Crypto Village
The BSides Seattle Cryptography Village is a space to learn, share, and engage in all things cryptology, the art and science of secret communication.

At each BSides Seattle event we do a special puzzle challenge, which is designed for everyone and can be worked on while you attend the conference. Whether you are brand new or a returning solver, stop by the village as there are prizes, materials, and good conversation. Most of all, have fun, ask questions and let your curiosity guide you!
