[ | [http://briar.sf.net Briar] is an open source project to develop secure communication tools for people living in authoritarian societies. We're writing Android and Java apps that people can use to build encrypted networks based on their real-world trust relationships. The protocols are designed to operate online (using P2P connections between users) or offline (using Bluetooth, WiFi and even USB sticks), so they can route around internet censorship and survive communication blackouts. | ||
On 29 June 2012 we'll be holding an all-day hackathon at London Hackspace. If you're curious about Briar, want to check out the existing code, or have some ideas to contribute, please come along! The event is free and food will be provided (probably pizza). | On 29 June 2012 we'll be holding an all-day hackathon at London Hackspace.
