usable” to most humans is also a significant
challenge. In this talk, we expect to share our experience building and 
supporting Martus, a secure solutions for human rights documentation,
and our experiences implementing best practices to help shield the 
identity of victims or witnesses in some of the most challenging
 situations around the world."
