Description
Hello.
The guardianproject created a number of libraries for developers to use in their software to improve their security.
I would like to make the suggestion that you implement their NetCipher[1] libraries into RedReader.
The biggest benefits would be
- Sane cipher suite choices to improve the security to https instances of RedReader
- socks proxy support
- support for Orbot (tor for android) without the need to have a rooted device

Research direction
Start by reading the linked Guardian Project NetCipher documentation and reviewing RedReader's Android application context. Define the integration scope around the three requested benefits—cipher suite choices, SOCKS proxy support, and unrooted Orbot support—and consider the absence of named files or tests before implementation. Done should provide the agreed security and proxy behavior in RedReader.
