CryptoParty is a grassroots global endeavor to introduce the basics of practical cryptography such as the Tor anonymity network, key signing parties, True Crypt, and virtual private networks to the general public.
The first draft of the 442-page CryptoParty Handbook (the hard copy of which is available at cost), was pulled together in three days using the book sprint approach, and was released 2012-10-04 under a CC-BY-SA license; it remains under constant revision.
The CryptoParty Handbook v1.1 has been released and you download or edit here
Why Privacy Matters
Privacy is a fundamental human right. It is recognized in many countries to be as central to individual human dignity and social values as Freedom of Association and Freedom of Speech. Simply put, privacy is the border where we draw a line between how far a society can intrude into our personal lives.
