SecureDrop is a free software platform for secure communication between journalists and sources (whistleblowers).

[6] The Freedom of the Press Foundation took over development of DeadDrop under the name SecureDrop, and has since assisted with its installation at several news organizations, including ProPublica, The Guardian, The Intercept, and The Washington Post.

[7][8][9] SecureDrop uses the anonymity network Tor to facilitate communication between whistleblowers, journalists, and news organizations.

Journalists use two USB flash drives and two personal computers to access SecureDrop data.

[3] Freedom of the Press Foundation has stated it will have the SecureDrop code and security environment audited by an independent third party before every major version release and then publish the results.
