+# Betrusted Software
+
+I am thrilled to announce that I will be collaborating with
+[bunnie][bunnie] and [xobs][xobs] on the [betrusted][betrusted]
+project with a focus on software.
+
+Betrusted aims to provide a user verifiable, trustworthy device for
+secure communications. That's why the device by intentionally limited in
+functionality.

+
+This means that Betrusted is not a "smartphone": it can’t browse the web; it
+has no “app store”; it won’t hail rides for you; and it can’t help you
+navigate a city. However, it will be able to keep your private
+conversations private, give you a solid second factor for
+authentication, and perhaps provide a safe spot to store digital
+currency.
+
+Betrusted software is the application project companion for the
+Betrusted hardware device. Going beyond just end-to-end encryption the
+Betrusted project ensures that Human-Computer Interaction is also
+secure from key loggers and screen grabbers. The software will include
+an input method editor to facilitate entering text in both Latin and
+Asian languages as well as a graphics toolkit for the ultra low power
+display. This project will develop a secure messaging application on
+top of these input/output libraries while meeting the constraint that
+all software must fit in an extraordinarily small memory footprint (4 MiB RAM).
+
+Later today in Leipzig at the [36th Chaos Communication Congress][36c3]
+[bunnie][bunnie] will present
+[Open Source is Insufficient to Solve Trust Problems in Hardware][trust-hardware].
+
+Stay tuned for further updates on the Betrusted hardware, OS and
+software projects.
+
+The [Betrusted Software][betrusted-software] project is made possible with
+financial support  from [NLnet][nlnet] and the
+[NG10 Privacy & Trust Enhancing Technologies Fund][pet].
