Secure Smart Cam | The Guardian Project

We are developing a secure camera application in partnership with Witness.org. You can track the progress here: https://github.com/guardianproject/SecureSmartCam

This collaboration grew out of an open hackday at the 2010 Open Video Conference

Here are some of the user stories we aim to support.

  • An activist group records a video interview of a spokesperson at a protest and wants to protect the identify of the people in the background of the shot
  • A rights defender uses their smartphone to take many pictures of abuses in a village. On their way back to their hotel, they are detained by local authorities and their phone is confiscated.
  • The internet and mobile network are shutdown. Images taken at a protest of human rights abuses need to be delivered out of the country. (bluetooth/wifi mesh)
  • My phone could be compromised. I have already delivered what I need to. I want to remove all traces of any images captured.
