Starship Factory, the Pirate Party Basel and Freifunk 3Ländereck are organizing a Crypto Party this September.
You'd like to learn using encryption in a simple way? In a relaxed and respectful atmosphere? Then you're very welcome to come to our Crypto Party.
No prior knowledge required. Curiosity and a willingness to learn is all that's required. Just bring your Linux, Mac or Windows laptop.
Date
As 6 topics were deemed too much for just one day, we split them up into two days.
- September 12, 2015: PGP (encrypting e-mails and files), Freifunk/OpenWireless (secure, uncensored and crowdsourced internet access), Tor (anonymous browsing)
- September 26, 2015: VeraCrypt (disk/USB storage encryption), OTR (chat encryption) and operational security
Timeline
The timetable for the two event days is as follows:
September 12, 2015
