Fraunhofer SIT has worked in cooperation with Deutsche Telekom to promote the topic of end-to-end user encryption through the program titled Volks­ver­schlüs­se­lung.
This program consists of user-friendly software developed by Fraunhofer SIT and the corresponding infrastructure, which is operated by Deutsche Telekom in a high-security data center. The program allows Windows users to make their computers encryption-enabled with just a few clicks. On-site registration is available free of charge. A list of times and locations for completing the on-site registration can be found at https://volksverschluesselung.de/.
