TODO and Roadmap for Tomb

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

Release 1.0 90%

[A] fix operation without DISPLAY (over SSH) hellekin

TODO [A] SLAM tomb and kill all applications using it

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.

[A] incremental backup system using bup jaromil

tombs are modifed only where needed so file changes are local to the file segment where data is stored. duplicity handles this using gpg for backup sets and rdiff for incremental storage. its more stable than bup at this moment.

TODO [B] remove gnome dependencies from tomb core

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

TODO [C] make one single status handle more tombs

TODO [C] decorate creation wizard with ASCII art

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

TODO Release 2.0 00%

100% backward compatible with tombs created with 1.0

[A] use inotify on tomb

inotify can also count when was the last time tomb was used and unmount it automatically after a timeout

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

[A] sign and verify tomb script integrity (executed as root)

[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] system to split keys in parts (ssss)

[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
