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?

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.

CryptoParties are free and open for everyone, but especially ​those without prior knowledge, who haven't yet attended one.

To try the programs and apps at the CryptoParty bring your laptop and smartphone.

Helsinki Cryptoparty

Friday 19th February 2016, 17.00 Open Knowledge Finland Caloniuksenkatu 9D 64 00100 Helsinki

What?

A Cryptoparty aimed at helping those who wish to protect their privacy online, and learn more about how and why to do so. All levels of experience and abilities are warmly welcomed.

The event will have a brief introduction talk, but most of it will be focused on open discussions in groups and hands-on experience. The groups will allow everyone to find the best discussion topics in relation to their interests and background.

In general we will talk about encryption, tools to use and it's importance and benefits. We want most of all to create a dialogue on the topic between people from different fields.
