CryptoBox

Thank you!

The CryptoBox project heavily depends on the following Free Software projects. Thanks for your hard work!

This list is by far incomplete - so: thanks to everyone involved in improving Free Software!

You need more details?

Take a look at the README file for more detailed installation and usage instructions.

Requirements

The CryptoBox-Server package can be installed on every system with at least:

Linux kernel 2.6
cryptsetup with LUKS support
kernel support for the crypt target of the device mapper
Python 2.4

The CryptoBox-CD can run on any PC with:

CPU: min. 100MHz
RAM: 64 MB
CD-ROM drive
a network connection
a harddisk for your data

All drives supported by the linux kernel can be used: IDE, SCSI, USB, FireWire, SATA, ...

Encryption

The encrypted disk partitions are LUKS volumes. In case of emergency you can access your data directly with every modern linux system or via FreeOTF (for windows).

Select your favourite encryption algorithm from all ciphers supported by the linux kernel. Currently the default is aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 (AES in CBC mode with ESSIV based on SHA256).

File access

The CryptoBox-Server will smoothly integrate into your existing fileserver.

The CryptoBox-CD provides access to your data via:

samba shares (also known as: windows network share)
WebDAV (aka: web folder)
nfs (*nix file sharing)

Currently there is no user and access management integrated into the CryptoBox-CD.
