Confidentiality of data stored on a computer is critical for a lot of company and organizations. It can be dramatic if confidential data (i.e : stored on laptop) are thieved and diffused.
GNU/Linux, and especially Ubuntu, must provide an easy way to ensure security and confidentiality of important data.
I (Kévin Dunglas) plan to develop mainly one application which allow to :
- encrypt the whole home directory
- encrypt swap
- create a 'safe deposit box' to store important private files
The GUI will be similar to Apple FileVault [1], wrote in Python and using GTK+ as toolkit (PyGTK / Glade). I will use cryptsetup [2] as backend which is already available in the Universe repository [3].
If I still have time after that I will code a tool doing a job similar to 'clear my tracks' in Mozilla Firefox. It will delete all temporaries files created by the system, and purpose to remove logs.
