Wickr – Leave No Trace

October 19, 2013

Wickr – Leave No Trace
https://www.mywickr.com/

Wickr was founded in San Francisco, California by a team of security and privacy experts that believe private communications is a universal human right that is extremely important to a free society. Today, that right is almost nonexistent. Wickr protects Article 12 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Wickr’s founders also believe that anonymous communications is important to our political and social discourse. Wickr supports the 1st Amendment of the United States. Their patent-pending technology brings sophisticated security and privacy to everybody. Wickr’s protocol for ephemeral messaging and media uses standard encryption algorithms (AES256, ECDH521, RSA 4096 &TLS) implemented for mobile devices. This protocol will be integrated into other communications platforms, creating a unified mobile messaging platform that is private, encrypted and anonymous. Wickr’s mission is to provide secure communications that Leave No Trace. People are being tracked online and their information is being sold in ways they do not understand by numerous governments and corporations throughout the world. Your private communications are worth money. Online communications should be untraceable by default. Companies like Apple, Facebook and Google offer messaging that is archived, easily traceable, controlled by the recipient, shared with strangers and sold to marketers. Wickr flips messaging on its head, giving control to the sender instead of the receiver (or servers in between). Wickr is the World Post Office™ and will become the most trusted communication system in the world by giving power to the people. This will be added to Privacy Resources Subject Tracer™.

Stremor Automated Summary and Abstract Generator

Stremor Automated Summary and Abstract Generator
https://www.mashape.com/stremor/stremor-automated-summary-and-abstract-generator#!documentation

Use the Automated Summaries API to generate instant 350 character (+/- 10%) summaries of long content from text or URLs. Summaries are returned as highly readable paragraphs with complete sentences for the best end-user experience. Use the returned content for executive summaries of internal documents, previews of articles, efficient mobile pages, email abstract previews, or just about any instance where your end user will benefit from a summary rather than simple snippet. Language Heuristics goes a step beyond Natural Language Processing to extract intent from text. Summaries are created through extraction, but maintain readability by keeping sentence dependencies intact. HTML pages are passed through a template removal process so that only the article text is summarized avoiding comments, menus, headers, and footers. Analysis of the document ranks sentences for importance identifying key concepts, entities, article points and conclusions.
