Why use a passphrase instead of a password?

by Leave a Comment

As technology changes and advances, so do cybercriminals. That is why every day sites on the internet, softwares and applications are required to ask users to strengthen their passwords. This is because, users continuously make the same mistakes, using a password that hackers can easily discover.

According to Google’s global data, 68% of people use the same password for different accounts, only 46% change it at least once a year, and 91% use a password that is in the top 1000 most common passwords in the world. This goes to show that we still do not know the magic formula to remember a strong and unique password.

Remembering all of our different passwords is growing more difficult: increased length, numbers, capital letters, lowercase letters, and symbols make it difficult to not make mistakes, or forget. Thankfully, there is a better option: how about we use a passphrase?

Passphrase: what you need to know

A passphrase is nothing more than a phrase that works like a password. It is commonly used in the encryption of access to some software or other electronic systems. Unlike the password, they are much easier to remember.

Not all applications or software have this feature, but you can choose this option if the service allows it, especially when you need to protect the content of the information you want to share. The rest of this article will be dedicated to offering some simple tips that will help you  build a safe and easy to remember passphrase.

Like passwords, passphrases must have a certain level of complexity, or at least creativity, something that makes it unique and that only you will remember. Although this principle is repeated when you create a password, in the case of a phrase it may make more sense than a set of symbols, numbers and letters. Therefore, avoid using familiar phrases such as excerpts from songs, books or popular culture.

Do not repeat the phrase, remember that a password is like a key, you do not use it to open the same room. With the passphrase it will work the same, use a different phrase for different services.

Also, do not share the method you used to create it, it may be a clue you give to hackers to guess your phrase.

HushApp: Passphrases to send your files easily and safely

Now that you know you have this option, you will wonder where you can use it. In HushApp the passphrase has a leading role to protect your privacy. Here you can encrypt your files and store them in in your Hushbox. You will only be able to access your files using the passphrase you have selected.

You can also send your files to contacts you have selected, whether they use the application or not. In case you do not use it, you will also create a passphrase especially for them and send it to the recipient by other means. This way, you make sure that your information is completely secure.

Passwords have a vital function within the scope of cybersecurity, choosing the right one is crucial when stopping our information from falling into the wrong hands. The passphrase is an option to further improve the security and protection of your data, provided you give it the appropriate use.

6 tips to protect intellectual property on the internet

by Leave a Comment

It is not an easy task to protect intellectual property, and as an artist, the internet can be a double-edged sword. On one hand it is a way of diffusion assured to announce your work, but on the other hand, you also run the risk of coming face to face with one of the greatest fears of any creator: the violation of your copyright.

Surely you have heard this debate between content access and copyright protection. On one side many people are in favor of diffusion and against intellectual property. This camp argues that art should be shared with society otherwise it would not be art, but what about the rights of an artist? How can you protect your creativity and effort?

It is important to know the rights you have regarding the intellectual property of your work and how you can protect it.

What is intellectual property?

The intellectual property right affects unique creations, but not industrially or in a series produced, it reflects the personality and spirit of the author. These are personal and/or patrimonial rights that protect your creation, guaranteeing its disposition.

It can be applied to everything involving creative works such as: literary works, theater plays, films, artworks, drawings, paintings, photographs, sculptures, architectural designs, softwares, and video games among other thing.

Certain topics like ideas, procedures and operation methods are excluded from this right. In addition, the protection begins during the work’s inception, and lasts throughout the life of the author up until 70 years after he/she’s death.

Each country has its copyright laws, and although they are similar, it is important to know what they are and how they register your work. In Spain, for example, one of the most important is the SGAE.

On the internet, the artwork has more reach and it is more difficult to control, so what can you do to protect intellectual property on the internet?

Tips to protect intellectual property on Internet

If your artwork is digital (graphic design, illustrations or digital photos) or physical (paintings or sculptures) it is advisable to have a digital photographic record. In both cases, you can follow these simple tips.

1) Use Creative Commons for non-commercial use
It is essential for published images on a web page to maintain a Creative Commons license for non-commercial use. This means that while everybody will be allowed to download or make changes to the image they cannot legally publish or take credit for the image or changes made to it.

This is the most restrictive option of Creative Commons. In addition to Creative Commons, there are other licenses where you can define handling and modifications of images by another user while continuing to protect your authorship.

2) Convert images to Flash
This option does not allow you to download or copy photos from the web before uploading the images and converting them into flash slides. This is done through a special converter or by hiring a web designer.

3) Watermark your images
Use a watermark with your logo or name on the image, you can also add the symbol © or the abbreviation “Copr”, with the year it was made. Try to make it visible, so that it can not be edited or cut easily. Although some artists do not like to add it for aesthetic reasons, it will make it clear who the author is.

Showing your work to clients:

If you want to send your works directly to a client, you are also running the risk that they may plagiarize your work or get it into the wrong hands, in this case, you could take other measures to reinforce your security:

4) Sample images and low resolution:
In addition to applying watermark or grant Creative Commons licenses, you could send some samples in low resolution, you may lose quality, but at least you keep the work’s essence. Another suggestion is to select some images and give them other licenses less restrictive to share with customers.

5) Send your works with secure applications:
Another danger of sharing artwork online is that they could be intercepted by a hacker and reach unwanted hands. One way to send your digital creations to specific customers is by using tools that allow you to send files in a secure way, using encryption systems that guarantee your files reach the recipient you choose.

With The HushApp, you can select your artworks with the original quality, send them to your client, even if they are not a user of the application, you only need to add their email address. Due to its end-to-end encryption technology, there is no way for anyone to access the files, except you and the recipient.

It is difficult to protect intellectual property in a globalized world where laws change constantly, but at least you can take measures to clarify your authorship and control their diffusion.

13. Is the server of the program I am using safe?

Depending on what you want to protect, you must increase or not the security level of the server you select. If the one you use works with military level encryption, with multilayer encryption or backup services, you can be sure that your information has the ideal level of security.

14. Is the server located in a secure geographic location (with respect to local information regulation / GDPR)?

If you are sharing documents with your clients, it is necessary to have total transparency of a file’s storage location. The new General Regulation Data Protection (GDPR) this information should be even clearer.

For this reason it is essential to seek local legal advice. This means that when selecting a file exchange provider, ask where those files will be located and which legal regulations they should operate.

15. What applications are recommended to be used in companies?

This means that whoever needs to access these files can view them from another computer with a username and password. The problem with this is that a password is not as effective as the encryption, since it is only protecting the access and not the file itself. It is ideal to upload already encrypted files, even if it is a little more time consuming.

20. Is there another safer method than encryption?

So far, no, but there are different types of encryption that can vary the level of security and adapt according to what you need.

21. Is a premium account better than a free account?

Everything will depend on what each one offers. It is not necessarily true that a premium account is better than a free one, it must adapt to the needs of the shipment. The important thing to review is the actual security offered by each.

22. Are the documents that are worked on collaboratively safe?

Currently, there are online tools that allow more than one person to edit a document in real time. This type of functionality is very useful for work teams trying to manage time.

However, this type of service does not offer optimal security measures since there is no way to protect them while they are being edited. It is not advisable to work on sensitive information for the company in these type of settings.

How do I protect medical results and diagnostic tests?

by Leave a Comment

Nowadays, doctors, laboratories and hospitals use technology to communicate with their patients, looking for the fastest way to send their medical results. Generally, they use hospitals and web portals to publish results in addition to sending them via email. Despite the speed and ease of access, there remains a question: are these routes really the most appropriate or safe? What is the best way to protect medical results?

Patient results often contain delicate health information that should be considered sensitive and private. Therefore, physicians, radiologists, laboratories or any other entity in the health sector that has access to patient information is responsible for protecting these results while delivering them to the recipient.

The new General Regulation of Data Protection (GDPR) requires that patients’ information  be treated more cautiously, due to this data being classified as “sensitive”. This label implies that the mishandling of these records could have serious consequences for the patient’s personal life or for those who handle the information, in this case the hospital or doctor.

It is important to know what the correct use of this type of data is, and what precautions should be taken to ensure that it reaches the patient safely. It is the responsibility of both parties to use the appropriate channels to transmit the data.

Encryption to protect medical results

As previously stated, protecting tests is a necessity that must be taken seriously, regardless of the result. Lack of protection could lead to serious problems. For example, a person who does not have the proper knowledge could intercept and misinterpret the results and give the patient an incorrect diagnosis.

Ideally, medical centers should have adequate tools to ensure that the results will reach the patient so that they receive a diagnosis along with the appropriate instructions without causing any unnecessary problems. Encrypting the data shared between doctor and patient is the best way to achieve this goal.

Today there are file encryption tools which allow you to send files simply while ensuring they  reach the chosen recipient. With this type of solution, medical centers can digitize results and send them to patients without risking their privacy.

HushApp is a tool that can be adapted to this need in the medical sector. It is comprised of end-to-end encryption technology, which will greatly reinforce the protection of medical results. It is also ideal for small consultations because it does not require complicated facilities and maintains a very concise learning period.

Overly complex technologies are unnecessary to protect medical tests. The HushApp makes the process simple, and will ensure the privacy of patient and physician alike.
