Whisper Systems

Whisper Systems produces security and privacy software applications for mobile communications devices running the Android operating system including WhisperMonitor, Flashback, WhisperCore, RedPhone, and TextSecure.[7]

Hold Fast

Hold Fast[8] is a storytelling video that documents Moxie Marlinspike and three friends (referred to as "Allie," "Lisa," and "Kirsten") who travel to Florida after a hurricane with very little money and the intention to find a boat. Even with almost no experience, they manage to find a hurricane-wrecked boat, restore it into passable shape, and sail it from Florida to Haiti.
