About Cryptoparty

Privacy is a human right.

To regain control of your own privacy in the digital world you should get to know the technologies of cryptography and anonymization.

A wide range of tools can help you to do just that. At a CryptoParty you can learn what's available and how to use it. Or you want to teach others? Then of course you're very much welcome, too.

All CryptoParties follow the guiding principles:

• Excellence
• Do-ocracy
• Sudo Leadership
• No Harassment
• As Simple As Possible
• Free to Attend

Learning is always an individual process. Hence we will have separate tables for each topic. Just pick the one you're most interested in.
