From Cypherpunks to Crypto Priests: Mastering PGP
Trace the lineage of digital priesthood from the cypherpunk prophets to the modern crypto priests in this empowering workshop dedicated to mastering PGP. Uncover the ancient wisdom enshrined in Pretty Good Privacy (PGP), a venerated tool passed down through generations of privacy advocates. Learn to wield its cryptographic power to protect your communications and safeguard your digital sanctuary in a world rife with surveillance.

"From Cypherpunks to Crypto Priests: Mastering PGP" is a hands-on workshop that will equip you with the knowledge and skills to use PGP effectively.

  • Explore the historical and philosophical roots of PGP, tracing its origins in the cypherpunk movement and its enduring relevance in the age of mass surveillance.
  • Delve into the core concepts of PGP, including public and private keys, encryption, and digital signatures, understanding how these cryptographic principles safeguard your privacy.
  • Receive practical guidance on setting up and using PGP, learning how to encrypt your emails, files, and other sensitive information.

This workshop will demystify the seemingly complex world of PGP, empowering you to take control of your digital security and become a true crypto priest, safeguarding your own data and guiding others towards digital sanctuary.

The workshop will particularly focus on the "genesis" aspect of key generation, aligning with the Church of Cryptography's emphasis on foundational principles. Keyfork, a tool for secure key generation, will be introduced as a modern-day embodiment of cypherpunk ideals.

This workshop is suitable for both beginners and those with some prior experience with privacy-enhancing tools.
