Messaging

I use Signal for encrypted messaging and phone calls.

You can create a new message and search my username, owenab.314, to contact me or go to this link to start a new conversation with me: https://signal.me/#eu/AfNGhsJAZvTCuzm4yj5d9vXrPv8kZC8rgYA46xSuYbjwc3o9Fo9K3Z-QFnstLpdm.

I suggest reading about how to use Signal safely. I recommend reading this article from the Freedom of the Press Foundation.

Email

ProtonMail automatically end-to-end encrypts emails and attachments between ProtonMail addresses. ProtonMail cannot read your emails or hand them over to third parties. My address is: owenaustonbabcock (at) protonmail (dot) com.

If you don't have a ProtonMail account, your email will not be subject to the same security while it's in-transit and may be accessible by your email service provider. You can send end-to-end encrypted emails to my ProtonMail account by using a browser extension and entering my public PGP encryption key below.

I suggest using Mailvelope to encrypt from a non-ProtonMail account. It's free for individual users and is relatively easy to set up. Just import my public key below and draft a message by clicking the Mailvelope logo in your webmailer (e.g. Gmail). You will need to authorize access to Gmail API before you can send a message.

In your message, please tell me a passcode to unlock my response. ProtonMail external emails are password protected.
