Details: 4:30pm - 6pm in Wilson Media Lab, RSVP here
Description: With political and social polarization at work in this country, we believe that activists and allies will need to protect themselves from increased surveillance, harassment, doxxing, and other digital dangers. DLINQ’s Activists and Allies Cryptoparty aims to help protect people who are on the front lines of activism in our community and country, and/or people who work with and support marginalized communities.
4:30 - 5pm Introduction and threat modeling activity
Ground rules
Be excellent to each other
No harassment tolerated
Permission to ask silly questions granted - we are always learning!
Honor the vault of confidentiality
Other people’s keyboards are lava!
Threat modeling
<aside> 💡 A way of thinking about the sorts of protection you want for your data so you can decide which potential threats you are going to take seriously. It's impossible to protect against every kind of trick or adversary, so you should concentrate on which people might want your data, what they might want from it, and how they might get it. Coming up with a set of possible threats you plan to protect against is called threat modeling or assessing your risks. https://ssd.eff.org/en/glossary/threat-model
