[liberationtech] Appelbaum's Ultrasurf report

[Frank Corrigan]

Would it be feasible and practical to develop some sort independent
accreditation/certification/research/benchmarking mechanism* that covers
such technology? Which could be used, for instance, to inform anyone
considering using/funding tech that claims to support "anonymity,
security, privacy and Internet censorship circumvention" to ensure
veracity before release and continuity whilst in use and when updated
and for accreditation/certification technical analysis to be published
responsibly?

*Using some of the $28 million set aside for such tech:

Collin Anderson worked with Ultrasurf to assist with the patching of
holes found in Jacob's report.  He has a blog post about his
participation here:
