[HacktionLab] hacktion lab May 2012 workshop

[Sikes]

HAI

In this context, I think the following could be mentioned

Crytography without a personal computer

The thunderbird workshop (as outlined bellow) and alikes require ppl to 
store their keyring and alikes on a _local and personal_ device. Although 
this is undoubtly the 'proper' way, many ppl do not compute locally but 
have their /home on a remote machine somewhere on the web, using different 
terminals to access it.

Beside the geek setup (shell account via ssh, everything from there), what 
would be the viable ways for ppl without a (relatively) secure personal 
computer to be able to use cryptography at all? What are the services as 
offered by the community (or even commercially) to achieve such a set up 
in a (here again, relatively) trustworthy environement?
