Matthew Green is the real deal. Truecrypt is extremely popular and not already well assessed. If you're wondering whether this could be helpful for ensuring end-user privacy, the answer is yes.

I couldn't make any pledge input work (just kept getting errors) but I'm matching Matthew Green's own pledge.

Until the pledge system is fixed we (Ionic Security) will pledge here. To get this ball moving a bit faster we pledge $10,000 USD.

Email in profile for confirmation.

Couldn't your organization participate in some capacity (i.e. $ or talent) in order to attract more customers and/or talent?

They are asking for money, not grandstanding. I believe in what they're trying to do and have a lot of confidence in them as professionals, so I have no trouble doing what they asked instead of what I might rather do.

Putting forth a good-faith effort, towards an admirable goal, is not grandstanding, the way I see it.

If you want to offer talent, I won't accuse you of grandstanding. For my part, saying "we could help do the assessment" feels like grandstanding. They asked for money, and this seems like a worthwhile cause to donate to.
