Quickly noting that I'm not affiliated with AdLeaks, just passing on the information.

GlobaLeaks seeks to establish an open-source version of the submission system of Wikileaks such that any and everyone can make their own leaks site. The core development team of GlobaLeaks is also on this list, so I'll let them describe it further. This project, on the other hand, cleverly uses how every internet user is exposed to ads on a daily basis. The people designing some web page with ads (say a news site) can then choose to make it sort-of AdLeaks-boosted. For a regular visitor to the news site, their browser will encrypt a block of "red herring" data (no content of interest), but if a whistleblower comes by they have the chance to encrypt not red herring but the content that they want to leak. The thing is that an adversary that is able to monitor the traffic to the news site will not be able to distinguish between leaks and noise, since it won't have the decryption key. In short: having *all* visitors to the site encrypt and submit *something* is the novelty in this approach. JC
