DatashareNetwork

Decentralized privacy-preserving search engine for investigative journalists

Investigative journalists collect large numbers of digital documents during their investigations. These documents can greatly benefit other journalists’ work. However, many of these documents contain sensitive information. Hence, possessing such documents can endanger reporters, their stories, and their sources. Consequently, many documents are used only for single, local, investigations. DatashareNetwork is a decentralized and privacy-preserving search system that enables journalists world-wide to find documents via a dedicated network of peers.
