This document outlines the topics that will be covered at an upcoming CryptoParty event. The event will introduce participants to basic cryptography tools to help spread knowledge and privacy in a fun, public setting. It will cover tools like PGP/GPG for encrypting email, Tor for anonymity online, and Tails for secure operating systems. The goal is to educate people about digital privacy and security as mass government surveillance increases. Participants will learn practical skills over complex theory and have opportunities to network with others.
