<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>

<div class="content faq">
<a name="access_data"></a>
<h3>I successfully opened a volume. How can I access the data now?</h3>
<p><i>CryptoBox-Server</i>: you should ask your administrator. In case
you are the administrator, then you should take a look at the configuration
file for the <i>MountDir</i> setting. Publish this directory via your
favourite fileserver (e.g. samba, webdav, nfs, ftp, ...) and tell your
users how to reach it.</p>
<p><i>CryptoBox-CD</i>: 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:<br/>
<tt>smbmount //IP_OF_CRYPTOBOX/VOLUME_NAME /media/FOO</tt></p>
</div>
<div class="content faq">
<a name="plaintext_after_partitioning"></a>
<h3>Recently I partitioned my harddisk. Now I can open the volume without a
password. Isn't it encrypted anymore?</h3>
<p>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.</p>
</div>
<div class="content faq">
<a name="user_access"></a>
<h3>How can I restrict access to certain data?</h3>
<p>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!</p>
<p>For the next major release (v0.4) we plan to implement user and access
management.</p>
</div>
<div class="content faq">
<a name="use_of_users"></a>
<h3>There is a <i>user manager</i> available via <i>preferences</i>.
What is it good for?</h3>
<p>These administrative users can access restricted parts of the CryptoBox
(e.g. the plugin manager or the network settings).</p>
<p>Users who just want to open and close volumes do not need an
administrative account.</p>
</div>
<div class="content faq">
<a name="use_repo"></a>
<h3>How do I use the server package from the Debian Repository?</h3>
<p>The CryptoBox server package is not in the official Debian
Repository, for now. But you can use our Repository for the installation.</p>
<p>First add the following to your <i>"/etc/apt/sources.list"</i>:
<br /><tt>deb http://systemausfall.org/toolforge/debian unstable
main</tt></p>
<p>Second run: <br /><tt>apt-get update && apt-get install
cryptobox-server</tt></p>
