CryptoParty

Sprout, 339r Summer St, Somerville, MA | Get Directions »
FREE

Do you practice safe sex?  Learn the digital equivalent.

The government routinely spies on us without warrants.  Come learn how to protect yourself.

We are having a #cryptoparty.  You're invited.

When - Sunday, Oct. 21 from noon-6pm.  Come for an hour or the whole day.

Where - The Sprouts, 339R Summer St., Somerville near Davis Square and the Davis Square MBTA stop.

Sponsors - TOR Project, Free School University, Occupy Boston Information Tech Group, ACLU of Mass., Pirate & Privacy activists

What to Bring - Bring a laptop and yourself.

We will post where all applicable updates are so you should install them before you come to the party. Do not bring removable media to pass out to attendees, by definition it can't be trusted.

All software will have to be downloaded and cryptographically verified (don't worry, we'll teach you how to do that) by the attendee.

Sprout

339r Summer St, Somerville, MA
three.two.one-contact@thesprouts.org

This rather unique community science and education center is down a quiet street, seemingly miles from the very nearby Davis Square.  Sprout is "devoted to creating and supporting the community-driven, learning, teaching, and investigation of science."

Through personal crafts, programs and an open studio space, the studio creates programs, research projects and public seminars in the hopes of bringing people together in the name of science.
