 CryptoParties have taught thousands of people the basic ways of protecting themselves and their data from intrusive surveillance. London CryptoFestival will have skill-sharing sessions on how to have private conversations over instant messaging, how to encrypt emails, how to browse anonymously and how to reliably encrypt your hard disk amongst other things.

At  CryptoFestival we'll look at practical alternatives; from metadata-stripping to [[http://masspirates.org/blog/2013/08/29/928-cryptoparty-all-about-mesh-networks/|mesh networks]], from [[http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/08/mesh-internet-privacy-nsa-isp|autonomous community wifi]] to the potential of the ex-TV whitespace spectrum. But we'll also  discuss the forms of social solidarity and governance we need to sustain our global commons.   Governments and corporations have shown themselves to be untrustworthy stewards of the internet.
