This is a hands-on workshop where participants learn to use GPG for email encryption, facilitated by the Free Software Foundation (FSF). Participants will help improve the FSF email self-d efense guide through real-time feedback. By the end of the workshop, you will not only be able to send encrypted email to friends and family, but also help teach others the skills of email self-defense and protecting yourself from bulk surveillance.
