<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 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
|
|
where saved on it, no matter whether you have a login password or not -
|
|
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 does not need complicated
|
|
configuration steps.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Here comes a small usage example for the CryptoBox with an obsolete
|
|
PC as a fileserver:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Boot up the old PC with the CryptoBox live-CD.
|
|
Now you can access it with your browser via the 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 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.
|
