<commit_before>Deaddrop is a tool for communicating securely with journalists.

DeadDrop is a server application intended to let news organizations and others set up an online drop box for sources. It's open source software written by <NAME> in consultation with a volunteer team of security experts. In addition to Aaron's code, the project includes installation scripts and set-up instructions both for the software, and for a hardened Ubuntu environment on which to run it.

DeadDrop was created with the goal of placing a secure drop box within reach of anyone with the need. But at this point expertise is still required to safety deploy this software. And the software itself needs more work.

The code is is a Python application that accepts messages and documents from the web and GPG-encrypts them for secure storage. Essentially, it's a more secure alternative to the "contact us" form found on a typical news site.

In operation, every source is given a unique "codename." The codename lets the source establish a relationship with the news organization without revealing her real identity or resorting to e-mail. She can enter the code name on a future visit to read any messages sent back from the journalist -- "Thanks for the Roswell photos! Got any more?? -- or submit additional documents or messages under the same persistent, but anonymous, identifier.

The source is known by a different code name on the journalist's side. All of that source's submissions are grouped together into a "collection." Every time there's a new submission by that source, their collection is bumped to the top of the submission queue.

DeadDrop was designed to use three physical servers: a public-facing server, a second server for storage of messages and documents, and a third that does security monitoring of the first two. The New Yorker's public-facing server also has a USB dongle called an Entropy Key plugged attached to generate a pool of random numbers for the crypto.

The web app was coded and architected by [<NAME>](https://github.com/aaronsw). The hardening guide and other security material is the work of [<NAME>](https://github.com/dolanjs). The default web design and the DeadDrop logo were crafted by <NAME>. Journalist [<NAME>](https://github.com/klpwired) organized the project. The New Yorker launched the first implementation as the New Yorker Strongbox in May 2013.
