<p><strong>Messaging apps</strong> have become a key communication tool. We share a large amount of personal and professional messages, pictures, videos and attachments through messaging apps, but rarely question who might have access to this content. <br /><br />In your work you might want to protect your communication with colleagues, sources, or clients. In your personal life, you might want to protect the pictures you share with your family and friends. <br /><br />And there are a lot of different messaging apps out there.<strong> How do you choose the ones that work for you?</strong> From a privacy and digital security perspective, there is no one-size-fits-all solution; it is all about making choices. Start the course and find out what works for you! <br /><br />You should walk away from this course knowing:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>What secure messaging actually is</li>
<li>How to choose which secure messaging app is the best for you</li>
<li>How to activate security measures, including:</li>

</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>End-to-end encryption</li>
<li>Disappearing messages</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p><br />If you want to learn more, you can take the <em>Optional modules</em> at the end on:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Verifying identity</li>
<li>Creating a pseudonymous (throw-away) account on Wire</li>
<li>Using the desktop version of a messaging app</li>

<p>If you're new to Totem here is <strong>some information to get you started</strong>. Even if you've used edX for other courses, the information here will help orient you to how this course is laid out.</p>
<h2>Layout of the course</h2>
<p>This course is laid out in Modules and Units. Each Module contains 1 or more Units that cover the material for that Module. The Module is the topic area and the Units has all the learning material you'll need to learn that topic. To navigate through the module's Units, use the navigation bar at the top of the Module. You can use the left and right arrows to move through each Unit. Hover over the unit with your mouse to see the unit title.<br /><br /><img src="/assets/courseware/v1/ad075bb800f88624be3c056ce267e588/asset-v1:Totem+TP_SM_001+course+type@asset+block/totem-navigation-bar.png" alt="" type="saveimage" target="[object Object]" preventdefault="function(){r.isDefaultPrevented=n}" stoppropagation="function(){r.isPropagationStopped=n}" stopimmediatepropagation="function(){r.isImmediatePropagationStopped=n}" isdefaultprevented="function t(){return!1}" ispropagationstopped="function t(){return!1}" isimmediatepropagationstopped="function t(){return!1}" width="100%" /><br /><br />Each Unit will generally have some video content, reading material and problem sets, and a set of assessment questions to test your knowledge. When answering a problem set (eg. a quiz) or assessments questions, always click on the "Submit" button. To see the correct answer and a detailed explanation, don't forget to click on the "Show Answer" button.</p>
<p>Some Units also have a discussion board where you can post questions and other material so fellow students can provide feedback. The Units are meant to be taken in order but you can skip around if you already have mastered the material in a particular unit. In order to do well on the assessments, you should learn the material in all the Units.</p>
<h2>Instructor feedback</h2>
<p>Given the nature of this MOOC-style course, it's not possible for instructors to provide feedback to participants. However, we encourage you to seek help and feedback from other participants using the Discussion page. This is a great way to help each other out and enrich your learning experience.</p>
