Edward Snowden continues to have an outsized role in the global discussion around surveillance and Internet rights.
CryptoRave,
perhaps the largest conference on cryptology and Internet privacy in
Latin America, kicked off Friday in São Paulo, Brazil. Several thousand
people, including young programmers, activists, hackers and
self-described “cyberpunks” of all types are expected to attend the
24-hour marathon of workshops, trainings, lectures, roundtables and,
yes, some parties, all dedicated to cryptology, or the practice of using
encoded digital communication to stop unwanted snooping.
