Silent Circle's Warrant Canary

Existing and proposed laws, especially as relate to the US Patriot Act,
etc., provide for secret warrants, searches and seizures of data, such as
library records.

Some such laws provide for criminal penalties for revealing the warrant,
search or seizure, disallowing the disclosure of events that would
materially affect the users of a service such as those provided by
Silent Circle LLC and subsidiary domains and services.

Silent Circle LLC and its principals and employees will in fact comply with
such warrants and their provisions for secrecy as legally prescribed by US
law.

Silent Circle LLC will also make available, weekly, a "warrant canary" in
the form of a cryptographically signed message containing the following:

	- a declaration that, up to that point, no warrants have been
	  served, nor have any searches or seizures taken place

	- a cut and paste headline from a major news source, establishing
	  date

Special note should be taken if these messages ever cease being updated, or
are removed from this page.

This scheme is not infallible. Although digitally signing the declaration
makes it impossible for a third party to forge arbitrary declarations, it does
not prevent them from using force to coerce us to produce false declarations.
The news clip in the signed message serves to demonstrate that that update
could not have been created prior to that date. It shows that a series of
these updates were not created in advance and posted on this page.
