In this code-along workshop, you will learn how to hide messages in text, image, sound and video using basic concepts of ciphers. You will also get to explore how to mask your personal photos so you can fool facial recognition algorithms and even get rid of its metadata for your privacy.
You will use open source productivity tools for this workshop. No programming background is required but is an advantage because you will learn these techniques using basic Python syntax.
Since the format is a code-along, number of participants does not really matter. 'Cheat sheets' hosted in GitHub will be given for every time segment so people can catch up on their own time.
We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after Mozfest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.:One goal of this session is to build a web app on top of it so people can go back to the platform every time they want to review basic cryptography to advanced AI neural cryptography to mask their footprints online.
What is the goal and/or outcome of your session?:To engage audience and demonstrate that privacy literacy can be gamified and can be fun!
