Dear all, please find attached a request to evaluate the secure communication tool to be ready to be officially suggested by EFF and Security Advisors. Thanks for feedback, regards Randolph
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Eva Galperin <[email protected]> Date: 2012/7/10 Subject: Re: Request to EFF - support for chat and communication Thank you for writing to EFF. I'm glad that there are people who are working on secure communications tools--in fact, I am at a security tool hackathon in New York right now. However, EFF cannot recommend any tool that has not had a thorough security audit and we do not have the resources to perform such an audit ourselves. If you are working on an open source security communications tool that you would like EFF to recommend, I suggest that you subject it to an extensive audit by security professionals. ************************************************ Eva Galperin International Freedom of Expression Coordinator Electronic Frontier Foundation [email protected] (415) 436-9333 ex. 111 ************************************************ On 7/9/12 2:50 PM, Randolph D. wrote: > Dear EFF Member, > > I have a request to you (I found your email on the website of the EFF, > describing what you do): we need free speech in Syria and Russia and many > other countries, encrypted communication is helping to have people speaking > and networking. > Furthermore we need an open source alternative to facebook. > There is one: http://interface.sf.net - which is encrypted serverless > (oder DHT) communication: Email, Forums, Groupchat, Picup of friends of > friends, it is based on GnuPG keys (as the messenger ID and contact detail) > and all is done serverless and encrypted. > That means, friends of friends can forward messages and so information is > transparent. > > but it is hard to get that tool into the public, Can you help?
