Hi all,
i would like to notice that in those "internet freedom space" there's
a missing component in the communication security landscape, that's
the ability to interoperate between "Web" and "Mobile" for
communication security technologies.
The user have only those two platform, a browser and a mobile phone
with downloadable apps.
Everything else requiring to install an application over a desktop
computer is IMHO destinated to be a total failure.
So, if that's a valid assumption, we need focus on having "internet
freedom technologies" working on a web browser and as mobile phone
apps, being interoperable among them
Everything else is IMHO a waste of time and money.
Let me identify 3 major area where those kind of stuff should apply:
*Realtime Instant Messaging:**
*Web Browsers support, trough CryptoCat, realtime instant messaging
with OTR
Mobile Client support, trough Gibberbot, ChatSecure, TextSecure
realtime instant messaging with OTR
The GAP is: The technologies are not "interoperating by default" but
they could and should do it, by default.
*Voice:**
*Web Browsers now speak WebRTC with DTLS-SRTP encrypted communications.
Mobile Clients now speak ZRTP for encrypted communications.
The GAP is: We need Mobile Clients that interoperate with Web Browsers
trough WebRTC, within a federated telephony system.
As far as internet freedom, federation is a sign that something isn't
working very well and
should be fixed lest it become a central point of failure.
