Passwords and passphrases
Passwords and passphrases can be seen as your last line of defense in protecting your accounts, systems and files. This makes it important to make sure that your passwords are secure. Generally speaking, strong passwords are long, highly random and don't use dictionary words. Because this makes them hard to remember, it can be a better choice to create a strong passphrase. Passhprases are more easy to remember because they do consist of dictionary words, but use many of them, ideally words that have no logical connection to each other.
An easy way to use strong passwords is by generating and storing them in a password manager. This way you only need to remember the master passphrase for the password manager, while still being able to use strong, unique passwords for all of your accounts and services. A cross-platform, free software password manager that you can use is KeepasX.
The Intercept have written an article on how to use the Diceware method to create strong, truly random passphrases. Read it here.

Introduction to public key cryptography and PGP: https://ssd.eff.org/en/module/introduction-public-key-cryptography-and-pgp
Learn how to use PGP signatures to verify documents. Most free software developers sign their installation packages so you can verify that the software has not been tampered with. The nice people of TAILS created an easy explaination on how to do this:

OTR
OTR is a protocol to encrypt your chats, it works on any protocol, but we would suggest you use XMPP (jabber).
If you have a xmpp account and want to use OTR , then have a look at how to set that up:

If you do not have a email account at a provider that supports XMPP (puscii and riseup do) but still want to use XMPP: Systemli offers free xmpp accounts.

Tails
Tails is a live operating system, that you can start on almost any computer from a DVD, USB stick, or SD card. It aims at preserving your privacy and anonymity. It is an easy way to stay secure and uses all the privacy tools that have been mentioned in the workshop.
