Confidentiality, anonymity, and getting more of the latter #236

Closed psivesely closed 8 years ago

psivesely commented 8 years ago

First, this adds two paragraphs on confidentiality vs. anonymity to the "Threat Modeling" section.

Then, in the Signal and OTR sections it adds information on how these technologies do not provide anonymity. In the OTR section, there was already some information to this regard. I've moved it into it's own subsection and added to it some.

In this new "OTR, Metadata, and Anonymity" subsection, I've also added some information on how to use OTR over Tor on Android devices by using ChatSecure together w/ Orbot.

Most of this was discussed in #214.

Sorry I snuck a minor unrelated edit into this. I do prefer focused commits, but it's hard to resist fixing little things when you're reading past them to do something else. Will continue trying to avoid in the future.

@fowlslegs No worries! I would've appreciated more focused commits, but this is fine. I also sometimes succumb to the "ooh, now I improve it over here too!" mindset when I've editing stuff, I think it's worse with documentation because everything about writing prose is more subjective than writing code.

I do, however, think this is another point of evidence for why Github/Pull Requests are not a great workflow for editing documents such as this one.

Okay, rebased and squashed the second micro-commit into the original.
