!!! Overview [{$pagename}] ([TNO]) is an approach towards [Internet] and software [security] issues. In all [Internet] communication and software packages where some sort of secrecy is needed, usually some sort of [encryption] is applied. The [{$pagename}] approach teaches that no one (but oneself) should be trusted when it comes to the storage of the [keys] behind the applied [encryption] technology. Many [encryption] technologies rely on the trust of an external [Third-party]. For instance the security of secure end-to-end [TLS] connections relies on the trust of a [Certificate Authority] ([CA]). [{$pagename}] design philosophy requires that the [keys] for [encryption] should always be, and stay, in the hands of the user that applies them. This implies that no external [Third-party] can access the [encrypted] [data] (assumed that the [encryption] is strong enough). [{$pagename}] also implies that an external party cannot provide a backup mechanism for recovery. Although the philosophy of [{$pagename}] at least assures the [Confidentiality] of the communication of the user that creates it, in real life and in society many communication means rely on a [trust] [relationship] between at least two parties.[{$pagename}] is also often part of [Zero Trust] systems. !!
