Workshop:
Hiding your online communications from internet inspection tools.
| In this workshop we will be discussing the technologies used by interested agencies to monitor internet communications, how and where they implement those technologies, the toolsets abilities and what they are doing with all that collected information. This includes a discussion of what they know, when they know it and what we can do about it. |
| Emails take a minimum of 3 hops over the internet to reach their destination. Hop 2 (between email providers email servers) is almost always an unencrypted transfer of email, so even though you may have encrypted hop1, the interested agency captures your email on hop2. What can we do about providing end-to-end encryption of email to team members that work in various parts of the world? |
| Open discussion amongst the group on the top 3 security issues their ministry faces and what security measures they put in place to prevent those issues in the future. (Top Secret Message: Every ministry I've talked to has been hacked already, they've all got a story... lets help one another by having an open discussion and listing possible security measures to put in place.) |
