摘要
Every day, each one of us increases our digital footprint by generating ever-greater volumes of data collected through our use of computers and mobile phones. Used Waze lately? Hooked on ChatGPT? Scrolling on TikTok or Instagram? Ordered anything on Amazon? Logged onto, or visited any website?

Unfortunately, our convenient access to sites and data also means this information can be stolen and decrypted by adversarial nation-states and bad actors.
