Tool to circumvent internet censorship set to launch.

Researchers at University of Toronto plan to introduce a software tool 
on Friday that aims to help people in countries that censor the World 
Wide Web.

Psiphon (pronounced sigh-fawn), a web-based utility, lets individuals in 
a country that censors the internet sign on to a server that gives them 
secure access to web pages anywhere, bypassing government restrictions.

Its creators plan to launch the software at the Protect The Net 
conference at the university's Munk Centre for International Studies, 
where psiphon emerged as a project of Citizenlab. Researchers at the 
facility examine the relationship between digital media and politics 
around the world.
