Crypto.is

We Focus On

The lack of pervasive and secure Anonymous/Pseudonymous email is a major shortcoming of technologists. We aim to update the Mixmaster and Mixminion remailer systems in use, and develop a next-generation nymserver.

Architecture Review
Finding bugs in code is usually the last step in a good review. What's the threat model, how is the system architected, how is the crypto performed, where are the keys stored? After all that, we can start poking at the code...
We Support

Anonymity
We love and contribute to anonymizer projects such as Tor, I2P, GNUnet, and others. And we enjoy evaluating and testing new services that pop up.

Mobile
We encourage the development of mobile applications for anonymity, encryption, and communication - both whole-phone solutions such as The Guardian Project and individual applications like those from Whisper Systems.

Storage
We use, contribute to, and audit tools like GNU Privacy Guard, dm-crypt, Tomb, and Truecrypt to provide secure storage encryption, and distributed and secure based systems like Tahoe-LAFS.

Currency
We think about and play with protocols such as Bitcoin and other decentralized, secure, digital currencies.

Chat
We use and hack on tools such as Off-the-Record (OTR) Messaging that provide encrypted end-to-end chat.
