Global Encryption Day

October 21, 2022, is the Global Encryption Day organized by the Global Encryption Coalition.

Here the official announcement of this coalition on its website.

Make the change on Global Encryption Day

Increasing the use of end-to-end encrypted platforms not only keeps you and your loved ones safe from hackers and thieves, but also improves the security of the Internet as a whole. That's why on this Global Encryption Day, all individuals, businesses and organizations should move to using strong encryption.

Global Encryption Day is an opportunity to tell governments around the world that protecting and strengthening encryption is crucial to making the Internet safer for their citizens. It will send a message to governments to abandon plans that will weaken encryption, and the Internet as a whole, by granting law enforcement special powers to access your private data on encrypted platforms.

On Global Encryption Day, the Global Encryption Coalition wants people around the world to make the switch to end-to-end encrypted platforms. This will help create a safer Internet for everyone.

Secure end-to-end encryption makes life safer for everyone. It protects you and your family's security. End-to-end encryption enables law enforcement to tackle organized crime, helps journalists expose corruption and is critical for national security to protect society from terrorists, criminals and hostile governments.

Switch to end-to-end encryption on Global Encryption Day and build a safer Internet.

The first Global Encryption Day will be celebrated on October 21, 2021.

GLOBAL ENCRYPTION COALITION

Encryption protects the personal security of billions of people and the national security of countries around the world.

However, some governments and organizations are pushing to weaken encryption, which would create a dangerous precedent that compromises the security of billions of people around the world.

The Global Encryption Coalition (GEC) was founded in 2020 by the Center for Democracy and Technology, Global Partners Digital and the Internet Society, and now has more than 200 members.

Its mission is to promote and defend encryption in key countries and multilateral forums where it is under threat. The GEC also supports companies' efforts to offer encrypted services to their users.

Encryption protects us, so we need to protect it.
