=Areas of Interest=
*Mobile security
*Backups (especially photos)
*Cyanogenmod
*Threat Modelling
*VOIP
*Installing Linux
*Installing [http://keepass.info KeePass2], a password vault program
*Running DNSSEC
*Playing with alternative, secure email systems
*Chat/OTR on Android
*Image metadata

=Agenda=
*Intros and what you're looking to get out of this cryptoparty
*Why security is important
*Split up into groups:
**Mobile security
**Lastpass (password management)
**Threat modelling (eg; activists on the street)

=Takeaways=
*GPG
*Tails is hard to get running on my machine
*TextSecure is easy!
*Helped people set up secure chats, emails, and texting
*Great one-on-one conversations
*Learned a good deal about KeePass2 (and other variants like KeePassX) and got it running with help!
*Learned about F Droid - an app store for procuring APKs without going through Google Play
*Made a self-signed certificate and locked down CalDav
*Threat modeling - we're not much better prepared than we were with Occupy. As an iPhone user, I'm pretty screwed no matter what. Need to talk to lawyers re: handing over keys and such
*DNSSEC sucks! DNS is already terrible, but DNSSEC makes it worse! Clients don't use it, registrars don't accommodate it, and if you try to use it you're in for a headache.
*The latest version of Cyanogenmod forces you to use their cloud for your contacts, which now must be sync'd with a cloud.
*Suggestion: Cryptoparty Movie Night!
*Suggestion: Linux Install Parties
*Feedback: Splitting the group into "let's do this now" and general discussion was a great idea!
*Homemade vs. commercial Faraday cages for phones, and general physical security
*How to make this knowledge more palatable to the general public? Comics etc;
*Best cryptoparty yet! Folks came with specific questions; paired off really smoothly; no uber-techie debates taking place; specific tasks and breakout topics.
