It consists of a set of complementary packages and recipes to automate the maintenance of LEAP services in a hardened GNU/Linux environment. Our goal is to make it painless for service providers and ISPs to deploy a secure communications platform. - -Read `more about the LEAP Platform <https://leap.se/en/technology/platform>`_ or `check out the code <https://github.com/leapcode/leap_platform>`_. - - -.. _philosophy: - -Philosophy ----------- - -The Right to Whisper -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -LEAP fights for *the right to whisper*. - -Like free speech, the right to whisper is an necessary precondition for **a free society**. Without it, civil society and political freedom become impossible. As the importance of digital communication for civic participation increases, so does the importance of the ability to digitally whisper. - -Unfortunately, advances in surveillance technology are rapidly eroding the ability to whisper. This is a worldwide problem, not simply an issue for people in repressive contexts. Acceptance of poor security in the West creates a global standard of insecure practice, even among civil society actors who urgently need the ability to communicate safely. - -The stakes could not be higher. Activists are dying because their communication technologies betray their identity, location, and conversations. When activists attempt to secure their communications, they face confusing software, a dearth of secure providers, and a greater risk of being flagged as potential troublemakers. In other words, problems of usability, availability, and adoption. - -Our vision -^^^^^^^^^^ -The LEAP vision is to attack these problems of usability, availability, and adoption head on. - -To address **usability**: - we are creating a complete system where the user-facing client software is - tightly coupled with the cloud-base components of the system. All our software - will be auto-configuring, prevent users from practicing insecure behavior, and - primarily limit the configuration options to those moments when the user is placing i - their trust in another entity. - -To address **availability**: - LEAP will work closely with service providers to adopt our open source, automatedl - platform for running high-availability communication services. By lowering the - barriers of entry to become a reliable provider, we can increase the supply and - decrease the cost of secure communications. - -To address **adoption**: - the LEAP platform layers higher security on top of existing protocols to allow - users a gradual transition path and backward compatibility. Our goal is to create - services that are attractive in terms of features, usability, and price for users in - both democratic and repressive contexts. - -All contributions should have these three points in mind. - -.. _`gpl3`: - -GPLv3 License --------------- - -.. image:: gpl.* - -The LEAP Client is released under the terms of the `GNU GPL version 3`_ or later. - -:: - - The LEAP Client is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify - it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by - the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or - (at your option) any later version. - - The LEAP Client is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, - but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of - MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
