Description: forward secure, asynchronous messaging for the discerning
 For secure, synchronous communication we have OTR and, when run over Tor, this
 is pretty good. But while we have secure asynchronous messaging in the form of
 PGP email, it's not forward secure and it gratuitously leaks traffic
 information. While a desire for forward secure PGP is hardly new, it still
 hasn't materialised in a widely usable manner.
 .
 Additionally, email is used predominately for insecure communications (mailing
 lists, etc) and is useful because it allows previously unconnected people to
 communicate as long as a (public) email address is known to one party. But the
 flip side to this is that volume and spam are driving people to use
 centralised email services. These provide such huge benefits to the majority
 of email communication, so it's unlikely that this trend is going to reverse.
 But, even with PGP, these services are trusted with hugely valuable traffic
 information if any party uses them.
 .
 So Pond is not email. Pond is forward secure, asynchronous messaging for the
 discerning. Pond messages are asynchronous, but are not a record; they expire
 automatically a week after they are received. Pond seeks to prevent leaking
 traffic information against everyone except a global passive attacker.
 .
 This package contains the command line client only; the GUI is currently not
 available in Debian, but may be in the future.
