In his graduation research, computer science student Krzysztof Okupski has developed software to encrypt messages with the Bitcoin network. Using his software, it costs around 50 cents to send an A4 page of text. This easily accessible and low-cost method can provide an attractive option for dissidents to avoid censorship, so they can send messages unhindered across national borders. Okupski graduates on 1 December.
