<h2>Requirements for the CryptoBox live-CD</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <i>CryptoBox live-CD</i> runs on any x86 compatible PC with:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>CPU: min. 200MHz</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>RAM: 64 MB</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>CD-ROM drive</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>a network connection</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>a harddisk for your data</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>The harddisk does not need to inside the of CryptoBox computer. You
|
||
|
|
can also use external devices like USB-drives.
|
||
|
|
All drives supported by the Linux kernel (2.6.20) can be used: IDE,
|
||
|
|
SCSI, USB, FireWire, SATA, RAID, ...</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Because of the high number of different supported storage media
|
||
|
|
we call an encrypted disk a <i>volume</i>.
|
||
|
|
This includes (e.g.): USB-sticks, firewire-disks, flash-drives, digital cameras,
|
||
|
|
MP3-player, MMC/SD-cards.</p>

<h2>Requirements of the CryptoBox-Server</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <i>CryptoBox-Server</i> package can be installed on any system with at least:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Linux kernel 2.6</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>cryptsetup with LUKS support</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>kernel support for the <i>crypt</i> target of the <i>device mapper</i></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Python 2.4</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>In general a server package should run on any Linux
|
||
|
|
distribution, but we only provide Debian packages. So you have to
|
||
|
|
install the necessary files on your own to the right places if
|
||
|
|
you are using a different linux distribution.</p>

<h2>File access</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Once you openend an encrypted volume through the web frontend of
|
||
|
|
the <i>CryptoBox</i> you can access the volume's data within your local
|
||
|
|
network via:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Samba shares (also known as: <i>windows network share</i>)</li>
|
||
|
|
<!-- <li>WebDAV (aka: <i>web folder</i>)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>nfs (*nix file sharing)</li> -->
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <i>CryptoBox-Server</i> package will smoothly integrate into your existing
|
||
|
|
fileserver. It provides mount points which can be shared via your
|
||
|
|
favourite protocols (e.g.: WebDAV or NFS).</p>

<h2>Encryption</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>The encrypted disk partitions are <a href="http://luks.endorphin.org/">LUKS</a>
|
||
|
|
volumes. This makes it also possible to access your data directly with
|
||
|
|
every modern linux system or via <a href="http://freeotfe.org/">FreeOTFE</a>
|
||
|
|
(for Microsoft products).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can select your favourite encryption algorithm from all
|
||
|
|
ciphers supported by the linux kernel. The default is
|
||
|
|
<i>aes-cbc-essiv:sha256</i> (AES in CBC mode with ESSIV based on
|
||
|
|
SHA256).</p>
