-You might worry, how much details you need to understand about the crypto tools you're using. It depends on your intentions. For example, if you don't like the idea of being watched completely and easily, then every little use of cryptography will help a bit. However, if you want to be completely protected, you'll have to learn a lot of details.

+You might worry, "how much detail do I need to understand about the crypto tools I will use?"
+Well, it depends on your intentions. For example, if you don't like the idea of being watched completely and easily, then every little use of cryptography will be a help. However, if you want to be completely protected, you'll have to learn a lot of details.
 So first of all you have to think about yourself: Why do I want to use crypto?

-Both ways are easy and with some motivation do-able, but the [[:brief| brief one]] will not take that much time for starting to use crypto, and having a less more protected enviroment online.
+Either way, it is easy and (with the right amount of motivation) certainly do-able, but the [[:brief| brief one]] will not take that much time for those just starting to use crypto and opting for a more protected online enviroment.
-There is one important thing for both of you: Never trust the technology. Never think that you are totally safe. Think twice everytime you are doing something special online!
+There is one important thing to remember regardless: Never trust the technology. Never think that you are totally safe. Think twice everytime you are doing something special online!
-Also keep in mind: If you secure your windows or android with some software, it is still windows and android.
+Also keep in mind: Security is only as strong as the weakest part in the system. It is impossible to know how secure proprietary, closed source software is. Much of it even has backdoors (for example, Microsoft Windows, Skype and Outlook). So don't use it.
+If your operating system is backdoored, your cryptosoftware is backdoored, too.
