Global Encryption Day 2023

Strong encryption keeps us safe online, and even offline.

Strong encryption is the standard that is keeping billions of people safe every day. We need to push back against government efforts to undermine it.

Every 21 October, we come together to be part of an annual day of action, when civil society organizations, businesses, technologists, and millions of Internet users across the world come together to promote, protect and defend strong encryption.

With over 75 events held worldwide and the launch of the first Power to the People Summit, Global Encryption Day 2023 was a great success! Watch the video that captures the event highlights.
