Title: Anonymous Hardware: Secure Cameras
Post by: surmer on April 12, 2013, 05:02 pm
HD cameras that aren't filled with EXIF data.... I might be revealing how lazy/stupid I am, but as a wanna-be underground journalist, I would like to take pictures of every drug I get from SR and eventually of my chemical assays....

Here's what I'm after.

HD cameras with encryption options. I guess one route would be to just unlock a smart phone and encrypt with open source, but it's something others might be interested in too, who don't want to commit to the time to develop their own Secure Camera.

Any thoughts, comments? Thanks in advance.

Just spit-balling, so....

If this were my project, I would forgo looking for a commercial option, but that's just me.

Pick an Android phone with amazing camera

Unlock and do the whole debugging mode thing

Deploy one of the stripped back droid distros, or the fully open source one even if you are inclined.

Install Cryptonite - Use it to create and mount a Truecrypt compatible encrypted container

Funk with the settings so the camera points to the encrypted container by default

Lock phone with additional measures of choice

Keep the phone on flight mode ( or even better, see if it will operate without the sim installed )


Of course there are all sorts of risks with this idea and with the whole idea in general, but my 2c's worth regardless. :-)

Interested to see if you find a dedicated commercial solution though.

Thanks. I'll keep you posted. Cell phone offers additional security for the sake of disguise....
