-=====The 2nd Annual HacDC CryptoParty is Nov 16=====+**HacDC Cryptoparty, Saturday January 28, 2017 10:30am-4pm.** 
 +[[http://www.hacdc.org|www.hacdc.org]]
  
-====Who==== +__Morning Session:__ 
-  * prefontaine (event organiser) +It's 2017 and cybersecurity affects our society daily. Come by HacDC for a layperson's introduction to cybersecurity and gain some insight to the problems and solutions behind recent headline-grabbing hacks. 
-  * ?? (supporter)  +
-  * YOU? Please volunteer to help with the event here by adding your name+
  
-====What==== +We will introduce concepts and terminology of computer security, common scams, how to improve your security, how encryption works and how it's already helping to keep you safe on the web. We'll also introduce applications for secure private messaging and anonymous web browsing. 
-The HacDC CryptoParty will cover topics aimed at helping you keep your data safe by learning how to use basic cryptography tools to protect the content of your data and — of particular interest because of recent revelations— to thwart common forms of surveillance.+
  
-Like many of us, your life is probably pretty normal and of course you have nothing to hide. You may even think that allowing the government to read citizens’ email is the price we all have to pay for security.+We'll describe phishing and spear-phishing scams, malicious websites and software, software flaws like buffer overflows, SQL injections, man-in-the-middle attacks and DNS poisoning, mitigation techniques and corporate bounty programs. We'll introduce hashing, encryption, digital signatures, certificate authorities, domain names and DNS security. We'll explain end-to-end email encryption with PGP, encrypted messaging using the Signal messaging app and anonymous web browsing using Tor. 
  
-But what if increased surveillance actually doesn’t keep us safer? What if the mere specter of surveillance suppresses your free expression? And what if you do have [[http://www.theguardian.com/technology/blog/2013/jun/14/nsa-prism |something that you want to keep private]] — for instance your sexual orientation, health status, political views, or that you’ve decided to stop practicing your religion?+RSVP: https://www.meetup.com/hac-dc/events/236764502/
  
-   Freedom of expression is the matrix, the indispensable condition, +__Afternoon Session:__ 
-   of nearly every other form of freedom. —Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo+After the morning's introduction to cybersecurity, join us for an afternoon of presentations and discussions on online privacy, security, US policy, law and other topics. We'll host speakers from Open Technology Fund (Radio Free Asia), Open Technology Institute (New America Foundation), the Mozilla Foundation and more. Stay tuned for updates.
  
-Like free speech and protection from unreasonable search and seizure, privacy is essential to civic engagement and a vibrant democracy. [[http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/02/why-does-privacy-matter-one-scholars-answer/273521/ |Privacy creates a safe, judgement-free space]] where people can play with new ideas and identities, think critically, and develop themselves. Privacy allows us to discover what type of society we want — and how we might engage with others to make that a reality. +RSVP: https://www.meetup.com/hac-dc/events/236764771/

-A CryptoParty is a fun way to learn how to protect your privacy by securing your Data in Use (your computer as you work), your [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_at_Rest |Data at Rest]] (your stored digital data), and your Data in Motion (your digital communications). We’ll cover the basics starting at 4pm, and will move on to more in depth topics later in the evening. The format will be hands-on and participatory, using an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference |unconference format]]. +
