Encryption is the process of scrambling a message so that it can only be unscrambled (and read) by the intended parties. The method by which you scramble the original message, or *plaintext*, is called the *cipher* or *encryption protocol*. In almost all cases, the cipher is not intended to be kept secret. The scrambled, unreadable, encrypted message is called the ciphertext and can be safely shared. Most ciphers require an additional piece of information called a *cryptographic key* to encrypt and decrypt (scramble and unscramble) messages.

Each website visited through the Tor network passes through 3 relays. Relays are servers operated by different people and organizations around the world. A single relay never knows both where the encrypted connection is coming from and where it is going to. An extract of a leaked Top Secret appraisal by the NSA characterized Tor as "the King of high secure, low latency Internet anonymity" with "no contenders for the throne in waiting". The Tor network can be accessed through the Tor Browser on any operating system. The operating system [Tails](#tails) forces every program to use the Tor network when accessing the Internet.

It is important to stress this to cut through the widespread marketing hype; [a VPN is not enough to keep you anonymous](https://www.ivpn.net/privacy-guides/will-a-vpn-protect-me/). Using a VPN can be thought of as simply shifting your trust from a local Internet Service Provider guaranteed to be a snitch to a remote one that claims to put limits on their ability to effectively snitch on you.
