Cryptoparty CryptoParty is a decentralised, global initiative to introduce basic cryptography tools - such as the Tor anonymity network, public key encryption (PGP/GPG), and OTR (Off The Record messaging) - to the general public.

- 5. “No system of mass surveillance has existed in any society that we know of to this point that has not been abused.” - Edward Snowden
- 6. “They can bypass encryption anyway, so what’s the point?” “They can spy all they like. I’ve got nothing to hide.” What’s the point?
- 7. “Privacy is about the autonomy, dignity, and self-determination of people — and it’s a necessary precondition for democracy.”
- 9. What’s the minimum we should do? ● Check that we haven’t already been compromised ● Password good practices and install password manager ● Protect yourself from tracking ● Install a VPN ● Get encrypted email ● Use an encrypted messenger ● Set up 2FA

- 24. Email Encryption “We looked at 2,515 Washington journalists with permanent credentials to cover Congress, and we found only 2.5 percent of them solicit end-to-end encrypted communication via their Twitter bios. That's just 62 out of all the broadcast, newspaper, wire service, and digital reporters. Just 28 list a way to reach them via Signal or another secure messaging app. Only 22 provide a PGP public key, a method that allows sources to send encrypted messages.” - Bruce Schneier - Chief Technology Officer of IBM Resilient, a fellow at Harvard's Berkman Center, and a board member of EFF.
