Reference Registry - Privacy, Anonymity & OPSEC
Propósito
Esta nota estandariza las referencias para la rama Privacidad, Anonimato y OPSEC.
Usala para:
- mantener las notas de privacidad y anonimato vinculadas a fuentes oficiales, prácticas y de alta señal
- evitar el desvío hacia marketing de proveedores, listas de VPN y proliferación de rankings de herramientas
- evaluar afirmaciones a través de threat models, límites de confianza, metadatos y modos de falla operacionales
- ayudar a los agentes futuros a elegir referencias consistentes
Regla de fuente de verdad
Para las notas bajo Privacy, Anonymity & OPSEC, este registry es la fuente primaria de verdad.
Usalo junto con:
- Reference Registry - Networking
- Reference Registry - OSINT
- Reference Registry - Web Security
- Reference Registry - DevSecOps

Reglas de uso del registry
- Elegir el conjunto de referencias más pequeño que soporte la nota exacta.
- Preferir docs oficiales del proyecto para el comportamiento de herramientas y EFF/NIST/OWASP para el encuadre del threat model.
- No citar marketing de proveedores de VPN como evidencia para afirmaciones generales sobre VPN.
- Cuando se discuten afirmaciones de proveedores, etiquetarlas como afirmaciones y evaluarlas a través de auditorías, arquitectura, jurisdicción, incentivos e historial observado.
- Para notas que involucren personas, cuentas o datos personales sensibles, incluir una referencia de ética/seguridad y mantener los ejemplos defensivos.
