Hi all,
Digital Security Workshop with Tor Project
Surfing the web can be risky: corporations and governments are tracking what you do online. But, using Tor you can avoid censorship and online surveillance. In this activity, you will learn what the Tor network is, what’s the onion routing and how it’s different from a VPN, how to install Tor browser and other digital secure tools. If you already use Tor, we’re excited to learn about your experience using it, teaching and talking about Tor.
In this workshop you will also learn about the Global South Initiative and how you can collaborate with Tor Project. We would like to collect UX feedback and to do UX testing with the group. There will be another talk about SecureDrop project.
The Tor Project is a nonprofit organization based on Seattle, United States, that advances human rights and freedoms by creating and deploying free and open source anonymity and privacy technologies. https://torproject.org
SecureDrop is an open source whistleblower submission system that media organizations and NGOs can install to securely accept documents from anonymous sources. It was originally created by the late Aaron Swartz and is now managed by Freedom of the Press Foundation.
Speakers:
* Gustavo Gus - works at The Tor Project as Community Liaison in Global South. Currently based on Brazil, where he helps to organize CryptoRave, a massive 24hours cryptoparty in São Paulo, Brazil.
* Pili Guerra - works at The Tor Project as Project Manager for UX, Community and Tor Browser teams. Based on Spain, she works with free software and IT management.
* Kushal Das - CPython core developer and SecureDrop maintainer, works at Freedom of the Press Foundation. In The Tor Project, Kushal is part of community team.
Location: IITB, Time: 10AM.
