An interesting-sounding success story of Tor in action -- and so well
integrated that people barely even mention Tor. :)

(Sorry for the horrible user-specific tracking links. You all get to be
me I guess.)

ISC Updates (http://iscproject.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3D7f3fe52f=

StoryMaker Reduces Threats to Citizen Journalists

In the fast paced, ever-changing world of citizen activism, timely on-the-g=
round media coverage of critical events increasingly depends on stories pro=
duced by citizen journalists. These are often the authors who are uniquely =
positioned to capture the photos and video footage of events as they happen=
 and transmit that information globally from their mobile phones. Unfortuna=
tely, as citizen journalists witness and report stories, they become freque=
nt targets of violence and surveillance.
http://iscproject.us3.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=3D7f3fe52ff12324b92181=
3269b&id=3D7fadbf2910&e=3D5b11b98f74
Fortunately, there are tools that can reduce the threat of such surveillanc=
e. One such tool is StoryMaker, an open-source mobile phone application tha=
t allows journalists to capture, edit, and share their stories online. Stor=
yMaker also includes a training curriculum on journalism and mobile securit=
y, helping citizen journalists improve their skills and understand the risk=
s they may face. The curriculum can be downloaded inside StoryMaker over a =
secure Tor-enabled connection.

StoryMaker is integrated with Orbot, an app that secures Internet traffic b=
y routing it through the Tor network on Android devices. StoryMaker???s int=
egration with Orbot works even if your device has not been rooted. StoryMak=
er also allows you to utilize an Android library of protocols and certifica=
tes that add anonymity and encrypt traffic.

A new version of StoryMaker was launched in July 2014 with added features t=
o include in-app support for uploading stories to Facebook, Flickr, Soundcl=
oud, and private SSH servers securely. By employing these features, the app=
 aims to preserve the privacy and anonymity of citizen journalists.

StoryMaker was developed by an open-source collaboration between Small Worl=
d News, the Guardian Project, Free Press Unlimited, and Scal.io ??? togethe=
r known as the StoryMaker Coalition. With the support of a small grant from=
 the ISC Project, the StoryMaker Coalition integrated the popular Obscuraca=
m app with StoryMaker. ObscuraCam allows you to edit your photos in order t=
o conceal the faces of certain individuals on them.

While StoryMaker transmits data in an encrypted format, audio, video, and p=
hoto files have to be stored on an external memory card unencrypted. In ord=
er to address this vulnerability, the StoryMaker Coalition have been workin=
g on adapting IOCipher, a framework that allows developers to create virtua=
l encrypted storage, for use as an in-app file system. In experiments, Stor=
yMaker developers have been able to achieve complete end-to-end encryption =
of image files. Through the integration of expanded IOCipher functionality,=
 photos are encrypted as they are taken and stored securely in the app. The=
 StoryMaker Coalition is extending its work on securely storing media with =
ongoing research on a new secure file creation process.

Beyond security initiatives, the StoryMaker Coalition has made great stride=
s in extending the StoryMaker app???s accessibility. StoryMaker now support=
s 10 different languages (English, French, Arabic, Croatian/Bosnian, Serbia=
n, Spanish, Persian, German, Macedonian, and Korean). The StoryMaker Coalit=
ion???s efforts to create a robust tool for citizen journalists are ongoing=
, and its developers are currently working toward a solution for end-to-end=
 encryption for video, audio, and slideshow media. StoryMarker is currently=
 available for the Android operating system.

You can download the latest version of StoryMaker from the Google Play stor=
e here:
