IOCipher update to version 1.0 We are thrilled to announce that a community contributor has picked up maintaining a fork of IOCipher and updated to IOCipher 1.0, designed to enhance your development experience and empower you to create more secure applications with ease. Here’s what’s new and why it matters to you: 1. Enhanced Features We introduced a few new features. Most notably IOCipher is also available on Desktop Java for Linux and Windows now.| Guardian Project
With 2024 now behind us, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the growth and achievements we accomplished as a community last year, and celebrate the incredible support we received from the FOSS community throughout the journey. This year has been a milestone for us, with significant strides in decentralizing app distribution, expanding the F-Droid ecosystem, and solidifying our infrastructure. All of these advancements were made possible thanks to donations, grants, our volunteers and re...| Guardian Project
“But how are you planning on using the phone?” he asked me. I paused, a bit confused. “As a replacement for my iPhone. I want to do everything with this phone that I can do with my iPhone, and use it as I normally would.” He took a beat to respond, “Wow, alright. Well let’s give it a shot.” I would describe myself as tech-curious, but the reality is I am not your typical CalyxOS user.| Guardian Project
Guardian Project has been running its own fdroid-compatible app repository since 2012. Up until now, we worked to ensure that our repository had the same standards of free software as the official F-Droid repository. Therefore, the Guardian Project repository was included in the official F-Droid client app by default. A lot has changed since then, for the better. F-Droid has long since stopped shipping pre-built binaries from any provider. Back in the day, F-Droid shipped some binaries, like ...| Guardian Project

For software projects with recurring bugs, efficiency or security issues there’s a joke making the rounds in the software industry: “Let’s re-write it in Rust!” It’s a fairly new low-level programming language with the declared goal to help developers avoid entire classes of bugs, security issues and other pitfalls. Re-writing software is very time consuming, so it rarely happens, especially when just one more fix will keep a project up and running.| Guardian Project
Smart phones have brought us so many wonderful capabilities. They let people around the world access vast realms of information. They let app developers solve problems large and small in a way most relevent to their local context. They are personal computers for the world. They also have given surveillance capitalism an unprecedented reach into everyone’s lives. Repressive governments use them in ways that the East German Stasi secret police could only have dreamed of.| Guardian Project
As part of the DEfO project, we have been working on accelerating the development Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) as standardized by the IETF. ECH is the next step in improving Transport Layer Security (TLS). TLS is one of the basic building blocks of the internet, it is what puts the S in HTTPS. The ECH standard is nearing completion. That is exciting because ECH can encrypt the last plaintext TLS metadata that it is possible to encrypt.| Guardian Project
One key component of the Tracking the Trackers project is building a machine learning (ML) tool to aide humans to find tracking in Android apps. One of the most important pieces of developing a machine learning tool is figuring out which “features” should be fed to the machine learning algorithms. In this context, features are constrained data sets derived from the whole data set. In our case, the whole data set is terabytes of APKs.| Guardian Project
NetCipher has been relatively quiet in recent years, because it kept on working, doing it was doing. Now, we have had some recent discoveries about the guts of Android that mean NetCipher is a lot easier to use on recent Android versions. On top of that, TLSv1.2 now reigns supreme and is basically everywhere, so it is time to turn TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1 entirely off. A single method to enable proxying for the whole app As of Android 8.| Guardian Project
VPNs have become quite popular in recent years for a number of reasons, and more and more they are being touted as a privacy tool. The question is whether using a VPN does improve privacy. It is clear that VPNs are quite useful for getting access to things on the internet when direct connections are blocked. VPN providers include a number of tactics in both their client apps and server infrastructure to ensure that their users are able to make a connection.| Guardian Project
Governments across the world are moving services to mobile apps. The vast majority of these apps are only available in the Google Play store or in the Apple App store. Installing apps from these services requires users to agree to their terms of service. This means governments require their citizens to sign opaque and privacy invading contracts with foreign Big Tech in order to use digital services. This feeds ever more into Big Tech data control, filtering, and information bubbles.| Guardian Project
