<h3>Security, Trust, Validation and Verifiability</h3>
<p>
+ The OpenPrivacy security model is based on the user's capability to
+ have control over and optionally publish their profile in chunks
+ under a multitude of apparently unrelated pseudonyms. This prevents
+ "data triangulation" methods used by numerous agencies and
+ corporations to accurately identify a person from their activities,
+ even when their name is not known. Users can create Bias objects
+ that contain references to a collection of Opinions that may or may
+ not all belong to themselves, and in fact the Bias itself can be
+ formed under yet another pseudonym. The Sierra Reputation
+ Management System transparently handles user-level nym management,
+ and a well designed RMS will flag any potential data leaks as
+ dangerous.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ We do not attempt to defeat traffic analysis mechanisms nor locality
+ of reference or storage attacks. Rather, our communications are
+ transport agnostic, and we expect that many users will avail
+ themselves of a growing number of anonymous and censorship-resistant
+ publishing mechanisms such as Freenet and Free Haven.
+ </p>
