"Organise organically and chaotically. Have no clear leadership. Urge people to take on a sudo leadership role."//

==== Intro ====

**Learn to secure your online communication!** \\
//
Governments around the world, are greatly increasing their surveillance of the Internet. This also represents a clear danger to basic civil liberties alongside the loss of the private sphere. We already have the solution: encrypting communications makes it very hard, if not entirely impossible, for others to eavesdrop on our conversations."// ([[https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121009/06132920660/cryptoparty-like-its-1993.shtml|Source]])

**So let's go and have a party, and teach each other how to use crypto! Cause its also fun to play around, and shape the place you are living in! **


==== What? ====

  * sva will give an **introduction** into basic usage principles of encryption and some of the usual ways to encrypt communication online.

  * have your **hands-on** all your devices, install software, generate keys and learn how to use them. Be surprised how easy some things are; but you might also start ranting about some others and start thinking about how to make it better. We are the ones how can actually do that.

  * Special challenge for latenight geeking, if someone is up for: PGP/GPG subkeys.


==== Date? ====

**Wednesday, May 21st, 2014**


==== Time? ====

We unfortunately only have the weekday, but for having hands-on and introduction and the party... we need to start early. For the advantage for the non-students outside willing to find the time for the introduction to gain some compressed knowledge, I propose the following:

  * 5pm: email encryption (PGP/GPG) + hands-on-all-devices
  * 7pm: main introduction / overview
  * 8pm: hands-on (open end)

If 5pm is too early for you, pls mention [[http://www.cryptoparty.in/kanpur#Who?|in the list below]], or answer [[http://twitter.com/sva|@sva]].


==== Place? ====

Room CS101, Department of CSE, IIT Kanpur. Pls add your name below that we know how many people would come.


==== Who? ====


**Everyone is invited!**
Do not hesitate to join if you don't crypto at all, but even more important if you are already an expert!
