Computer Security Conference in Gothenburg 16-17th of june
Christopher Kullenberg June 6th, 2010
On the 16th and 17th of June, the Telecomix Crypto Munitions Bureau will hold a free conference and workshops in computer security, crypto anarchy and how to avoid surveillance and blocking on the internet.
Teheran, Gaza, China and Burma are recent examples of places where the internet has been under strict surveillance by governments, as it was used as integral parts of resistance practices.
From the Telecomix News Bureau Interfax:
As you may have become aware, computer networks, and the internet in particular, are under surveillance by both states and corporations. From east to west and north to south, the internets is a harsh environment. This is especially true for bloggers, dissidents and pirates.
With the aid of cryptography and security in mind however, this can be avoided. Varying between the very simple to the extraordinarily complex measures to conceal communications, users can render their internet footprints almost invisible.
The conference is free for everyone, and during the second day, the workshops will give instructions and training on how to use the encryption softwares. Bring your laptops! The event is held at IT-university at the Hisingen Island in Gothenburg. See the schedule here.
See you there!
