rsync.net Warrant Canary

                  
We at rsync.net have a policy of full cooperation with warrants and subpoenas properly served.
              
Further, we will respect whatever secrecy of contents, targets and methods that these instruments require and will work faithfully to preserve and protect whatever investigation may be underway.

As we are neither an ISP nor a carrier, and more akin to a safe deposit box, our customers have an expectation of privacy and security in their digital possessions and it is important for them to know:
            
          
- When access is granted to third parties, such as law enforcement

- The frequency of events that draw the attention of law enforcement


The mere event of service, or receipt, is immediately relevant and actionable to our customers, our board of directors and our legal counsel.

... and yet, existing and proposed laws, especially as relate to the USA Patriot Act, provide for secret warrants, or subpoenas with gag orders, such that their mere existence cannot be disclosed.


Therefore:


rsync.net will make available, weekly, a "warrant canary" in the form of a cryptographically signed message containing a list of all warrants and subpoenas served since 2006.

This message will be cryptographically signed with our well-known public key and will include various headlines and sports scores that establish currency.
   
Special note should be taken if these messages ever cease being updated, or are removed from this page.


Our public key is:      https://www.rsync.net/resources/pubkey.txt


Notes:


- This process is not infallible.

- Although signing the declaration makes it impossible for a third party to produce arbitrary declarations, it does not prevent them from using force to coerce rsync.net to produce false declarations.

- News headlines and sports scores in the signed message serves to demonstrate that that update could not have been created prior to that date.  It shows that a series of these updates were not created in advance and posted on this page.
