Parents’ guide to encryption
Kids live in a digital world. Even before they start using online tools, devices and games on their own, parents take pictures of them, share them and store the on the cloud. Encryption is the best tool we have to keep them safe online.
Encryption safeguards the personal security of billions of people and the national security of countries around the world.
The Global Encryption Coalition (GEC) was founded in 2020 by the Center for Democracy & Technology, Global Partners Digital and the Internet Society and now has over 350 members.
Its mission is to promote and defend encryption in key countries and multilateral fora where it is under threat. The GEC also supports efforts by companies to offer encrypted services to their users.
Every day, we promote and protect encryption all over the world. Find out how we take action:
