The campaign provides educational materials, lesson plans, demonstrations, and tools that help learners understand privacy, secure communication, digital identity, cryptography, and responsible technology use.
Standards & Protocols
PrivacySafe Foundation supports public standards and protocol documentation, including the 3NWeb Protocols hosted at IEEE SA Open. These specifications support self-sovereign identity, zero-knowledge filesystems, privacy by design, and interoperable infrastructure.
Our libraries and reference implementations are Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS), so anyone can read them, run them, teach from them, and share their modifications.
What We Do

K-12 Schools

Higher Education
Educational materials for colleges, universities, and professional programs focused on AI, cryptography, decentralization, and blockchain.

Community
