New Yorker generally don't have any experience with creating infographics, so this is probably part of the reason why it is so bad. I transcribed it for you:
1. Access the Tor network
2. Upload and submit your files or messages. You'll receive a randomly generated code name.
3. The files are encrypted using P.G.P. (sic) and transmitted to a server separate from the rest of the Condé Nast network.
4. New Yorker editors check the dedicated Strongbox server for enw material, using a laptop with a V.P.N. connection.
5. New Yorker editors download the encrypted files to a thumb drive.
6. A second laptop, not connected to the Internet, is booted up from a live CD and erased each time it is powered on.
7. A second thumb drive, containing P.G.P. decryption keys, is connected to the laptop.
8. New Yorker editors plug the first thumb drive into the unconnected laptop, download and decrypt the documents.
9. New Yorker editors will be able to send you a response. This message will only be visible if you return to Strongbox and use your code name.
- eli 13y agoI would assume PGP is correct as written: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy (Not to be confused with GPG, which is an open source implementation of the same protocol).
- kmfrk 13y agoI was just referring to the classic New Yorker style of putting all the periods in the acronym. :) Shame there wasn't an excuse to use a diaeresis.
- jack-r-abbit 13y agoInteresting that they didn't feel the need to write "C.D." though. I guess that one has been around long enough that it no longer is viewed as an acronym?
- tptacek 13y agoThe New Yorker style guide mandates periods in acronyms. It's pretty goofy.
