Privacy and Identity Management for Communities - Communities for Privacy and Identity Management

Internet communities are spreading rapidly in all areas of life. For their members, they are central to their social networking and information sharing. In those communities, many elements of identity management are used for fundamental functions. For example, a cross-domain identity management infrastructure is often used to exchange (partial) identities with third party providers in order to generate benefits for those involved. However, this also implies privacy risks, due to the cross-domain exchange of identity information, or due to centralized data processing. The implementation of privacy-friendly technologies has not kept pace with the rapid spread of communities. On the other hand, communities can as well be utilized for improving data privacy. Many successful privacy-enhancing technologies are provided by communities of enthusiasts. They often gather for ideological reasons, to jointly contribute to a better privacy on the Web.

The goal of this workshop is to attract scientists, practitioners, representatives of communities and providers of community platforms to enable an interdisciplinary discussion illuminating this vibrant field of Internet culture.

Please note: The deadline for submissions has been moved to May 16, 2001.

Today, JonDos publishes a new version of the JonDo-Software, an IP changer and IP anonymization program, that you can use for anonymous surfing in the Internet.

What's new?
JonDo now contains an assistant that should especially guide new users to a proper setup. It automatically identifies the reason of connection problems and configuration errors, and provides suitable solutions to the user. Guided by an ergonomics study, the user interface has been simplified. The controlling of JonDo was thereby made much more intuitive. Additionally, the anti censorship function has been enhanced and was made easier to access. The censorship circumvention included in JonDo helps people from countries where parts of the Internet are blocked to get free access to information. Moreover, the new version of JonDo is significantly faster in updating and processing network information and contains many enhancements in details and error corrections.

State: Bavaria
Country: DE
Serial Number: 2210920992458561 (07:DA:D2:28:61:C7:41)
SHA1 Fingerprint: 84:78:73:F0:9F:25:17:F3:08:3A:3D:DB:D1:C4:2C:BD:C7:3D:38:AA

As far as the certificate information is the same as presented here, you may safely ignore the warnings from CertPatrol.

Today, the JonDos GmbH publishes the new version of JonDoFox, a privacy-friendly web browser, that you may also use for anonymous surfing, e.g. over anonymous proxy servers.

JonDoFox is both a profile (current version: 2.5.0) and an extension (current version: 0.2.8 ) for the popular Mozilla Firefox web browser. It protects the user's privacy while surfing the web. As it is open source software and free to use, it is an ideal add-on for anonymization services like JonDonym and Tor, but may also be used without anonymization software.

...to all of our customers and partners! May the year 2011 be full of luck and success for you and your family!

Today, we introduced new monthly payment rates for the JonDonym anonymization service. They provide lower prices for people with moderate or low monthly web surfing volumes.

Due to the recent activities of Strategy&Finance, and regarding the activities of this Mix operator in the past, we had to cancel all contracts with Strategy&Finance today and with immediate effect. As we cannot tolerate the disrespectful verbal and public attacks against us and other JonDonym operators any longer, we were forced to this final decision. If you have detailed questions regarding this action, you may ask us (JonDos) or the other operators for more information.

Today and tomorrow, we will publish our new web pages. This may cause some links to be temporarily unavailable. If problems remain after 2010-10-01, please send us a short message. You might have a look on our new anonymity test. It will be still under development within the next two weeks, but it already contains a lot of remarkable privacy tests.

Today, we reduced the prices per GByte for the JonDonym anonymization service by more than 39% by introducing a new traffic rate: The "Large" rate provides a monthly volume of 5 GByte highly secure, anonymized traffic, for only 18,75 Euro per month. This rate is ideal for web surfers that often download large files anonymously.

Please note: For using the new rate, you have to upgrade your JonDo to at least version 00.13.001. Earlier versions will not display the rate correctly and will show the rate as consumed after 5 GByte.
