<b>Bitmask</b> is an open source application to provide easy and secure encrypted communication. You can choose among <a href="#providers">several different service providers</a>, or <a href="https://leap.se/en/doc/platform">start your own</a>. Currently, Bitmask supports encrypted internet, and will soon support encrypted email and chat.

%h1#how-it-works How it works
%p The <b>Bitmask</b> application is designed to have a <b>friendly</b> interface with <b>automatic</b> configuration. 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 (coming soon).
%p.b Encrypted Email (Coming soon)
%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 discovered for the recipient).
%li OpenPGP public keys are #{link_to 'automatically validated', 'https://leap.se/en/nicknym'}, allowing you to have confidence you communication is confidential and with the correct person (without the headache of typical key signing).
%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 Despite all this, as with all security systems, Bitmask has many #{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 'bitmask.net', 'https://bitmask.net'
%li
= link_to 'calyx.net', 'https://calyx.net'
(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>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 pitch in—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.
