Exercise 6

Scenario:
You want to send the current version of your research work (several files) to your supervisor before an upcoming meeting. Consider: What options are available to protect or encrypt these files?

  • Send files via a secure email program with end-to-end encryption.
  • Copy files into a folder, compress them using 7-Zip, and encrypt them (optionally add a password), then:
    • Send via email
    • Upload to the university’s cloud storage and share the link (with download permission).
