Summary

This document appears to be a narrative report or excerpt from a House Oversight file detailing a 'Crypto Party' organized by Edward Snowden in Honolulu on December 11, 2012. The text describes the event at the 'Box Jelly' venue, presentations on TOR and privacy given by Snowden and Runa Sandvik, and the presence of Snowden's girlfriend Lindsay Mills who filmed the meeting. It also details communications with Parker Higgins (EFF), who declined an invitation due to airfare costs, and notes Snowden's precise knowledge of surveillance capabilities which raised suspicions among attendees.
