Get Cryptography Average Joe Ready

Posted on 2009-11-16 11:15 UTC by Rüdiger Schiller. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Utilities, User Experience, System.

There is no GnuPG GPG PGP environment, no dm-crypt, no blowfish-button in file-context-menus and no GU interfaces ready to use for Joe Average!

There was already the question of securing private data.

 

What is the best way to get email/IM/file/addressbook de/encryption/signing to Joe and his friends.

Should it be part of all programs containing private data? Should there be a Privacy Manager Tool to manage keys keyrings, encrypted files, addressbooks and calendar entries?

 

Encrypting the whole filesystem is neither a solution for the private data nor for email. It slows down the system and drains the battery. On my Netbook its costs are about 1-2Watts, speed I dont realy recognize.

Improve Backup Application: Add custom folders/files

Posted on 2010-08-07 15:24 UTC by Christos Saturn. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Utilities, System.

The built in Backup Application in the N900 backups only folder and files registered in the configuration of the osso-backup.

One great improvement would be the addition of options to backup files or folders defined by the user.
