On October 21st, the Massachusetts Pirate Party, ACLU of Massachsetts, Tor Project, and Occupy Boston IT organized a cryptoparty. The event was held at the Sprouts in Somerville, and several dozen people came during the day to learn about security, privacy, and the use of various security and privacy enhancing technologies.
Many of the presentations were recorded. Here’s one of the Tor Project’s Andrew Lewman, giving a talk called “Encrypt to Live”.
You can see more videos via the Tor project’s media server:
