In the grand scheme of things, the Information Age is still in its infancy. For millennia humans could only communicate through speaking, let alone through print, or even writing.<\/pre>\n
 The speed at which we\u2019ve advanced communication, just in the past few decades, has created unique challenges when it comes to protecting individual privacy. <\/p>\n
As far back as antiquity though, keeping communications secret was just as important. Secret love letters, sinister plots, and covert military orders have always required a level of deniability; should they fall into the wrong hands. As communication has advanced and complexified, so too have our methods of disguising them.
\n\"Passwords<\/a>
\nAs the most common password of 2015 was, predictably, \u2018password\u2019 we\u2019ve looked back to the past for inspiration for alternatives. Smoke signals, flag semaphore, and the anything involving squiggly symbols in the place of letters might not translate well on a conventional keyboard, but we see no reason why you can\u2019t try these out IRL. Just imagine: \u201cThe dinner\u2019s ready, quick, light a fire to let your brother know!\u201d<\/p>\n
Others though we do think could be\u2026 semi\u2026 useful. Take, for example the Caesar Cipher: simply move each letter in your password one further along the alphabet, and boom, you\u2019ve got yourself some legible gobbledygook!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
