Overview
SecureDrop is an open-source whistleblower submission system designed to allow media organizations and NGOs to securely receive documents from anonymous sources. It ensures anonymity by routing connections through Tor, minimizing metadata, and encrypting data both in transit and at rest. SecureDrop operates on servers completely owned by the news organization, eliminating third-party access and control. It helps journalists and organizations maintain secure channels for sensitive information, especially in high-risk environments. Licensed as free and open-source software, SecureDrop promotes transparency and security.
