Decoy messaging provides air cover and anonymity for whistleblowers

The messaging of a mass lure between press agencies and readers can help protect the identity of the denominators, according to Dr Manny Ahmed, the founder of Coverdrop, a protection tool against the denunciators and the openorigins, a blockchain company that provides data for images and videos to ensure authenticity. The two tools work in the symbiosis to ensure trust communications.

In an interview with Cointtelegraph, Dr Ahmed said that Coverdrop works by sending large quantities of encryption of a lure messaging between readers of an information platform and the information platform itself.

This creates the illusion that each reader is a denunciator, thus drowning the identity of all the real denunciators in a sea of ​​digital noise. The executive has described the problem that the reporters are currently facing the era of digital surveillance:

“The denunciators are in a delicate position because, by definition, they are part of a small set that has access to privileged information. Thus, even if they use end -to -end encryption, the fact that they have never had communication with a journalist is enough to distinguish them.

It does not matter that they cannot see the content of the message; The individual relationship is sufficient, “said Dr. Ahmed.

The founder of coverage and openorigins warned that the progress of AI and data surveillance tools would only increase the threat to privacy and anonymity over time, creating a more robust defense need against the emerging panoptic of the security surveillance state.

Dr. Ahmed noted that mass data collection by governments and intelligence agencies have been underway for more than a decade, but largely ineffective because there was no effective way to filter through the large quantities of data collected.

“They needed to hire thousands of analysts to sit and really target people; with AI, you no longer need to do so,” said the manager at Cointelegraph.
