<h2>What does the CryptoBox do?</h2>
<h2>Why is something like CryptoNAS necessary?</h2>
<p>Usually all your files like phone numbers, love letters, bank
account data etc. are stored in plaintext on your computer's
account data etc. are stored unencrypted on your computer's
harddisk.
All the data is accessible for everyone who has access to the harddisk.
This is very bad in case someone you don't trust gets your harddisk.
E.g. a thief that steals your notebook, or breaks into your house or company.
If the thief has your disk he/she can also read all the files that
E.g. a thief that steals your notebook, or breaks into your house
or company.
If a thief has access to your disk he/she can also read all the files that
where saved on it, no matter whether you have a login password or not -
the files are always stored in plaintext.
the files are always stored unencrypted and so readable with the
right tools.
</p>
<p>The <b>CryptoBox</b> brings easy-to-use data encryption to your
computer. This works out of the box and does not need complicated
configuration steps.</p>
<h2>What's the difference with CryptoNAS?</h2>
<p>This software adds a layer between the data you save and the
actual format in how the data is stored on the harddisk. This way
you need a password to access the files. This is very easy to use
without complicated configuration steps. And it doesn't affect your usual workflow.
<p>Here comes a small usage example for the CryptoBox with an obsolete
PC as a fileserver:</p>
<h2>How does CryptoNAS actually work?</h2>
<p>NAS is an acronym for Network Attached Storage. This means you
have a fileserver in your local network, that stores all your
data. If you run the CryptoNAS software on this server everything
is encrypted and so unreadable for everyone but you.
<p>Boot up the old PC with the CryptoBox live-CD.
Now you can access it with your browser via the network.
<h2>Usage example</h2>
<p>Maybe you have an outdated PC laying around. Boot it up with the CryptoNAS live-CD.
Now you can access it from your workstation with a browser.
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.
This is all done through the user friendly webinterface (see
<a href="screenshots.html">screenshots</a>).
You can also plug in an external harddisk and use this to store
your encrypted data.
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 your data without the right passphrase.
network to the old PC which now works as CryptoNAS.
All file are now stored on its harddisk in a secure way with stron
encryption. Nobody can access your data without the right passphrase.
