     10 * Release 3.0
     11 
     12 *** [#A] support BtrFS and snapshots
     13 *** [#A] system to split passwords in parts (ssss)
     14 *** [#B] modular encryption system support
     15 
     16     to go beyond dm-crypt/cryptsetup
     17 
     18     ecryptfs, tc-play
     19 
     20     needs tomb marks appended at end of tombs
     21 
     22 *** [#B] udev rules to avoid usb automount of keyplug in gnome
     23 *** [#B] sign and verify tomb script integrity
     24 *** [#B] make a graphical tomb undertaker (gnome-druid in glade?)
     25 *** [#B] analyse and show tomb entropy using libdisorder
     26 *** [#B] use inotify on tomb
     27     inotify can also count when was the last time tomb was used and
     28     unmount it automatically after a timeout, see how much free space
     29     is left and warn when the space is almost finished
     30

     43 ** [#A] support for partition-based tombs
     44 ** DONE [#B] Internationalization using gettext
     45 
     46    Started generating the strings, still need to figure out how to
     47    install it
     48 
     49 ** DONE [#B] better tomb locksmith code for key management
     50 ** DONE [#B] backup keys on qrcodes
     51 ** DONE [#B] indeep security analysis of possible vulnerabilities
     52 ** [#C] more gtk dialogs for configurations? keep it minimal!
     53 
     54 
     55 
     56 
     57 * DONE Release 1.0            :100%:
     58 
     59 ** TODO [#C] make one single status handle more tombs
     60 ** TODO [#C] decorate creation wizard with ASCII art
     61 
     62 ** DONE [#B] remove gnome dependencies from tomb core		    :jaromil:
     63 
     64    gksu is deeply connected to gnome in all its packages.  actually
     65    libgksu2-dev is and that doesn't helps.
     66 
     67    gksu binary is a very simple and dirty code, we should have
     68    tomb-ask to use the libgksu library for privilege escalation, but
     69    then this would add the dependency into C linking...
     70 
     71    the solution is for now to detect if gksu is present, else fallback
     72    to sudo and provide it an interface to ask the password graphically
     73    via pinentry
     74 
     75 ** DONE [#B] SLAM tomb and kill all applications using it	   :anathema:
     76 
     77    using lsof and fuser(1) we can do that easily
     78 
     79    we should ask user confirmation when closing a tomb if to slam
     80 
     81    tomb-askpass will become tomb-ask managing such user interaction,
     82    using libassuan and pinentry from the gpg project.
     83 
     84 ** DONE [#B] fix operation without DISPLAY (over SSH)		   :hellekin:
     85 ** DONE [#A] steganography to store tomb key			    :jaromil:
     86 
     87    steghide can hide keys in JPG, BMP, WAV or AU files it also takes
     88    care of compressing end encrypting the key file so we don't
     89    necessarily need gpg... it has Serpent and AES256 (CBC)
     90 
     91 ** DONE [#A] use a posix thread instead of fork for status close    :jaromil:
     92 ** DONE [#A] use a config file to map bind mounts 		    :jaromil:
     93 
     94    done as file 'bind-hooks' inside tom. also 'post-hooks' is executed
     95    as user in case symlinks are needed and so
     96 
     97    using mount -o bind we can trigger actions to be made after mounting
     98    a tomb so that personal directories appear in the home folder.
     99 
    100 ** DONE [#A] desktop integration the freedesktop way		    :jaromil:
    101 ** DONE [#B] debian packaging with desktop integration 		    :jaromil:
    102 ** DONE [#A] Avoid overwriting key on exhume on same filename
    103 ** DONE [#A] Should refuse opening a tomb that is already open	    :jaromil:

    106 * TODO Porting to MS/Windows
    107 
    108   using FReeOTFE http://www.freeotfe.org
    109 
    110   or at least make it compatible with http://www.sdean12.org/SecureTrayUtil.htm
    111 
    112 * TODO Porting to Apple/OSX
    113 
    114   still to be investigated what's there that supports cryptsetup-luks volumes. hditool, tcplay...
