Authors *Francesca Musiani* and *Ksenia Ermoshina* will launch their new book '*Concealing for Freedom: The Making of Encryption, Secure Messaging and Digital Liberties <https://www.matteringpress.org/books/concealing-for-freedom>*' (Mattering Press), the first in-depth sociological inquiry in the field of secure communication. Current debates around encryption have fundamental implications for our individual liberties and collective presence on the Internet, while the cryptography community has renewed its efforts to create next-generation secure messaging protocols and applications. The webinar will show how these tools differ in their intended technical architectures, their targeted user publics, and the underlying values and business models. *SPEAKERS* *Francesca Musiani*, Deputy Director, Centre for Internet and Society, CNRS *Ksenia Ermoshina*, Researcher, Centre for Internet and Society, CNRS *MODERATOR* *Jo Pierson*, Professor of Responsible Digitalisation, Vrije Universiteit Brussel (imec-SMIT) & Hasselt University (R4D), Belgium *LIVESTREAM http://livestream.com/internetsociety/concealingforfreedom <http://livestream.com/internetsociety/concealingforfreedom>* *REAL TIME TEXT* (see *ISOC.LIVE <https://isoc.live/15478>*) *TWITTER #concealingforfreedom <https://bit.ly/concealingforfreedom> @IAMCRtweets @franmusiani @edok_lotosov @cis_cnrs @iMuses #encryption #globalencryption* *SIMULCASTS* *https://www.twitter.com/ISOC_Live/ <https://www.twitter.com/ISOC_Live/>* *https://www.twitch.tv/isoclive <https://www.twitch.tv/isoclive>* *https://www.facebook.com/liveisoc/ <https://www.facebook.com/liveisoc/> (*AI Captions) *ARCHIVE* *https://archive.org/details/concealingforfreedom <https://archive.org/details/concealingforfreedom>* - -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +12185659365 -------------------------------------- -
