What is a DemocraKey?

So, you’ve heard about it, but you aren’t sure what it does. What is a DemocraKey, exactly?

It’s software to protect your computer while you’re working on the internet.

It provides a layer of protection from viruses, a layer of protection from people trying to see what sites you’re visiting, and a layer of protection to stop hackers from viewing files you don’t want them to.

In a word, it does what computers already should do: Look out for your privacy and security.

A DemocraKey is a portable piece of software that works on any computer. Just walk up, plug in a DemocraKey, and you can be assured your files are much safer, your computer is better protected while browsing the web, and nobody will be able to tell which site you’re visiting.

So who can use a DemocraKey?

People in Restrictive Governments

If you live in a government that tries to regulate freedom of speech or thought on the internet, a DemocraKey will help you circumvent their restrictions while making it very difficult to catch you doing so. It is possible to build a DemocraKey nobody can prove exists, but really does. Neat stuff, huh?

People Traveling the World

It’s difficult to trust the security of third world internet cafes. Carrying a DemocraKey while traveling gives you a secure way to access your financial information while on the road, and makes sure none of your email can be read by a snooping government.

College Students

It happens to every male college student who isn’t computer saavy. Their computer gets a virus when they go to an “entertainment” site that installs software on their computer without asking them. Thanks to the software, they’re constantly being asked if they want to enlarge body parts or look at interesting pictures. Using a DemocraKey while surfing provides another layer of protection from these sort of sites. The DemocraKey makes it very difficult for them to install any software, and helps remove any that’s already on the computer. Breathe easy, you can take your laptop back home to your parents.

Lawyers

Are you working with information that can’t get out? Working with a DemocraKey ensures nobody can read or access documents without having both the DemocraKey and the passcode. It also helps keep your computer clean and free of keyloggers.

Everyone!

If you use a computer, you deserve privacy, and access to any information you want. The DemocraKey helps you find what you’re looking for without letting anyone else know what you’re into. So search for llamas drinking goat milk to your heart’s content, without worry. You’re protected.

So What’s the Catch?

There is no catch! The DemocraKey is 100% free and Open Source. It was created by people who care passionately about things like freedom of thought and personal privacy. We believe this technology should be accessible by everyone, not just the people who can afford it. So make your own and then make one for your friends. Give them away for all we care!
