<h2>About Us</h2>
<p><strong>Michael Rogers</strong> started the Briar project to support freedom of expression, freedom of association and the right to privacy. He has studied and built peer-to-peer systems for over a decade and contributed to Freenet and LimeWire.</p>
<p><strong>Eleanor Saitta</strong> is a hacker, designer, artist, writer, and barbarian. She has been working as a security consultant since 2003, specializing in security design and strategy, and makes a living and a vocation of understanding how complex sociotechnical systems operate and redesigning them to work, or at least fail, better.</p>
<p><strong>Torsten Grote</strong> is a Free Software activist and programmer. He studied computer science as well as philosophy and is interested in various topics of technology-enabled social and political change. As a member of the Free Software Foundation Europe, he ran their Free Your Android campaign to show people how they can use their mobile device securely and in freedom.</p>
<p><strong>Julian Dehm</strong> is an advocate of freedom of speech and movement. He studies computer science at Freie Universität Berlin with a focus on security and privacy. He's contributing to Briar in his spare time and is working on a funded project to improve Briar's battery usage and message delivery even when contacts are not online at the same time.</p>
<p><strong>Benedikt Wieder</strong> has contributed to a variety of open source projects ranging from artistic tools to security applications. During his bachelor studies in Computer Science he researched and worked with variations of the Kademlia distributed hash table (DHT) and the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for use in secure communication.</p>

title: 'Briar - Darknet Messenger Releases Beta, Passes Security Audit'
---
Press Release
-------------
##### July 21 2017
After extensive private beta tests, the first public beta of Briar was
[released
today](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.briarproject.briar.beta).
Briar is a secure messaging app for Android.
Unlike other popular apps, Briar does not require servers to work. It
connects users directly using a **peer-to-peer network**. This makes it
resistant to censorship and allows it to work even without internet
access.
The app encrypts all data end-to-end and also **hides metadata** about
who is communicating. This is the [next step in the evolution of secure
messaging](https://blog.grobox.de/2016/briar-next-step-of-the-crypto-messenger-evolution/).
No communication ever enters the public internet. Everything is sent via
the [Tor anonymity network](https://www.torproject.org) or local
networks.
With today's beta release, the Briar team also publishes the results of
an **independent security audit** ([PDF](/raw/BRP-01-report.pdf)). It
was performed by [Cure53](https://cure53.de) 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 "*the quality and readability of the
app’s source code was rather exceptional*" and highlight "*a good
understanding of vulnerability patterns and threats*". All the issues
found by the audit have been addressed in this beta release. The report
concludes that Briar "*is able to offer a **good level of privacy and
security**. In other words, the Briar secure messenger can be
recommended for use.*"
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 [issue
tracker](https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/issues). 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 **accounts and data will expire** with the
beta.

### About Briar
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.
Briar has received funding from [Small
Media](https://smallmedia.org.uk), the [Open Internet Tools
Project](https://web.archive.org/web/20160413063937/https://www.openitp.org/),
[Access](https://accessnow.org/) and the [Open Technology
Fund](https://www.opentech.fund).

title: 'Briar - Secure P2P Messenger Releases First Version, Receives New Funding'
---
### Press Release
##### May 9 2018
The peer-to-peer messenger Briar released its first stable version
today. It is available for Android devices from [Google
Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.briarproject.briar.android)
or [F-Droid](/fdroid). This release follows a [security
audit](/news/2017-beta-released-security-audit/) and a 10 month public
beta period during which many bugs were fixed and lots of feedback was
received. The Briar Project wishes to thank all beta testers for their
contributions.
The development of Briar will continue with help from the [Open
Technology Fund](https://www.opentech.fund/), which has previously
supported the project as part of its mission to promote internet freedom
worldwide. New features planned for 2018 aim to address the most urgent
needs of the community. They include the ability to add contacts
remotely without first verifying identities in person. Also planned are
image attachments for messages and improved battery life. During this
work, the Briar team will also lay the groundwork for an eventual
desktop client.
Lots of people have asked for an iOS version of Briar, but bringing the
P2P messenger to the iPhone is challenging, because Apple [does not
allow long-lived network
connections](https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/issues/445) in
the background which are needed for P2P messaging.
The German [Prototype Fund](https://prototypefund.de/) is supporting
Briar in developing [a
feature](https://code.briarproject.org/goapunk/briar-repeater/tree/master#briar-repeater)
that will allow users to send each other messages even if they are not
online at the same time. This will increase users' reachability and
further improve battery life.

title: 'Briar 1.1 released with dark theme, new emoji and more'
---
### Press Release
##### September 14 2018
The Briar Project released version 1.1 of its Android app today. This
release adds new features following the app's [first public
release](/news/2018-1.0-released-new-funding/) in May.
Thanks to support from the [Open Technology
Fund](https://www.opentech.fund/), the new release has a dark theme
designed by [Ura Design](http://www.ura.design/). Users can switch
between the light and dark themes, or use an automatic mode that
activates the dark theme at night. The conversation screen has also been
redesigned, with rounded message bubbles and a new color scheme.
This release also adds lots of new emoji and the ability to modify emoji
skin tones. Illustrative screenshots are available below.
To protect the user's privacy when other people are using the device,
this release makes it possible to lock Briar without signing out. The
device's PIN or password is needed to unlock the app. On recent versions
of Android, the app can also be unlocked with a fingerprint.
Briar now reminds the user to sign back in after restarting the device
or upgrading the app.
Briar uses the Tor network to connect users with their contacts. But in
some countries, [access to Tor is blocked](http://grobox.de/tor). Briar
will now try to detect this and use bridges to access the Tor network
when needed. Bridges are computers run by volunteers around the world
that help to provide access to the Tor network when it's blocked.
Today's release is the first major release to use a [reproducible build
process](https://blog.grobox.de/2018/building-briar-reproducible-and-why-it-matters/),
which means it's possible to prove that the release was built from the
published source code, with no backdoors or other hidden changes. The
Briar Project encourages people to verify this independently, and has
published [tools](https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar-reproducer)
to make the verification as easy as possible.
Work on the next big release is already under way. Among other things,
the Briar Project is working on a new way to add contacts securely
without meeting in person, and support for attaching images to messages.
