PSST

As part of the StoryMaker project, Scal.io has put together a prototype of a camera app based on IOCipher storage:

Here are some numbers about PSST-related software from a number of sources:

Google Play Store¶

Gnu Privacy Guard is distributed via the Google Play Store, which tracks a lot of things about the apps there. This includes total number of installs and more. Here is a selection of stats:

• 16156 total user installs
• 5856 current device installs
• 5169 current user installs

pypi¶

pypi is the main site for finding Python libraries and other Python software.

github¶

We have the source code of our projects on github. The only metrics we have found on github are Stars, Forks, and Watches. A Star seems to mean that a user likes the project. A Fork means that the user has made a public copy of the sources, usually to work on the source code itself. A Watch means that the user will be notified about changes in the project.

transifex¶

We use transifex to host our translations.

Launchpad PPA¶

A Launchpad PPA is a place to build and host packaged software for Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc. We use it to distribute beta packages. precise, quantal, raring, saucy, and trusty are Ubuntu releases. Our PPA is https://launchpad.net/~guardianproject/+archive/ppa/ Many of these packages have become part of the official package repositories, so they are no longer included in this PPA.

Debian Popularity Contest¶

This is an optional survey of Debian users to share information about the packages they are using. A small subset of Debian users participate in it, so the totals are not indicative of all Debian users. They are mostly used to compare packages' relative popularity. Installs are the number of people who installed this package. Votes are the number of people who use this package regularly.

SQLCipher-for-Android is part of IBM's Worklight cross-platform development toolkit. In particular, it provides the secure storage for their FIPS-certified JSONStore class.

GnuPG recently launched a new croudfunding campaign which met its goal in 2 days, and it now at 33,400 Euro with 26 days to go. Our port of the official GnuPG suite to Android (GPGA), and its budding Android UI, were featured as part of that campaign.

An new greek HOWTO on how to use KeySync with ChatSecure was the featured article on this greek tech site OSArena.com:

SQLCipher for Android is used in the WeChat Android app, installed over 50 million times. Their implementation leaves a lot to be desired, but I think we can say it is better than no storage encryption.

The new official KeySync page is live on https://guardianproject.info/apps/ Here's the direct link:

Members of the Guardian Project will be hosting weekly public hangouts
every Friday for the rest of year to answer questions about our apps
(Orbot, Orweb, ChatSecure), building on our mobile security libraries
(IOCipher, SQLCipher, NetCipher) and using services like OStel
(including how to run your own secure phone service!).

We will also be live in IRC on Freenode at #guardianproject as always
for those of you who don't feel the need to be on camera.

Sound fun? You betcha it will be. This will be the first even on Friday,
so please come and join. https://guardianproject.info
