SafeCode is a software/hardware solution to handle digital safe-calls for independent in-call sex work.
Project Status
- 2013-06-01: Started thinking about/planning.
Hardware
- Small/portable box
- Rugged design, as it will be thrown in bags/traveled with constantly
- USB connected/powered
- Keypad on top to enter data (Storm 6000-21001, telephone-style 12 key + Cancel, Clear, Help, Enter)
- Lighting to provide feedback for "entry received" and such
- Beeper for indicating exceeding check-in time without checking in
Software
- Daemon that runs on the local machine talking to the SafeCode box
- Web service that runs on an outside server that reports status to others
- Keepalives between all components to indicate that a connection was broken
Web Service Architecture
- Sinatra-based daemon
- Accepts WebSocket connections from the daemon talking to the SafeCode box and monitors to ensure that connection stays open and that keepalives are being received
- Serves web pages & uses WebSockets to update status in real-time for anyone monitoring
- Keeps state of:
- Current geographical location
- Connectivity to daemon
- Daemon's connectivity to the SafeCode box
- Session status (in/not in session)
- Time of next expected check-in (if in session)
