<h2>You are server admin?</h2>
<p>Take a look at the <a
href="http://devel.cryptobox.org/file/trunk/README">README
file</a>. There you find more detailed information about the
installation and configuration of the CryptoBox-Server
package.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="content">
<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>
</div>
<div class="content">
<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>
</div>
<div class="content">
<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>
</div>
<div class="content">
<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>
