Unimportant trivia from a Swedish speaker:
Mullvad means mole (for the tunnelling more than planted spy connotations, hopefully), and the "Tillit" part of the name means trust.
They're working on some IKEA style naming, which I enjoy.
- kfreds 4y agoThanks! The other news of today is that we've started a second sister company - Glasklar Teknik AB - which will focus on maintenance and development of System Transparency and Sigsum. System Transparency: Mullvad's security architecture we'll use to eventually make our running VPN systems transparent. Sigsum: A transparency log design with distributed trust assumptions (witness cosigning).
- croon 4y agoGlad to hear it! Both valiant efforts, and good naming here too. For non-speakers; "Glasklar" means literally "glass clear", but makes more sense to explain as the phrase in Swedish equivalent to "clear as day".
