As the trend is to store more information on the web and use the local PC purely as a view device you ought to consider how that might effect privacy too. JungleDisk various other encrypted FuSE filesystems One thing you left off is making sure that the local PC can not be exploited or compromised. So firewalls and robust OS'es should be on the list. Local storage (and swap space?) should be encrypted: Ubuntu has encrypted folder EncFS TrueCrypt There are other 'concealment' applications which hide a small amount of data in a lot of noise. These can provide a certain amount of plausible denialability, such as: http://www.winstonsmith.info/julia/elettra/ http://iq.org/~proff/rubberhose.org/ Ultimately anything that leaves the network that you control can be intercepted/monitored, even if encrypted. Given the determination and enough (CPU) time any encryption can be broken. There are also legal methods for encouraging people to surrender plain-text and/or keys. Local hardware protection ranging from biometric authenication, IronKey USB drives, Ubikeys, etc. You can implement no-end of 'machine protection' schemes.
