SecureDrop

There are many ways to contribute to SecureDrop, and we welcome your help! By contributing to this project, you agree to abide by our Code of Conduct.

CircleCI branch codecov Translation status Gitter

SecureDrop is an open-source whistleblower submission system that media organizations can use to securely accept documents from, and communicate with anonymous sources. It was originally created by the late Aaron Swartz and is currently managed by the Freedom of the Press Foundation.

Documentation

SecureDrop's end user documentation is hosted at https://docs.securedrop.org. It is maintained in a standalone repository: https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-docs.

By default, the documentation describes the most recent SecureDrop release. This is known as the stable version and is recommended for end users (Sources, Journalists, or Administrators). The latest documentation is automatically built from the most recent commit to the SecureDrop documentation repository. It is most useful for developers and contributors to the project. You can switch between versions of the documentation by using the toolbar in the bottom left corner of the Read the Docs screen.

Developer documentation can be found at https://developers.securedrop.org/, maintained in https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-dev-docs/.
