Sensei Article Mentioned in Oklahoma Bar Journal

February 2, 2017

Colleague and friend Jim Calloway recently wrote an article entitled “Client Confidentiality, Personal Privacy and Digital Security” for the Oklahoma Bar Journal. Within this article, he mentions Sharon Nelson and John Simek’s article, “Encryption Made Easier: The Basics of Keeping Your Data Secure.”

Excerpt: Encryption is not a four letter word and anyone concerned about confidentiality and privacy should understand how it works. Lawyers should know how to encrypt data on an “as needed” basis. I have previously noted the OBA member benefit Citrix ShareFile for email encryption and online file storage in my September 2016 Law Practice Tips column “Email Attachments vs. Client Portals.” This is a very important topic so if you missed it the first time, now is a good time to read it. Spoiler alert: Secure client portals are a much better way to share confidential information with your clients than unsecured, unencrypted email attachments.

If you have a laptop computer you should seriously consider encrypting the hard drive.

For reference I suggest reading “Encryption Made Easier: The Basics of Keeping Your Data Secure” by Sharon D. Nelson and John W. Simek along with another post that has been circulating online recently “How to Encrypt Your Entire Life in Less Than an Hour” by Quincy Larson of FreeCodeCamp. One note about some content in the Larson article is that the Tor browser is really for expert users. It can also be used as a gateway to those parts of the  internet you may have heard of but don’t want to visit. Duane Croft wrote about the Tor browser for the Oklahoma Bar Journal in 2013.
