The SecureDrop Client is a desktop application for journalists to communicate with sources and work with submissions on the SecureDrop Workstation. It runs within a Qubes OS virtual machine that has no direct network access and opens files within individual, non-networked, disposable VMs.
This repository contains multiple components, including:
client: desktop GUI applicationexport: logic for exporting submissionslog: centralized logging QubesDBproxy: restricted HTTP proxyworkstation-config: configuration for SecureDrop Workstation templates
Each component's folder has a README with more detail.
To learn more about architecture and our rationale behind our Qubes OS approach, see the SecureDrop Workstation readme.
We initially piloted this project with a small number of news organizations; see our blog post for additional information. In July 2024, we transitioned SecureDrop Workstation to an open beta with the 1.0.0 release.
