+ <h4>Press Release</h4>
+ <h2>Darknet Messenger Releases Beta, Passes Security Audit</h2>
+ <h5>July, 17 2017<!-- TODO --></h5>
+
+ <p>
+ After extensive private beta tests, the first public beta of Briar was <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.briarproject.briar.beta">released today</a>.
+ Briar is a secure messaging app for Android.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Unlike other popular apps, Briar does not require servers to work.
+ It connects users directly using a <strong>peer-to-peer network</strong>.
+ This makes it resistant to censorship and allows it to work even without internet access.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The app encrypts all data end-to-end and also <strong>hides metadata</strong> about who is communicating.
+ This is the <a href="https://blog.grobox.de/2016/briar-next-step-of-the-crypto-messenger-evolution/">next step in the evolution of secure messaging</a>.
+ No communication ever enters the public internet.
+ Everything is sent via the <a href="https://www.torproject.org">Tor anonymity network</a> or local networks.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ With today's beta release, the Briar team also publishes the results of an <strong>independent security audit</strong>
+ (<a href="../raw/BRP-01-report.pdf">PDF</a>).
+ It was performed by <a href="https://cure53.de">Cure53</a> who are known for their audits of SecureDrop, Cryptocat and Dovecot.
+ Six testers took a total of thirteen days to look for flaws in Briar's cryptographic protocols and code.
+ In their report, they state "<i>the quality and readability of the app’s source code was rather exceptional</i>"
+ and highlight "<i>a good understanding of vulnerability patterns and threats</i>".
+ All the issues found by the audit have been addressed in this beta release.
+ The report concludes that Briar "<i>is able to offer a <strong>good level of privacy and security</strong>.
+ In other words, the Briar secure messenger can be recommended for use.</i>"
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Briar's development team is looking for feedback on today's beta release.
+ You can submit your feedback anonymously through the app
+ or publicly in the project's <a href="https://code.briarproject.org/akwizgran/briar/issues">issue tracker</a>.
+ Before the final release, changes to the peer-to-peer protocol are expected,
+ so users will not be able to migrate their accounts to the final version.
+ For security reasons, their <strong>accounts and data will expire</strong> with the beta.
+ </p>

+ <h3>About Briar</h3>
+ <p>
+ Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate.
+ Unlike traditional messaging tools such as email, Twitter or Telegram, Briar doesn't rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users' devices.
+ If the internet's down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis.
+ If the internet's up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Briar has received funding from <a href="https://smallmedia.org.uk">Small Media</a>,
+ the <a href="https://openitp.org/">Open Internet Tools Project</a>,
+ <a href="https://accessnow.org/">Access</a>
+ and the <a href="https://www.opentech.fund">Open Technology Fund</a>.
