Cryptonite

[cshMember]

Cryptonite is an EncFS implementation on Android. I’ve uploaded a repo directory for your review.

This is good.

Don’t build https://gitorious.org/f-droid/fdroiddata/commit/e6204bb9b9c7fe414e8740a58741fd597ae00bb4

There wiki on the project web page describes how to build it, but Im not sure if those native bits can be built. The truecrypt can be left out I think and the dropbox component may need a api key to work. The app functions fine without these and thats the best use for it, as protection against thieves who know how to boot into recovery and as an encryption for file synchronization. But then maybe the developer wouldnt be happy.

Code license: GNU GPL v2 [no idea about TrueCrypt — compile without if necessary]

Cryptonite brings EncFS and TrueCrypt to Android. You can browse, export and open EncFS-encrypted directories and files on your Dropbox and on your phone. On rooted phones that support FUSE (e.g. CyanogenMod) you can also mount EncFS and TrueCrypt volumes. TrueCrypt is only available as a command-line version at this time.

Cryptonite is available from Google Play. Report bugs to the issue tracker.

yes, this would be the ideal (i don’t use dropbox)…

I noticed they’ve got a link to this thread on their project page. Great to see that they want to get included! As i think it would be ideal to have one of the developers submitting the data we should have a document to point them to. It should explain how the build-server works and that unfree libraries have to be excluded. (Maybe more, I’m no dev)

An FAQ perhaps? The are many different reasons apps cant enter. In this case , having read the build instructions and not understood anything, the problem is technical. The first step requires the ndk be customized, which is only feasible with virtual machines and thats what we call the build server. This app is completely FOSS as far as I can tell. The dropbox integration is irrelevant: and in any case there is a step for disabling it.

[daithib8Member]

It builds with a standalone toolchain (there’s a script in the NDK for creating one) and there are a lot of scripts to download and build the extra bits and pieces. Doesn’t seem to be too complicated , unless there are hidden dependencies.

I’d love to see cryptonite included – does a comment count as a vote, or have I missed something?

I came here from this page on their website: cryptonite

Thanks,

Rich

Also would love to see it included, even (and preferably) without Truecrypt and Dropbox support. I think what interests most of us here is the EncFS support.

I would also like to express my support for this app. I haven’t used TrueCrypt yet but i have been thinking about it for some time now. Having the capability on the phone sounds very nice. Including a crippled/stripped down version of cryptonite in f-doid is not very useful in my opinion.

In contrast to Cryptonite readme, you cannot “vote” for it to be included. +1 gets you nowhere, merge requests and patches do. I, myself, would really love to see it in fdroid, but there is no space left on my todo list…

Why is it removed from the repository? :/
