How to communicate securely via email: A beginner's guide

Join us for the first meetup of 2017 for an email encryption class!

The first part of class will be a short presentation. The instructors will cover basic concepts of encryption and email security and why someone might want to use encrypted email. We'll then discuss some of the vulnerabilities of encrypted email and the basics of encryption itself.

The second part of class will be a hands on demonstration that will teach participants how to setup a GPG key, push their GPG key to a public key server, and trade their keys with their peers. Participants will have the opportunity to write and send and decrypt their own encrypted messages.

Please bring whatever kind of computer you would like to use. Instructors can help with set up on MacOS, Windows, or Linux.

Food & beer will be served.
