<metaname="description"content="CryptoParty is an event in April of 2018 that focuses on the attendee's digital privacy and ability to protect their data.">
Learn how to protect your digital privacy at this workshop hosted by Mason Competitive Cyber and Mason SRCT. You'll learn how to ensure the integrity and privacy of your data from a wide variety of potential threats, from government actors to a friend you leave alone with your laptop. End the afternoon reassured your data will be far less likely to be spied on or stolen. We will be providing breakfast, lunch and snacks to everyone attending.
</p>
<p>
<strong>CryptoParty 2018</strong> is organized by Mason student organizations
<ahref="https://srct.gmu.edu/">Student-Run Computing and Technology</a> and <ahref="https://competitivecyber.club">Mason Competitive Cyber</a>, with
financial support from the <ahref="https://volgenau.gmu.edu/program/view/20490">Cybersecurity Engineering program</a> and <ahref="https://ece.gmu.edu/">ECE department</a>.
</p>

<divclass="col-md-6 slight-bump">
<p>
Keeping your data private and secure is an issue of concern for more than just engineering students. Students from all disciplinary backgrounds are encouraged to join, especially from degree programs like English, journalism, and government, but note you'll largely be on your own if you intend to participate in the CTF. We will open with demonstrations to show you why it's important to protect your digital privacy, go through a series of workshops, <strike>a keynote</strike>, and discussions. Swing by!<br/>
<b>CryptoParty 2018 will be hosted March 3rd in HUB Rooms 3-4-5. <b>Please bring a laptop</b>. Confused about directions on campus? <ahref="/where.html">Click here.</a></b>

<h3>Keynote</h3>
Unfortunately due to the rescheduling we had to cancel the keynote!
<!-- We're excited to announce our keynote will be provided by Aliya Sternstein, a freelance journalist who's written pieces such as <b><a href="https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/04/fbi-allays-some-critics-with-first-use-of-new-mass-hacking-warrant/">FBI allays some critics with first use of new mass-hacking warrant (Ars Technica)</a></b> and <b><a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/airlines-are-giving-your-face-to-the-government">Airlines Are Giving Your Face to Homeland Security (Daily Beast)</a></b>. -->
The CTF will be rather advanced to encourage more beginning participants to take part in the actual workshop. Presently, we have funding for all of our prizes. Prizes include Yubikeys and (pending further funding) a full Raspberry Pi kit. We reserve the right to pause the CTF and halt any competition during the speaker. <b>We are limiting registration for this now, so please email masoncc+cryptoparty@gmu.edu if you want to participate in the CTF so we can get a more accurate depiction of it.</b>
</p>

We encourage those of you who are still starting out to participate in the workshop unless you've done a CTF before. It'll be jeopardy style, with a focus on challenges generally categorized as cryptography, but as we want to host a challenging one and we can't source too many cryptography experts while maintaining the overall quality of the event, it will include other conventional CTF categories.
