# LEAP Encryption Access Project: Encrypted Communications for Mere Mortals

What if I told you that a regular user can get gpg-encrypted communications
|
|
|
|
|
|
just following a wizard and click-click-click? What if I told you that
|
|
|
|
|
|
her email can be backuped in the cloud, in a way that a server compromise could
|
|
|
|
|
|
not reveal the private data? What about an Encrypted Proxy that's at the same
|
|
|
|
|
|
reasonably secure and easy to use, configure and deloy?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well, you don't have to trust me. Just come and see it with your own eyes.
|

|
|
At LEAP we are obsessed with making possible for any service provider to easily
|
|
|
|
|
|
deploy secure services and for people to use these services without needing to
|
|
|
|
|
|
learn new software or change their behavior. These services are based on open,
|
|
|
|
|
|
federated standards, but done right: the provider does not have access to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
user’s data, and we use open protocols in the most secure way possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On the server side we have created the LEAP Platform, a “provider in a box” set
|
|
|
|
|
|
of complementary packages and server recipes automated to lower the barriers of
|
|
|
|
|
|
entry for aspiring secure service providers. On the client side, we have
|
|
|
|
|
|
created a cross-platform application called Bitmask that automatically
|
|
|
|
|
|
configures itself once a user has selected a provider and which services to
|
|
|
|
|
|
enable. Bitmask provides a local proxy that a standard email client can connect
|
|
|
|
|
|
to, and allows for easy one-click Virtual Private Network (VPN) service.
