Encryption is a key technology that is used in so many areas of our daily lives, and it is one of the key cornerstones for privacy in our digital age.

In the video, we explain common types of encryption and how they work by using animated and visual infographics so that it’s easier to understand. We used simplified explanations so as not to make the video overwhelming for less technical viewers.

Governments around the world have been pushing to ban and, in some cases, successfully have banned or restricted the use of encryption. As privacy advocates, this is something that we all have a duty to push back against.

Let me know what you think of the video. I’m super excited to hear what you think :smiley:

Happy encrypting! :locked:
