~MultiWikiServer is a new development that drastically improves ~TiddlyWiki's capabilities when running as server under Node.js. It brings ~TiddlyWiki up to par with common web-based tools like ~WordPress or ~MediaWiki by supporting multiple wikis and multiple users at the same time.
Planned features include:

TiddlyWiki is unique in that ordinary people without special training can use it securely and privately. It is easy to apply the advice from the EFF to ~TiddlyWiki. The key is that ~TiddlyWiki is just a file, and so everything that users may have already learned about how to keep documents and images private can be applied to ~TiddlyWiki.

TiddlyWiki is unique in that ordinary people without special training can use it securely and privately. It is easy to apply the advice from the EFF to ~TiddlyWiki. The key is that ~TiddlyWiki is just a text file, or a folder of files. Everything that users may have already learned about how to keep documents and images private can be applied to ~TiddlyWiki.
Because data is stored in simple text files, people choosing to use ~TiddlyWiki today can be confident that their data will still be accessible in the decades to come.

An important aspect of ~TiddlyWiki's claims in the area of security and privacy is that these claims can be readily verified by anyone with basic technical skills. For example, the network monitoring tools built into browsers allow users to verify that ~TiddlyWiki doesn't send any data to other servers. Similarly anyone can open a ~TiddlyWiki HTML file in an editor and verify that their data is readily accessible.
! Single File Configuration
! ~TiddlyWiki Configurations
~TiddlyWiki can be used in two main configurations:
* As a single HTML file that contains all the data and code. This is the simplest configuration, and the most widely supported. Popular services like [[Tiddlyhost]] are based on the single file configuration
** See [[Saving]] for a listing of all the different ways to save a single file ~TiddlyWiki
* As a Node.js application that runs a web server. This configuration is more powerful, but requires more technical knowledge to set up and maintain. See:
** [[Installing TiddlyWiki on Node.js]]
** [[Using TiddlyWiki on Node.js]]
The security and privacy implications of the two configurations are different.
!! Single File Configuration
As a practical matter, using ~TiddlyWiki securely and privately in the single file configuration depends upon keeping that single file securely and privately.

So, cautious users may wish to use ~TiddlyWiki's built in encryption as an extra layer of security, but should take care not to rely on it as one would rely on industry standard encryption solutions that have been rigorously tested in a variety of situations.

Using ~TiddlyWiki in the Node.js configuration requires more technical knowledge than the single file edition. There are several important areas with respect to security and privacy.

If security and privacy are important to you then you need to take the best available advice, and the best place for that is specialist organisations that focus on this area. The Electronic Frontier Foundation in the US is well respected, and their advice would be a good place to start. It emphasises basics such as dealing with passwords and two factor authentication, but also explains more advanced topics such as making a security plan, and how to set up a device securely.
