Take the following scenario. You are travelling with family, you are staying at a strange hotel and are using their guest computers or even your own computer, in your room. Now you know these computers are running on some WiFi network, one that could be monitored by some hotel staff member or even some guy across the street sitting in a cafe. You want to transfer some money from one account to another or/and do some month end finances. So how is this going to be accomplished without the possibility of you and your accounts being hacked? Well, think of the latest version of a package called Tails: https://tails.boum.org If the application is installed on a USB or CDRom disk you can just boot into a "live" OS session, that is outside the existing network and is completely secure. Unless the remote receipt computer has been compromised there is absolutely no way you information can be hacked. When the data is being transferred back and forth, until it is displayed on your screen, no crooks, governments, businesses or even yourself can lock, block or read the data...it is absolutely encrypted...with military grade encryption.
