6078cb8e 82 <p>Understanding and setting up email encryption sounds like a daunting task to many people. That's why helping your friends with GnuPG plays such an important role in helping spread encryption. Even if only one person shows up, that's still one more person using encryption who wasn't before. You have the power to help your friends keep their digital love letters private, and teach them about the importance of free software. If you use GnuPG to send and receive encrypted email, you're a perfect candidate for leading a workshop!</p>

e64d9809 97 <p>If you hear friends grumbling about their lack of privacy, ask them if they're interested in attending a workshop on Email Self-Defense. If your friends don't grumble about privacy, they may need some convincing. You might even hear the classic "if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear" argument against using encryption.</p>

9fcfafe0 110 <p>Each person who chooses to resist mass surveillance with encryption makes it easier for others to resist as well. People normalizing the use of strong encryption has multiple powerful effects: it means those that truly need privacy, like potential whistle-blowers and activists, are more likely to learn about encryption. More people using encryption for more things also makes it harder for surveillance systems to single out those that can't afford to be found, and shows solidarity with those people.</p>

115 <p>Many journalists, whistleblowers, activists, and researchers use GnuPG, so your friends might unknowingly have heard of a few people who use it already.

120 <p>There's no objective way to judge what constitutes a privacy-sensitive correspondence. As such, it's better not to presume that just because you find an email you sent to a friend innocuous, your friend (or a surveillance agent, for that matter!) feels the same way. Show your friends respect by encrypting your correspondences with them.</p>

2a2efbd7 140 <h2><em>#2</em> Plan The Workshop</h2>
e64d9809 141 <p>Once you've got at least one interested friend, pick a date and start planning out the workshop. Tell participants to bring their computer and ID (for signing each other's keys). Also tell the participants to bring dice (for making passwords), but also bring as many as you can, in case they don't. Make sure the location you select has an easily accessible Internet connection, and make backup plans in case the connection stops working on the day of the workshop. Libraries, coffee shops, and community centers make great locations. Try to get all the participants to set up an Enigmail-compatible email client before the event. Direct them to their email provider's IT department or help page if they run into errors.<p>
2a2efbd7
AL
142 <p>Estimate that the workshop will take forty minutes plus ten minutes for each participant, at a minimum. Plan extra time for questions and technical glitches.</p>
143 <p>The success of the workshop requires understanding and catering to the unique backgrounds and needs of each group of participants. Workshops should stay small, so that each participant receives more individualized instruction. If more than a handful of people want to participate, keep the facilitator to participant ratio low by recruiting more facilitators, or by facilitating multiple workshops. Small workshops among friends work great!</p>

156 <h2><em>#3</em> Follow the guide as a group</h2>
157 <p>Work through the Email Self-Defense guide a step at time as a group. Talk about the steps in detail, but make sure not to overload the participants with minutia. Pitch the bulk of your instructions to the least tech-savvy participants. Make sure all the participants complete each step before the group moves on to the next one. Consider facilitating secondary workshops afterwards for people that had trouble grasping the concepts, or those that grasped them quickly and want to learn more.</p>
158 <p>Even powerful surveillance systems can't break private keys when they're protected by lengthy Diceware passphrases. Make sure participants use the Diceware method, if dice are available. Stress the importance of eventually destroying the piece of paper the Diceware password is written on, and make sure all the participants back up their revocation certificates.</p>
e64d9809 159 <p>In <a href="index.html#section2">Section 2</a> of the guide, make sure the participants upload their keys to the same keyserver so that they can immediately download each other's keys later (sometimes there is a delay in synchronization between keyservers). During <a href="index.html#section3">Section 3</a>, give the participants the option to send encrypted messages to each other instead of or as well as Edward. Similarly, in <a href="index.html#section4">Section 4</a>, encourage the participants to sign each other's keys.</p>

c907f9f1 171 <h2><em>#4</em> Explain the pitfalls</h2>
12727276 172 <p>Remind participants that encryption works only when it's explicitly used; they won't be able to send an encrypted email to someone who hasn't already set up encryption. Also remind participants to double-check the encryption icon before hitting send, and that subjects and timestamps are never encrypted. See the guide's <a href="index.html#step-headers_unencrypted">Security Tips</a> subsection for more information.</p>
c907f9f1 173 <p>Advocate for free software, because without it, we can't <a href="https://www.fsf.org/bulletin/2013/fall/how-can-free-software-protect-us-from-surveillance">meaningfully resist invasions of our digital privacy and autonomy</a>. Explain the <a href="https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/proprietary.html">dangers of running a proprietary system</a>, and why GnuPG <a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/proprietary-surveillance.html">can't begin to mitigate them</a>.</p>
