In a world of universal surveillance, ordinary users want

The Crypto Bone is just this:
Reliable encryption, made usable and secure.

A Personal Update on the Current State of the Crypto Bone Software 2.0

I have invented and implemented the Crypto Bone software more than ten years ago. Today, the current version of the Crypto Bone software is 2.0, released in May 2025.

With the use of the Beagle Bone as the external device the Crypto Bone got its name. In the last few years the development focused more on ordinary Linux computers as an external device. And consequently the Crypto Bone software became usable even without any external devices (ALL-IN-ONE mode). I suspect, today most users will choose the ALL-IN-ONE option, although the external device option is still on board. But today there are many options for an external device.

In 2016 the CryptoBone became available in FEDORA as a standard package and is updated regularly until today.

The SAFEWEBDROP message exchange mechanism (SafeWebdrop), that is used in version 2.0 exclusively, is now two years old. It relies on minimal invasive code on a HTTPS-enabled server and is set up with minimal effort and time.

In the meantime someone I don't know has taken the name "CRYPTO BONE" to market a cryptocurrency thing of his own. Needless to say, that neither I nor the Crypto Bone project has anything to do with this, let's say, "activities".
