Short for Web-based seminar, a webinar is a workshop or seminar that is transmitted over the Web, using video
conferencing software. A webinar is a live, web-based video conference that uses the internet to connect the
individuals hosting the webinar to an audience of viewers and listeners from all over the world. Hosts can show
themselves speaking, switch to their computer screens for slideshows or demonstrations, and even invite guests from
other locations to co-host the webinar with them. Webinar platforms also offer interactive features that the audience
can use to ask questions and chat with the host.

Department of IT & Electronics, Govt. of West Bengal, held a Webinar on “Digital Transformation: Disruptions and
Trends” on 29.11.2019. Shri Debashis Sen, IAS, Additional Chief Secretary, Department of IT & E, Government of West

While concluding the webinar Shri Sanjay Kumar Das, WBCS (Exe), focussed on encryption techniques. He said that,
those who are into the creative domain should know encryption failing which their creative content can be seen, used,
modified and monetised by anyone without any control. In this world somebody is absolutely looking into our system
and looking into our activity. He gave example of 2-key mechanism system followed in case of bank lockers and said
that there must be co-owned encryption key so that somebody’s creation can only be used with his explicit permission.
