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

Roadmap notes:

* Release 3.0

*** [#A] integrate the zenroom for custom crypto functions
	https://decodeproject.github.io/lua-zenroom

*** [#A] study cryptsetup 2.0 and integrate it

	In particular kernel keystore functionalities

*** [#A] support BtrFS and snapshots
*** [#B] modular encryption system support

    to go beyond dm-crypt/cryptsetup

    ecryptfs, tc-play

    needs tomb marks appended at end of tombs

*** [#B] udev rules to avoid usb automount of keyplug in gnome
*** [#B] sign and verify tomb script integrity
*** [#B] analyse and show tomb entropy using libdisorder
*** [#B] 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

*** DONE [#A] system to split passwords in parts
	CLOSED: [2018-01-03 Wed 19:48]

	solved with secrets.dyne.org
*** DONE [#B] make a graphical tomb undertaker (gnome-druid in glade?)
	CLOSED: [2018-01-03 Wed 19:49]

	solved by gtomb and qtomb


** Notes from #CybRes


*** mlocall per swap )vecna) rompigli il caz su github
*** steganografia migliore con outguess? (vecna)
*** velocita' creazione : fallocate -l 10G (scuall8907@gm)


* DONE Release 2.0            :100%:

** [#A] support for ZFS filesystem (revisioning, bitrot)
** [#A] support for partition-based tombs
** DONE [#B] Internationalization using gettext

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

** DONE [#B] better tomb locksmith code for key management
** DONE [#B] backup keys on qrcodes
** DONE [#B] indeep security analysis of possible vulnerabilities
** [#C] more gtk dialogs for configurations? keep it minimal!




* 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 Porting to MS/Windows

  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. hditool, tcplay...
