Event overview
Getting serious about web anonymity
Ain't No Party Like a CryptoParty!
Want to keep your emails private? Creeped out by websites that track your browsing habits? Feeling stalked by social networks? Then come on down to the first Goldsmiths CryptoParty, part of a global movement of people teaching each other the basics of crypto programs and how to use them.
"It's like a Tupperware party for learning crypto" - Cory Doctorow
This isn't an event for geeks but for anyone who wants to know the basic steps of protecting themselves and their data from intrusive surveillance. We'll be sharing skills on how to have private conversations over instant messaging, how to encrypt emails, how to browse anonymously and how to encrypt your hard disk.
"Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world." ~ Cypherpunk Manifesto, 1993
