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. - -%p Unfortunately, advances in surveillance technology are <b>rapidly eroding the ability to whisper</b>. 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. - -%p 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, <b>problems of usability, availability, and adoption</b>. - -%h1 Our vision - -%p The LEAP vision is to attack these problems of usability, availability, and adoption head on. - -%p - %b 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 their trust in another entity. - -%p - %b To address availability, - LEAP will work closely with service providers to adopt our open source, #{link 'automated platform' => 'platform'} for running high-availability #{link 'communication services' => 'services'}. By lowering the barriers of entry to become a reliable provider, we can increase the supply and decrease the cost of secure communications. - -%p - %b To address adoption, - the LEAP platform #{link 'layers higher security' => 'infosec'} 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. - |
