(Topic) Considering the importance of cryptography from the international human rights movements.

Saturday 23 October: Symposium 1pm-3pm
(Topic) Surveillance Society and Cryptography
The whistle-blowing by Edward Snowden was supported by secret contacts with journalists, supported by cryptography. On the other hand, our right to the secrecy of our communications is being threatened as the Japanese government launches organisations such as the Digital Agency and the Cyber Agency of the National Police Agency. This symposium will give an opportunity to think about these issues.
