"Cryptoza" is being prepared in Moscow

On November 3, as part of the international festival of activist art “Mediadar” in the small hall of the Artplay Center in Moscow, a “crypto -country” will be held - a workshop on the use of cryptography for secure communication and providing confidentiality.

“Computer technologies are on the verge of giving the opportunity to communicate and interact to individuals and groups absolutely anonymously. Two people will be able to exchange messages, engage in business, conclude electronic contracts, unable to establish genuine names, personalities of each other, ”wrote cryptoanarchists in their 1992 manifesto.

Technologies have long stepped over the threshold that the cryptoanarchists of the 90s spoke about, “But the wide masses do not yet know about it,” the “crypto-country” page says.

“In August 2012, the cipher-penalty gave birth to a new licbez format:“ Crypto-Electrician ”. This is a workshop, the purpose of which is to give practical skills to use cryptotechnologies. Tor, OTR, PGP - all this will no longer confuse you. - The organizers write. - You will learn how to bypass content prohibitions, send private messages to your friends and put an electronic signature. At the party you will need a laptop/tablet/phone and charger. ”
