Using Technology to Protect Anonymous Sources?

Posted by Cliff on from the empowering-the-4th-estate dept.

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?"

    Forget about encryption, anonymous re-mailers etc. and just make stuff up like Jason Blair (and others) did.
