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.

Program

Roland Wen: Electronic Voting in Australia

Trump is President … with a little help from Putin. The Russian Government carried out an extensive campaign to influence the US Presidential Election. This included infiltrating the systems of political parties and election management bodies. These activities raised questions about whether Russia may have compromised e-voting systems to rig the election, and reignited debate on the trustworthiness of election technology.

In this talk I'll give a rundown of what happened in the US and the problems with their e-voting systems, as well as Internet voting and other election technology used in Australia. I'll also discuss concerns over privacy, integrity, transparency and trust.

Roland Wen is a visiting fellow at UNSW Australia
