CRYPTO PARTY
Wednesday May 25th, 6-9pm @ Parts and Crafts in Somerville (577 Somerville Ave). Wheelchair accessible. Free
Come join our monthly “CRYPTO PARTY” event where we learn about encryption tools and how we can protect our privacy against the surveillance state.
It’s not really a “party”, more like a potluck where we hang out with computers and try to get rid of the fear that the panopticon wants us to live under. Bring your questions, your laptops, phones and devices and together we will help set you up with various tools to encrypt your communication an be anonymous on the internet.
Topics we can cover: PGP email encryption, Tor browser, Tails, secure text messaging/ chats/ video calls, key signing, mesh networking, how to install linux onto your computer… and more!
Around 6:30 we will start introductions, where everyone can say what they’re interested in learning, what they’re available to teach what topics you want to discuss. Then we’ll break into groups depending on what people want to do.
Bring snacks! Bring yourself + a friend and all those questions about “what do I download?” and “what’s a public key?” We are here for you. Join us, learn stuff, and then the next time, you can be a “crypto angel” by teaching a new person something too!
