You simply start the application, register with the compatible service provider of your choice, and away you go. + +%p.b Encrypted Internet (VPN) + +%ul + %li All your traffic is encrypted, routed through your provider, decrypted, and then sent on to the open internet (we use OpenVPN). + %li By doing this, encrypted internet is very effective at bypassing most censorship and network surveillance by your ISP or country. + %li Encrypted internet also hides your IP address, thus keeping your physical location safe from nefarious websites. + %li We take extra security measures to prevent problems common to other VPN applications, such as DNS leakage and IPv6 leakage. + +%p.b Encrypted Email + +%ul + %li Bitmask encrypted email is easy to use while still being backward compatible with the existing OpenPGP protocol for secure email. + %li All incoming email is automatically encrypted so only you can read it (including meta-data). + %li If possible, outgoing email is automatically encrypted so that only the recipient can read it (if a valid OpenPGP public key can be automatically discovered and validated for the recipient). + +%p.b Security Features + +%ul + %li All data storage is encrypted, including local data and cloud backups. This encryption always #{link_to 'takes place on your device', 'https://leap.se/en/soledad'}, so the service provider cannot read your stored data. + %li Your data is always available and #{link_to 'synchronized to the devices', 'https://leap.se/en/soledad'} you choose. + %li Although you specify a username and password to login, your #{link_to 'password is never communicated to the provider', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Remote_Password_protocol'}. + %li The Bitmask application is always kept up to date with the latest security patches (coming soon). + %li If you download the Bitmask application from #{link_to 'downloads.leap.se', 'https://downloads.leap.se'}, your service provider cannot add a backdoor to compromise your security. + %li As with any security system, Bitmask has #{link_to 'known limitations', 'https://leap.se/en/limitations'}. + +%p For technical details, see our #{link_to 'design documentation', 'https://leap.se/en/design'}. + +%h1#providers Supported providers + +%p The following service providers are compatible with the Bitmask application: + +%ul + %li= link_to 'demo.bitmask.net', 'https://demo.bitmask.net' + %li + = link_to 'calyx.net', 'https://calyx.net' + (coming soon) + %li + = link_to 'oblivia.vc', 'https://oblivia.vc' + (coming soon) + %li + = link_to 'riseup.net', 'https://riseup.net' + (coming soon) + + +%p Start your own compatible service provider with the free software #{link_to 'LEAP platform', 'https://leap.se/en/platform'}. + +%h1#about-us About us + +%img{src:'/img/leap-small.png', align:'right'} + +%p The <b>Bitmask</b> application is lovingly hand-crafted by a team of paid and volunteer programmers from seven different countries. Development is principally sponsored by the #{link_to 'LEAP Encryption Access Project', 'https://leap.se'}, an non-profit organization dedicated to defending democracy by <b>protecting the right to whisper</b>. + +%p The service provider <b>demo.bitmask.net</b> is operated by LEAP in order to demonstrate usage of the <b>Bitmask</b> application. However, we actively encourage other organizations to start their own compatible service providers by using our free software #{link_to 'platform for server automation', 'https://leap.se/en/platform'}. + +%h1#code Fork our code + +%p <b>Hey, you! We could use a hand here</b>. You want communication free of surveillance, based on open protocols, and that gives users control over their own data? Well, grab a keyboard and #{link_to 'pitch in', 'https://leap.se/en/get-involved'}—the code is not going to write itself. + +%p In particular, if you have finely honed skill in Python, Android Java, Ruby, C, CouchDB, Windows, Mac, Puppet, Qt, or you really love crypto, we could sure use your help. + +%ol + %li #{link_to 'Fork our code', 'https://leap.se/en/source'}. + %li Create a new branch from develop called feature/x or bugfix/x. + %li Hack away. + %li Issue a pull request on github from your feature or bugfix branch to the upstream develop branch. + %li Discuss and wait for request to be merged. + %li Repeat. + +%p Currently, we release a new version of the Bitmask application every two weeks, and other components as necessary. + +%p +%p + |
