Tomb is a simple tool to manage **encrypted storage** on GNU/Linux, from
the hashes of the [[http://dynebolic.org][dyne:bolic]] nesting mechanism.

*** Aren't there enough encryption tools already?
We've felt the urgency of publishing Tomb for other operating systems
than dyne:bolic since the current situation with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueCrypt][TrueCrypt]] is far from
optimal. TrueCrypt makes use of statically linked libraries, its code
is not hosted on CVS and is [[http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/distributions/2008-October/000276.html][not considered free]] by GNU/Linux
distributions because of liability reasons, see [[http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=364034][Debian]], [[https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/109701][Ubuntu]],
[[http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2008-10/msg00055.html][Suse]], [[http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=241650][Gentoo]] and [[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ForbiddenItems#TrueCrypt][Fedora]].
than dyne:bolic since the current situation in personal desktop
encryption is far from optimal.
Seen from this perspective, Tomb is intended as a rewrite of most
functionality offered by TrueCrypt in a new application, confident it
won't take much relying on previous experience and aiming at:
[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueCrypt][TrueCrypt]] makes use of statically linked libraries so that its code is
hard to audit, plus is [[http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/distributions/2008-October/000276.html][not considered free]] by free operating system

[[http://tom.noflag.org.uk/cryptkeeper.html][Cryptkeeper]] is the best alternative to Tomb out there and its main
advantage consists in not needing root access on the machine it's
being used. But Cryptkeeper still has drawbacks: it uses [[http://www.arg0.net/encfs][EncFS]] which
implements weaker encryption than dm-crypt, its encrypted archives
aren't transportable and it doesn't promotes the separated storage of
keys.
At last, the [[https://we.riseup.net/debian/automatically-mount-encrypted-home][Encrypted home]] on operating systems as Debian and Ubuntu
adopts dm-crypt and encryption algorithms as strong as Tomb does, but
it needs to be configured when one installs the system and it cannot
be easily transported, plus again it doesn't promotes separated
storage of keys.
With Tomb we try to overcome all these limitations providing strong
encryption, encouraging users to separate keys from data and letting
them transport tombs around easily. To facilitate auditing and usage
we intend to:
- short and readable code, linking shared libs and common components
- easy graphical interface, simple for ad-hoc (DIY-deniable)
- transparent and distributed development hosted using GIT
- GNU General Public License v3
- write short and readable code, linking shared libs
- provide easy to use graphical interfaces and desktop integration
- keep the development process open and distributed using GIT
- distribute Tomb under the GNU General Public License v3
