What does the CryptoBox do?

+

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.

+ +

The CryptoBox brings easy to use data encryption to your + computer. This works out of the box and doesn't need complicated + configuration steps.

+ +

Here comes a small usage example for the CryptoBox with a discarded + PC as fileserver:

+ +

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.

+ +

I successfully opened a volume. How can I access the data now?

+

CryptoBox-Server: you should ask your administrator. In case + you are the administrator, then you should take a look at the configuration + file for the MountDir setting. Publish this directory via your + favourite fileserver (e.g. samba, webdav, nfs, ftp, ...) and tell your + users how to reach it.

+

CryptoBox-CD: browse the network neighborhood for the CryptoBox server + (windows), scan the network (KDE or Gnome) or type something like the + following into your favourite terminal to mount a volume:
+ smbmount //IP_OF_CRYPTOBOX/VOLUME_NAME /media/FOO

+
+ +
+ +

Recently I partitioned my harddisk. Now I can open the volume without a + password. Isn't it encrypted anymore?

+

The partition manager creates non-encrypted volumes by default. If you want + to enable encryption for a volume, then you have to format it. Be aware + that this will erase all data of the volume.

+
+ +
+ +

How can I restrict access to certain data?

+

The CryptoBox does not support user and access management for now. Everyone + in your local network can access all open volumes for reading and writing. + This behavior is based on the assumption, that there are no evil guys in + your local network. Please take care for this!

+

For the next major release (v0.4) we plan to implement user and access + management.

+
+ +
+ +

There is a user manager available via preferences. + What is it good for?

+

These administrative users can access restricted parts of the CryptoBox + (e.g. the plugin manager or the network settings).

+

Users who just want to open and close volumes do not need an + administrative account.

+
+ +
+ +

How do I use the server package from the Debian Repository?

+

The CryptoBox server package is not in the official Debian + Repository, for now. But you can use our Repository for the installation.

+

First add the following to your "/etc/apt/sources.list": +
deb http://systemausfall.org/toolforge/debian unstable + main

+

Second run:
apt-get update && apt-get install + cryptobox-server
