+
+** Introduction
+
+Tomb aims to be an 100% free and open source system for easy
+encryption and backup of personal files, written in code that is easy
+to review and links commonly shared components.
+
+At present time Tomb is easy to install and use, it mainly consists of
+a Shell script and some auxiliary C code for desktop integration,
+making use of GNU tools and the cryptographic API of the Linux kernel.
+
+*** Who needs Tomb
+
+Our target community are desktop users with no time to click around,
+sometimes using old or borrowed computers, operating in places
+endangered by conflict where a leak of personal data can be a threat.
+
+If you don't own a laptop then it's possible to go around with a USB
+stick and borrow computers, still leaving no trace and keeping your
+data safe during transports. Tomb aims to facilitate all this and to
+be interoperable across popular GNU/Linux operating systems.
+
+*** 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]][4],
+Suse[5], Gentoo[6] and Fedora[7].
+
+Seen from this perspective, Tomb is intended as a rewrite of most
+functionalities offered by TrueCrypt in a new application, confident
+it won't take much relying on previous experience and aiming at:
+
+ - 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

+
+*** How does it works
+
+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.

+** Downloads
+
+For licensing information see the [[http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html][GNU General Public License]]
+
+Below a list of formats you can download this application: ready to be
+run with some of the interfaces developed, as a library you can use to
+build your own application and as source code you can study.
+
+*** Code repository
+
+Latest stable release is 0.9 (25 January 2011) more about it in the
+[[ftp://ftp.dyne.org/tomb/NEWS][NEWS]] and [[ftp://ftp.dyne.org/tomb/ChangeLog][ChangeLog]]
+
+Source releases are checked and signed by [[http://jaromil.dyne.org][Jaromil]] using [[http://www.gnupg.org][GnuPG]].
+
+On [[ftp://ftp.dyne.org/tomb][ftp.dyne.org/tomb]] you find all present and past Tomb releases,
+source code for extra plugins and more binaries that we occasionally
+build for various architectures.
+
+The bleeding edge version is developed on our [[http://code.dyne.org][code repository]] using
+**GIT**, you can clone the repository free and anonymously
+
+<example>
+ git clone git://code.dyne.org/tomb.git
+</example>
+
+
+** Development
+
+
+*** Stage of development
+
+Tomb is an evolution of the 'mknest' tool developed for the dyne:bolic
+GNU/Linux distribution, which is used by its 'nesting' mechanism to
+encrypt the Home directory of users.
+
+As such, it uses well tested and reviewed routines and its shell code
+is pretty readable. The name transition from 'mknest' to 'tomb' is
+marked by the adaptation of mknest to work on the Debian operating
+system, used by its author in the past 3 years.
+
+*** How can you help
+
+Code is pretty short and readable: start looking around it and the
+materials found in doc/ which are good pointers at security measures
+to be further implemented.
+
+Have a look in the TODO file to see what our plans are.
+
+At the moment we can use some good help in porting this tool on
+M$/Windows and Apple/OSX, still keeping the minimal approach we all
+love.
