Power to the People: The Encryption Summit

We are living in a golden age of encryption, when more people have access to this key security technology than ever before.

Encryption empowers people to connect with others, build community, and live their lives to the fullest. Yet an increasing number of governments around the world see encryption as an obstacle and are enacting new regulations that would put our privacy and security at risk.

The Internet Society, together with other members of the Global Encryption Coalition Steering Committee, is proud to host ‘Power to the People: The Encryption Summit.’ This marquee event seeks to celebrate the many ways in which encryption makes us powerful, investigate the regulatory challenges facing encryption, and unite our community.

Join us to participate in a pivotal movement shaping the future of online privacy and security.
