Interactivist Network

Security Workshops

Please Note:

The Interactivist Network has not been active for some time.

A few of our projects have fallen off the internet. Some have lived on, or been reborn. Some of our work continues within other organizations. But we have not done work under the Interactivist banner in some time.

We are reviving this site to serve as a document of the work we did in the late 1990s through the late 2000s. (February 2021).

New Tools require new understanding of privacy and security. The digital age has put powerful tools in the hands of activists, allowing us to organize on a level that we could not before. At the same time, it has created new ways to get ourselves in trouble.

Interactivist periodically hosts workshops on securing e-mail communication and other data on your computer.

Taking data and obscuring it so others can not easily read it is generally refered to as encryption. The tool of choice for this is called PGP (as well as the opensource replacement GPG).

These workshops cover the basics of what PGP is and why it it important, as well as how to install and run PGP on your own computer.

As well our workshops review the social and cultural aspects to online security and security culture.
