<p><b>New page</b></p><div>A '''CryptoParty''' is a public event in which people are introduced to the basic concepts of practical cryptography; typically involving topics such as Tor, public key cryptography, disk encryption, email encryption, and encrypted off-the-record instant messaging. Further background on the origin of cryptoparties [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CryptoParty may be found on Wikipedia].<br />
<br />
This page is an active project for crowdsourcing and developing resources for running a successful CryptoParty. For collaborating upon resources for CryptoParties, please check the [http://sab.uspirates.org State Advisory Board mailing list], and also the [[Talk:CryptoPartyGuide|Talk page of this article]].<br />
<br />
== Requirements ==<br />
Before having a cryptoparty, these requirements should be met:<br />
* '''Public Location'''<br />
** Capable of having 15 guests at minimum.<br />
** If nearby parking is limited, then include on the event announcement or flyer, of the proper location for parking.<br />
* '''Internet access''': Required for allowing people to download cryptography software directly from their source<br />
** If network bandwidth is limited, it's recommended to have a caching proxy, to speed up the process of large file downloads<br />
* '''Public Announcement'''<br />
** The CryptoParty should be announced no later than a week from the planned time.<br />
** The event should be announced on social networks as an event, and shared<br />
** Notify your State party, and/or the United States Pirate Party, to get additional awareness of your cryptoparty.<br />
* '''Bring Your Own Device'''<br />
** It should be noted in any public announcement, that participants should bring their computer along, to get the most out of the event<br />
** If you intend people to bring their desktop computers as well, then have tables, and note of whether or not that monitors will be provided (in the announcement).<br />
<br />
== Recommended Software ==<br />
* '''Email Encryption'''<br />
** [http://www.enigmail.net/ Enigmail], a PGP extension for [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ Thunderbird].<br />
* '''Encrypted Off-The-Record Messaging'''<br />
** [http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/ Pidgin OTR], an OTR extension for Pidgin, allowing encrypted discussion on all instant messaging protocols that Pidgin supports (Google Talk, Yahoo, Windows Live, Facebook Chat, etc)<br />
** [https://crypto.cat/ Cryptocat], a web-based application supporting one-on-one and group encrypted OTR discussions.<br />
* '''Disk Encryption'''<br />
** [http://www.truecrypt.org/ TrueCrypt], a cross-platform disk encryption tool.<br />
** Ubuntu's built-in home folder encryption<br />
