A practical workshop for anyone interested in keeping their digital lives private.

Bring your laptops, desktops, netbooks, tablets and phones - we'll help you secure them and your communications:

  * full disk encryption for your computers and memory sticks;
  * encrypted email, text messages, IM on all your devices;
  * anonymous browsing and tracker-avoidance;
  * censorship circumvention;
  * password generation, databases and management;
  * keysigning / extending the web-of-trust.

If you have knowledge and skills to contribute in these or related areas please come along and share them with us!

Plus:

  * ad-hoc discussion of the laws that govern who can access your stuff and when; and, at some point in the evening,
  * our regular round-up and discussion of the latest digital-rights news, opinions, and happenings.

You don't have to [[http://orgshef-13-07.eventbrite.co.uk/|sign up]] to come along - but if you do it helps us to avoid exceeding the venue capacity. Pseudonymous sign-ups are fine!

Drop in for a few minutes to ask a question or stay all evening and chat about privacy, security, and the intarwebz.
