Danube near Iron Gate: Anonymity and Security resources, Current Digital Security Resources December 2016 Edition, a) Google ecosystem, b) Tor browser c) EFF's HTTPS Everywhere, Good summary of 3 major disagreements around internet security (through 2016+), Selected Papers in Anonymity 1977-2016, Where are we now?


Pragmatically, I think using the following can easily help improve ones security significantly

a) Gmail / Google ecosystem, which seems designed with security in mind (keep in mind that employees often have access to their companies' "products")

b) Tor browser project - https://www.torproject.org/download/download

c) Electronic Frontier Foundation's HTTPS ("hypertext transfer protocol security" layer) everywhere - https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere

... although with information technologies from an end user perspective, one can't know for sure ...

d) I'd hazard that Google group video Hangouts within the Google ecosystem are or can be some of the most secure and anonymous video conferencing system around

e) And probably much thought has gone into Google's Tensor Flow AI software in terms of security as well - and again within the Google ecosystem
