Why Encryption Matters
Using the Internet without encryption is like sharing secrets with a pet parrot; nothing will stay secret for long. Encryption is how you keep your private life private, even online.
Learn More About Encryption
Use our toolkits, factsheets, papers, and other documents to learn how to use encryption to defend it, and to protect yourself and others.
To celebrate Global Encryption Day, we will join our efforts to protect end-to-end encryption and defeat any proposals that undermine it. We’ve already shown how attempts to create backdoors in end-to-end encryption weaken security. Now we need to stop the other shortcuts that governments are suggesting.
