Well, as I can't find a statement neither of the EFF nor of the CCC related to this program, instead found a review <http://sourceforge.net/projects/goldbug/?source=navbar#project-reviews> on sourceforge which indicates that the CCC has no idea of it, I'm highly sceptical about this. It does not have to be a a bad software, though. But picking big names to push forward a software won't let me trust it. Secondly, if PRISM was the intention to create a new secure messenger (I would interpret the description in this way), they cannot have created the program in this short time. Third, I cannot imagine "a kind of PGP". Is it PGP, is it something other? Additionally, Echo seems to be a protocol just for debugging purposes.
By only reading the description it seems that someone just salted it with good-looking keywords to catch attention. I would keep my hands of it.
