Computer engineers at Drexel University developed a pair of open-source software programs that could help protect the free speech of whistle-blowers and protestors, among other groups. One program uses a series of filters to determine the author of a document from a group of possible writers, while the other helps to make a writer truly anonymous by hiding patters in writing style.
