Sounds like a good effort. About POND, it sounds like it is based on Tor in DarkMatter. So that means it won't really work in China. That's a pretty big downside. Another thing, its use of TrueCrypt requires a custom kernel, and root access. So that's why they are making a ROM, but it won't work otherwise: https://github.com/grugq/darkmatter/issues/16 They are looking at somethings that are right up our alley: SQLCipher - drop in encrypted replacement for SQLite https://github.com/grugq/darkmatter/issues/4 non root encrypted containers https://github.com/grugq/darkmatter/issues/1 Securing Application Data https://github.com/grugq/darkmatter/issues/3 .hc -- PGP fingerprint: 5E61 C878 0F86 295C E17D 8677 9F0F E587 374B BE81 _______________________________________________ Guardian-dev mailing list Post: [email protected] List info: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/guardian-dev To Unsubscribe Send email to: [email protected] Or visit: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/options/guardian-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com You are subscribed as: [email protected]
