Hiding communication from government, law-enforcement snooping
Published 27 November 2012
In response to increasing government and law-enforcement snooping, companies such as San Francisco’s Wickr are attempting to build traceless communications systems. The idea is to build the encryption into the actual message — rather than on the servers of the messaging provider — so no one other than the recipients can see what is being communicated. Right now Wickr works only on text messaging, but the company plans to extend its encryption services to e-mail and even social networks.
