<h2>What does the CryptoBox do?</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Usually all your files like phone numbers, love letters, bank
|
||
|
|
account data etc. are stored in plaintext on your computers
|
||
|
|
harddisk. All the data is accessable by anyone who has access to the
|
||
|
|
harddisk. This is very bad in case someone you don't trust has
|
||
|
|
your harddisk. E.g. a thief that steals your notebook, or breaks
|
||
|
|
in your house or company. If the thief has your disk he/she can
|
||
|
|
also read all the files that where saved on it, no matter if you
|
||
|
|
have a login password - the files are always stored in
|
||
|
|
plaintext.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The <b>CryptoBox</b> brings easy to use data encryption to your
|
||
|
|
computer. This works out of the box and doesn't need complicated
|
||
|
|
configuration steps.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Here comes a small usage example for the CryptoBox with a discarded
|
||
|
|
PC as fileserver:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>You boot up the old PC with the CryptoBox live-CD. After the
|
||
|
|
completed boot process you can access it with your browser via
|
||
|
|
network. Then you partition and reformat the harddisk of the old
|
||
|
|
PC with encryption support. Therefore you provide a passphrase.
|
||
|
|
This is all done through the user friendly webinterface. You can
|
||
|
|
also plug in an external harddisk and use this for encrypted data
|
||
|
|
storage. Afterwards you copy your sensitive data over the local
|
||
|
|
network to the CryptoBox. It is stored on its harddisk in a
|
||
|
|
secure way. Nobody can access the data, without giving the right
|
||
|
|
passphrase before.</p>
