* Package name : deadbolt Version : 0.1.0 Upstream Author : Aaron Lichtman <aaronlicht...@gmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/alichtman/deadbolt/ * License : MIT Programming Lang: JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Bash Description : deadbolt simplifies encrypting and decrypting files. All you need is a password. deadbolt is a simple GUI for file encryption and decryption. It works on all major OSes, and can be used without reading a tutorial. It uses AES-256-GCM by default. A 256-bit derived key for the cipher is created using 11,000 iterations of pbkdf2 with the SHA-512 HMAC digest algorithm, a 64-byte randomly generated salt, and a user generated password. The authenticity of the data is verified with the authentication tag provided by using GCM. These parameters were chosen by following the NIST Guidelines for pbkdf2. It is designed to help non-technical people easily and securely encrypt files, and be able to share them across platforms. I developed it myself (along with Jon Shobrook) and use it regularly. It does pretty much the same thing as Nautilus Encryption Utility. The rationale for including it as a package is that users on other OSes will encrypt files with it and want to share them with Debian-based Linux users. I'd appreciate being able to install this with a simple apt command. It is not a dependency for other packages. I plan on maintaining it myself. I will need a sponsor in order to publish this. I am not looking for any more co-maintainers, as Jon Shobrook <shobro...@gmail.com> will be a co-maintainer. This is my first contribution to Debian, so apologies if I've missed anything.
