*** How does it works
+
+Tombs are operated from a normal file browser or from the commandline.
+
+To open a tomb is sufficient to click on it, or use the command **tomb-open**
+
+[[images/monmort.png]]
+
+When a tomb is open your panel will have a little icon in the tray
+reminding you that a tomb is open, offering to explore it or close it.
+
Tomb generates 'key files' and protects them with a password choosen
by the user; the key files are then used to encrypt loop-back mounted
partitions, like single files containing a filesystem inside: this way
keys can be separated from data for safer transports when
required.
+For more information on how to operate Tomb from the commandline, the
+backend tool **tomb** comes complete with a brief --help and a
+[[manual][manual page]].
