Thanks Gary for linking us up.</div><div><br></div><div>As brief background, we've been looking at how we can make audio/visual tools more secure and give protection for their users and subjects featured on captured media, and a small grant made it possible for us to explore a 'secure cam' app for iOS back around April last year. The rationale for iOS wasn't we all love Apple :-) but rather it struck me that the iPod Touch could be configured in to a powerful audio/visual tool for journalists and CJs. As part of our work, Internews has at times distributed Flips and other cameras to Js and CJs. So, there was a question whether an iPod Touch could be distributed instead, pre-packed with the tools required. </div><div><br></div><div>I used to run an Internews project in Sri Lanka and we worked closely with journalists. One of the things that struck me was the possible use of a blur cam at protests. If protests holding signs had their faces blurred out, it would certainly protect them from backlash. Though with literally hundreds of photos being taken, there was of course no guarantees – but that was the idea. </div><div><br></div><div>I have attached an internal document which clearly describes the functionality/use of TERC. Please treat this as an internal document. TERC is only for photos only – though I've thought about how we can run a video clip in slow-mo and use a finger to blur aspects of the video. In the design, I've shied away from attempting to automate facial detection because from past experience facial detection is not a perfect process and depends on lighting conditions, etc… Though I know the algorithms have improved significantly, and ObscuraCam seems to do a good job.</div><div><br></div><div>Right now, TERC is available in prototype/ beta. As I mentioned the budget allocated was relatively small, and we are plotting the next moves. </div><div><br></div><div>I'd love to know more about the encryption functionality you guys are exploring on the iOS. It'd be great to get a conversation going and build a community of developers around iOS (and other platforms like Blackberry) who can develop apps prioritising encryption and security features. </div><div><br></div><div>Trust you are well. Look forward to hearing from you. Happy to do a call if that's a more efficient form of comms.</div><div><br></div><div>Best, Sam.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><a name="_MailAutoSig"><b><span style="font-size: 9pt; color: rgb(0, 32, 96); ">Sam de Silva</span></b></a><span><span style="font-size: 9pt; "> | Innovation Advisor, Asia<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span></span><span style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; "><span style="font-size: 9pt; color: blue; ">sdesilva@internews.org</span></span><a href="mailto:email@internews.org"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000ff"><span></span></font></a><span><span style="font-size: 9pt; "> | <b>Voip </b>+61 3</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; ">-9018-7003</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span><span style="font-size: 9pt; "><b>Office </b> </span></span><span><span style="font-size: 9pt; ">+66 </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; ">2-651-5544</span><span><span style="font-size: 9pt; "> | <b>Skype </b>on request<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span><b><span style="font-size: 9pt; ">Address</span></b></span><span><span style="font-size: 9pt; "> c/- <o:p></o:p></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; ">29 Vanissa Building, 19th Floor, Room 19 C,</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14px; margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Soi Chidlom, Ploenchit Road, Pathumwan,</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14px; margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Bangkok, Thailand 10330</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14px; margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14px; margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; "><span><b><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 46, 98); ">INTERNEWS</span></b></span><span><span style="color: rgb(23, 54, 93); "> </span></span><span><span>|</span></span><span><b><span style="font-size: 9pt; color: rgb(0, 112, 192); "> </span></b></span><span><b><span style="font-size: 9pt; color: rgb(13, 92, 171); ">Local Voices.
