Location: Llandoger Trow

Meet Andrew and Nigel, a lawyer and a cypographist, they will discuss with you the development of technology in Bristol that allows parties to compute on encrypted data, without ever seeing it! We'll also have a chance to talk about the legal aspects related to the surveillance being carried out by government and companies. Are YOU being watched?

Cryptography - Crypto-what?

Andrew and Nigel will introduce the technology of encryption and explain how it is used today to secure our digital world. They will then explain why governments and companies would rather (often) not have encryption as they want to access your personal data for their own ends. We will have a chance to discuss how this affects your security!
