PEp -- pretty Easy privacy
| Description | p≡p stands for pretty Easy privacy: p≡p is radically easing the use of well-known and established end-to-end cryptographic tools for already existing and widely used written digital communication channels (like e-mail, SMS or chat). Ultimately, p≡p wants to change the default in written digital communications: from unencrypted, unverified and unanonymized to encrypted, verified and anonymized. |

We'll be providing at least two self-organized sessions:
- Day 1, 27.12.; 18:00; Hall B: Privacy by Default with pretty Easy privacy
- Day 2, 28.12.; 19:00; Hall B: A Walk Through pEp's Tech
Plus: more specific implementation workshops will be announced on our assembly page ASAP!
Or come to our assembly to chat, pose questions or participate!! :)
p≡p stands for pretty Easy privacy: p≡p is radically easing the use of well-known and established end-to-end cryptographic tools for already existing and widely-used written digital communication channels (like e-mail, SMS or chat). Ultimately, p≡p wants to change the default in written digital communications: from unencrypted, unverified and unanonymized to encrypted, verified and anonymized.
p≡p's protocols automate the steps taught to users at cryptoparties to protect personal security and privacy by default. Thus, we are able to provide total protection on a state of the art expert encryption level for everyone regardless of their technical knowledge or expertise and for a substantial portion of their communication needs.
p≡p supports multiple platforms (iOS, Android, Linux, BSD, MacOS, Windows), multiple languages, multiple crypto technologies and multiple message transports as well as devices. We offer a 100% Peer-to-Peer, End-to-End and device based secure synchronization of keys and configuration that is cheaper, faster, easier and better than any existing solution (“Faster” measures download and install. The p≡p Installer takes less than 10s, asks no questions or information). Development wise, we provide very simple APIs to allow for easy integration of p≡p into application programming.
All software published by p≡p foundation is and shall forever remain open source as well as freely available for the general public. All p≡p software is and will be subject to an independent code review.
p≡p is organized as (1) p≡p foundation, a non-profit organization that owns the p≡p engine and supports Free and Open Source Software and Privacy by Default; and (2) p≡p security, an enterprise to distribute p≡p applications and respective services (B2B and B2C).
In summary p≡p innovates on multiple fronts to change the defaults: It Makes Digital Privacy Easy – and empowers the user to have Privacy running on Open Source software.
