Using Technology to Protect Anonymous Sources?
A not-so Anonymous Anonymous Coward asks: "The New York Times has a story describing how newspapers are looking for new ways to hide the identities of anonymous sources from prosecutors. This seems like a something the Slashdot crowd might know something about. How can a newspaper setup an IT system that completely hides every trace (including emails, phone calls notes, logs and so forth) of an anonymous source's identity?"
just refer to them as Anonymous Cowards and leave it at that?
...how NY Times wants anonymous sources, but wants us to sign up to read the article about it.
By the time they come asking where the sources came from, all the data will be gone.
