[Chapter-delegates] Global Encryption Day 2026 | From Enigma to Chat Control – 21st October

[Vatsla Srivastava]

Dear colleagues, 

Greetings from the Internet Society India Mumbai Chapter. 

To mark Global Encryption Day 2026, we are pleased to invite you to an online expert session: 

>From Enigma to Chat Control: Why Encryption Is Everyone's Business 

Encryption protects far more than our messages. It underpins secure communications, financial transactions, personal privacy and the exercise of fundamental rights online. Yet, growing regulatory pressures, surveillance practices and proposals to weaken encrypted communications raise critical questions about its future. 

We are delighted to welcome Jean F. Quéralt, Founder and CEO of The IO Foundation, whose work focuses on data-centric digital rights, technical standards and rights by design. 

The session will trace the evolution of encryption, examine its role in protecting users and explore contemporary debates around surveillance, security, regulation and the protection of strong encryption. 

The presentation will be followed by a moderated discussion and audience Q&A, facilitated by Ishita Trivedi, Interim Vice President, ISOC India Mumbai Chapter.
