Digital Literacy 101 — Protecting Your Digital Identity with James O’Keefe: noon to 2 p.m. Sept. 17, Central Library Auditorium. Mass surveillance of the public, targeted surveillance of minorities, corporate surveillance of consumers. It seems like there is a lot to be afraid of these days, with every move we make being tracked and documented for future reference. It’s clear that our digital communications are simply not secure unless we go out of our way to defend our human right to privacy. One way to become strong is to arm ourselves with information and skills. Despite the scary state of the world, there are things we can do to empower ourselves from the surveillance machine: We can embrace cryptography and defend our right to free speech. Here are some of the topics we will try to cover: Identifying what you want to protect, who you want to protect them from and what measures you can take to protect them. How to choose secure passphrases that you can remember and how to use a password manager to maintain all of the passphrases you likely have. Browsing websites securely. Identifying and protecting yourself from phishing attempts. Steps you can take to protect your computer or phone should it get stolen or taken from you. Using privacy protecting tools such as Signal, Tor and Virtual Private Networks. For more information, contact Tim at tdevin@minlib.net or call 617-623-5000, ext. 2963
