PanicKit is a collection of tools for letting panic trigger and panic receiver apps safely and easily connect to each other. The trigger apps are the part that the user will actual engage when in a panic situation. The receiver apps receive the trigger signal from the trigger apps when the user has initiated the panic response. The connections between trigger and receiver can be strictly enforced based on packageName and APK signing key.

An overview of the PanicKit and how to use it is here: https://guardianproject.info/code/panickit

Downloads

The binary jar, source jar, and javadoc jar are all available on jcenter(), and they all include GPG signatures. To include this library using gradle, add this line to your build.gradle:

Reproducible Build

To build your own jars from source and recreate the exact same files, bit-for-bit, as the official releases, strip-nondeterminism is required to set the timestamps in the ZIP headers to match the timestamp in the git release tag (e.g. 0.2).

To install it on Debian/jessie, Ubuntu/vivid/15.04 or newer, just do:

sudo apt-get install dh-strip-nondeterminism

For Ubuntu/trusty/14.04, add our PPA:

curl 'https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x6B80A84207B30AC9DEE235FEF50EADDD2234F563' | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:guardianproject/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dh-strip-nondeterminism
