Defend Dissent: Digital Suppression and Cryptographic Defense of Social Movements

by Glencora Borradaile

Read at LibreTextsPDF

Defend Dissent is an introduction to cryptography paired with the social impacts of surveillance and the protective potential of encryption, with a focus on US social movements. Each chapter ends with a story that brings social context to the material—from surveillance used against contemporary US protests to the African National Congress’s use of partially manual encryption in fighting apartheid in South Africa in the 80s.
