How the internet works (Totem)

No clouds, just cables: explore the internet with us. Can you still picture life without the internet? In the last decade or so, the internet has cemented its place at the centre of many aspects of our lives: social communication, work, research, banking, shopping, storing photos and videos; we are heavily dependent on it. But most of us never really question how the internet works - until, perhaps, something breaks down and information is lost, or we are prevented from accessing a website or account.

E-Mail-Nutzer/innen können sich weder sicher sein, dass niemand die Nachrichten mitliest, noch dass diese auch unverändert bei den Empfänger/innen ankommen. Um geeignete Sicherheitsmaßnahmen - die sogenannte Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung sowie digitale Signaturen - müssen sich alle Nutzer/innen selbst kümmern.
