TODO and Roadmap for Tomb

you are welcome to send patches to jaromil@dyne.org

Issue tracking is now handled via GitHub, see http://github.com/dyne/Tomb

Old roadmap notes:

* DONE Release 1.0							:100%:

** TODO [#C] make one single status handle more tombs
** TODO [#C] decorate creation wizard with ASCII art

** DONE [#B] remove gnome dependencies from tomb core		    :jaromil:

   gksu is deeply connected to gnome in all its packages.  actually
   libgksu2-dev is and that doesn't helps.

   gksu binary is a very simple and dirty code, we should have
   tomb-ask to use the libgksu library for privilege escalation, but
   then this would add the dependency into C linking...

   the solution is for now to detect if gksu is present, else fallback
   to sudo and provide it an interface to ask the password graphically
   via pinentry

** DONE [#B] SLAM tomb and kill all applications using it	   :anathema:

   using lsof and fuser(1) we can do that easily

   we should ask user confirmation when closing a tomb if to slam

   tomb-askpass will become tomb-ask managing such user interaction,
   using libassuan and pinentry from the gpg project.

** DONE [#B] fix operation without DISPLAY (over SSH)		   :hellekin:
** DONE [#A] steganography to store tomb key			    :jaromil:

   steghide can hide keys in JPG, BMP, WAV or AU files it also takes
   care of compressing end encrypting the key file so we don't
   necessarily need gpg... it has Serpent and AES256 (CBC)

** DONE [#A] use a posix thread instead of fork for status close    :jaromil:
** DONE [#A] use a config file to map bind mounts 		    :jaromil:

   done as file 'bind-hooks' inside tom. also 'post-hooks' is executed
   as user in case symlinks are needed and so

   using mount -o bind we can trigger actions to be made after mounting
   a tomb so that personal directories appear in the home folder.

** DONE [#A] desktop integration the freedesktop way		    :jaromil:
** DONE [#B] debian packaging with desktop integration 		    :jaromil:
** DONE [#A] Avoid overwriting key on exhume on same filename
** DONE [#A] Should refuse opening a tomb that is already open	    :jaromil:



* TODO Release 2.0							:00%:

Must be 100% backward compatible with tombs created with 1.0 

** New features

*** [#A] system to split keys in parts (ssss)
*** [#A] use inotify on tomb

    inotify can also count when was the last time tomb was used and
    unmount it automatically after a timeout, see how much free space
    is left and warn when the space is almost finished

*** [#A] udev rules to avoid usb automount of keyplug in gnome

*** [#A] sign and verify tomb script integrity (executed as root)
*** TODO [#B] Internationalization using gettext 		    :jaromil:

    Started generating the strings, still need to figure out how to
    install it

*** [#B] make a gnome tomb undertaker using gnome-druid in glade
*** [#B] tomb locksmith for key management
    a graphical tool or text wizard to move keys in/out steganography
    as well split them

*** [#B] transport keys and integrity checksums on qrcodes

*** [#B] analyse and show tomb entropy using libdisorder

*** [#B] indeep security analysis of possible vulnerabilities
*** [#C] more gtk dialogs for configurations? keep it minimal!


* TODO Porting to Win$loth

  using FReeOTFE http://www.freeotfe.org

  or at least make it compatible with http://www.sdean12.org/SecureTrayUtil.htm

* TODO Porting to Apple/OSX

  still to be investigated what's there that supports cryptsetup-luks volumes
