December 2018 CryptoParty introduction (Silkie & Fabio)
7pm: Workshop Time!
| Trainer | Workshop | Description |
|---|---|---|
| @gouttegd | Happy Gnu Year | Our brilliant regular trainer Damien will teach you about GPG encryption for private communications - and for those of who aren't new to this, will also explore new features brought by #GnuPG ≥ 2.1: ECC keys, trust-on-first-use trust models, and new key distribution methods. |
| @silkiecarlo | MistleTOR + Wine | You'll learn how and why to browse the web totally anonymously on your phone and laptop (bring both). Plus, we'll install and practice using OnionShare - a simple and free tool that allows you to anonymously share files. |
| @spyblog | Secret Santa Online | What is a VPN? How, when and why should you use one? How can I browse on my phone with more privacy? Find out in @spyblog's workshop.Link to Slides (.pptx) PLUS his regular Anonymity SwapShop - bring along spare social media accounts, SIM Cards, burner phones, Oyster Travel Cards etc. to swap or barter with other people, to help break the financial and CCTV purchase trails. |
8pm Lightning Talks - 5 minute mind-blowing talks!
| Speaker | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Griff Ferris | Watching the Watchers | I watched police using live facial recognition - this is what I saw. Griff Ferris is Legal & Policy Officer at civil liberties campaign organisation Big Brother Watch. |
| Maddalena Esposito | The Risks of Civic Engagement Online | Civic engagement online is widely viewed as 'a good thing' - but could it be subverted? Maddalena Esposito shares her deep research on Italy's populist Five Star Movement and the utilisation of online communities in the construction of popular will. |
| Asad Rizvi | Informational Decolonisation | Asad Rizvi draws parallels between the age of discovery and the appropriation of cyberspace. Wholesale data collection renders us non-citizens in the digital world, and vulnerable to informational violence in the offline world. Could the German Constitution offer a legal solution? |
9pm til late: Music
About
Why CryptoParty?
Privacy is the space in which ideas are developed, to retreat into whenever you want. This space is not only physical but digital as well. Governments and companies don't want to respect that so we become active ourselves.
What is a CryptoParty?
CryptoParties are free and open for everyone, but especially those without prior knowledge, who haven't yet attended one.
CryptoParty is a decentralized movement with events happening all over the world. The goal is to pass on knowledge about protecting yourself in the digital space. This can include encrypted communication, preventing being tracked while browsing the web and general security advice for computers and smartphones.
To try the programs and apps at the CryptoParty bring your laptop or smartphone.
