Hello, my name is Ralf Senderek, I'm a secure solutions designer. Linux is my operating system since 1994. Over time I have developed and released security related analysis and open source software on my personal web site.
Recently, since Jan 2015, I am working on a secure message system called Crypto Bone which combines usability and security. I tried to make this system as usable as possible with an new approach to encryption key management, because I realized, that complex key management is the main reason for ordinary users not to use encryption. And I want to change that. On the other hand, I need to secure the encryption keys in a way that enables the ordinary user to take control himself. The result - the cryptobone - is now finished and I thought I should package this software for the Fedora repository. So I requested a review of the new cryptobone package: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1310092 And, of course, I'm seeking a sponsor for this package, because I'm a new contributor. During the development of the cryptobone software, I decided to reduce the cryptographic core to a bare minimum and to use Peter Gutmann's cryptlib as the only dependency for my own crypto code. I hope that including cryptlib in my own package will enrich the Fedora code base. And I hope to be able to make secure messaging a reality for many users who need it. Thank you for your interest and feedback. Ralf.
