Most people think of security on the software side: the hardware is important aswell.
- Hardware security is useful in particular to journalists (or activists in a given movement) who need absolute privacy in their work.
- It is also generally useful to all those that believe security and privacy are inalienable rights.
- Security starts with the hardware; crypto and network security come later.
- </p>
- <p>
- Paradoxically, going this far to increase your security also makes you a bigger target.
- At the same time, it protects you in the case that someone does attack your machine.
- This paradox only exists while few people take adequate steps to protect yourself: it is your <b>duty</b>
- to protect yourself, not only for your benefit but to make strong security <i>normal</i> so
- that those who do need protection (and claim it) are a smaller target against the masses.
- </p>
- <p>
- Even if there are levels of security beyond your ability (technically, financially and so on)
- doing at least <i>something</i> (what you are able to do) is extremely important.
- If you use the internet and your computer without protection, attacking you is cheap (some say it is
- only a few US cents). If everyone (majority of people) use strong security by default,
- it makes attacks more costly and time consuming; in effect, making them disappear.
+ work.

This tutorial deals with reducing the number of devices that have direct memory access that
could communicate with inputs/outputs that could be used to remotely
- command the machine (or leak data).
+ command the machine (or leak data). All of this is purely theoretical for the time being.
