2011.11.22 – Psiphon’s role in supporting internet access in Syria was reported on CNN today.

Rafal Rohozinski, CEO of SecDev and Psiphon stated, “What we’re doing is not much different to what the airwaves provided during the Cold War to provide those citizens living behind the Iron Curtain with an ability to get information which otherwise they were not getting from their state … Whereas shortwave radio during the Cold War was very unidirectional … with the Internet these technologies are by definition bidirectional, meaning that it gives an opportunity for citizens within these states to also communicate amongst themselves and with the outside world.”

Psiphon3 is our next generation secure tunnel providing robust and resilient connectivity in censored environments. It based on open source code, and grew out of our PsiphonX pilot project.  You can find a design paper and the source code at the following location:

Both Psiphon 2 and Psiphon 3 have been selected by  leading international broadcasters as their delivery platform of choice.
