Self introduction: Ralf Senderek
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.
