I saw a documentary a while back that identifies many major countries that have dedicated groups of people who monitors online activities to capture and snoop on online traffic on a daily basis. The documentary suggest that they not only track and monitor their own citizens but steals industrial information to help their own local companies to give them the added advantage.

I am not really surprised to know that but it came to my mind that there are many entities throughout the world that requires secure communications on the Internet. These sensitive groups include the military, government bodies, privacy groups, research labs and etc. In general, the online needs for these groups must meet a few basic requirements:

• Prevent easy ears dropping
• Identify the real identity of the server they are connecting to
• Able to host their own server hardware in secure data centers
• Software used cannot be dominated by a particular group, organization, country or company

I guess there are a lot more requirements but these are the common ones. The critical question then is how do you easily implement such a set of secure online communication tools for them without spending major time and effort? Well, if you do have such a need, why not try Hiitch out! Hiitch have build in features that solves those basic requirements out of the box. Plus it is open source so it allows you to customize your own solution under the GPL v3.
