“Zero-Knowledge Systems, the leading developer of privacy
solutions for consumers and companies, will release its first
source code today. Mike Shaver, Zero-Knowledge’s Chief Software
Officer, last week previewed the Linux client of the company’s
award-winning privacy software, Freedom at the Ottawa Linux
Symposium.”
“In this first source release, Zero-Knowledge will release the
source code of the Freedom Linux kernel interface. Source code
will be available for download from the Zero-Knowledge website at
http://opensource.zeroknowledge.com/.
This interface contains the code that allows Freedom to
intercept all incoming and outgoing data from a computer and
can be useful for implementing secure networking solutions for
Linux. In accordance with the company’s stated commitment to open
source, additional source code to the Freedom client and server
will be made available in the coming months.” “In response to the
strong demand for our code and in accordance with our commitment to
security through openness, we are excited to preview the Linux
client and embark on the first step toward releasing the source
code,” said Shaver, who previously headed developer relations and
open source evangelism for mozilla.org, the group organizing
development of the open source Mozilla browser. “Source
availability is an important part of any credible privacy solution,
and by releasing source code Zero-Knowledge further demonstrates
that Freedom is the best solution available.”
