Tomb is a simple tool to manage **encrypted storage** on GNU/Linux, from

*** 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

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

- 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
|
||||
[[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:
|
||||
|
||||
- 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
