Some heavy hitters in the fields of encryption and online privacy have developed something we Freepers may be interested in.

TorProject.org for private Internet browsing on home computers is a good start. Slower than regular browsers but 'anonymous'.
To: Windflier
And... other than the auto-delete function, which should not be all that difficult to add for any file with a simple scriptfile I would think, this is better than PGP/GPG exactly how?

...this is better than PGP/GPG exactly how? Dunno, but the guy who created PGP is one of the crew who developed this privacy tool. That alone tells me that it's worth looking into.

Yar, I see good ol’ Phil is there so that is indeed a definite plus. No name for the app, however, and no info if they will release the sourcecode as well. Can’t wait for us ‘Nix sorts to get hold of something to play with, and I hope someone over at SourceForge will have some helpful links soon.

No doubt, they want to make a buck, but more importantly, they're pissing off big brother, which gives them ultimate cred in my book.

"Big Brother" with the Ubama regime in charge scares me as much as the Clinton mob did. I lurked here for nearly three years before signing up because I was waiting for the Gore to finally concede and the rats to be officially done at the White House. I was certain Free Republic members were on their "enemies list" just as surely as the Clintons had hundreds (thousands?) of FBI files stashed away.

newsflash - every single person here likely has a file on them

Sometimes paranoia is just common sense when people (or your government) are after you.

Well it’s sort of anonymous. I remember reading where the hubs can still get your data. So all the gov’t needs to do is run the main hubs and it can get your data.

Your hotlink to Tor looks impressive! Have you used it? If so, what is your humble, but always correct, opinion?

Two points:
1. Even if the govt. could crack this wouldn’t they make noise and make it seem like they couldn’t?
2. There’s a very high bar for normal people using encryption - I think it’s because of the old “I’ve got nothing to hide”. Yet no one would think twice about using a letter and an envelope as opposed to a postcard. Ideally people would use encryption in the same way as they would put a letter in an envelope. That would have the advantage of encrypted messages not looking like they stood out.
