Secure Messaging is a Web-based, alternative mail system for sending and receiving messages.

Use secure messaging to send and receive messages from a alternative web-based mail system. Using the secure messaging system no actual mail is transmitted through any 3rd party servers.

Only an optional message notice is sent to the recepient, the user needs to visit the site in order to read the message.

Normal SMTP mail can hit multiple servers and can possibly be read, stored, or changed anywhere within the process.

Setup secure messaging on an SSL enabled website to enhance the privacy even more.

Secure Login provides a login extension similar to Operas Wand login.

It uses the built-in password manager, but deactivates the prefilling of login forms.
Instead, you are now able to login with one click or a keyboard shortcut (ALT+N).
Just add the Secure Login toolbar button to your toolbar, or use the provided statusbar icon.
If you hover over one of the icons, a tooltip is shown, displaying the login url and the number of available logins (users).
For more than one user or login forms on the current page a selection prompt is displayed on login.
You have the option to play sound notifications (*.wav) for found login data on the current page or when logging in.
All the options can be changed using the Secure Login settings menu or the statusbar icon context menu.

Secure Login provides you with a number of Security enhancements and helps protecting you from phishing:

Disabling the prefilling of login forms prevents malicious JavaScript code to automatically steal your login data.
This is due to the fact that no login data is inserted in form fields before the user clicks on the login button or logs in using the keyboard shortcut.
To make sure you login to the right website, the second level domain of the login url is compared to the second level domain of the current page.
If they do not match a dialog prompt is displayed before login.

SecureLogin provides you with an optional setting to protect you from all JavaScript code during login.
This can prevent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks without having to deactivate JavaScript completely.
If you enable this option, your login data will never be inserted in any form fields nor will the login form be submitted.
Instead your credentials will be sent to the login page using internal Firefox methods.
Not all login forms will work this way, e.g. not those using JavaScript routines.
Therefore, you can add such websites to an exception list.

Secure Data Manager project is a manager for passwords and other private data.
Secure Data Manager (SDM) is a full-featured password manager application written entirely in Java (so it can run on Unix or Windows). It encrypts logins and other private information for Web sites, computers, credit cards, etc.
Main features:
- Many great features and more coming each month based on user feedback!
- No limit to how you use the product or how often!
- Trusted since you and everyone else can see the code that protects your passwords -- keeping the application clear of any trojans or bad business practices.
- Open source -- so if you know how to write code, you can add any feature you want!
- Free.

Fast Secure File System exports existing directories securely over the network, letting users store and retrieve encrypted data in a scalable and transparent way. FSFS is written in C and works on GNU/Linux systems on x86 and PPC architectures, with help from FUSE and OpenSSL.
File systems are easily the most evident, from the point of view of users, component of an operating system. Through file systems it is possible to organize data in a wide variety of ways, and access resources through a common interface.
Users can nowadays not only store and retrieve documents, but also find information on running processes and system settings (through ProcFS), access and manipulate e-mail (for example with GmailFS), or perform several other operations.
In several circumstances and scenarios it is desirable to protect stored files and directories from manipulation by unknown or malicious users: financial or health-related data, confidential documents, or any kind of personal or sensitive data may need to be stored securely, in such a way that it can not be examined or modified freely by third parties.
Most file systems do not take action in this sense, and external cryptographic utilities are sometimes employed to secure data before storage. While this can be a perfectly secure solution, it is not transparent to users.
Distributed file systems propose efficient ways of accessing data remotely as if it resided on the local machine; when it comes to dealing with securely stored data as in the examples above, care must be taken to preserve confidentiality and integrity also during network transfer.
Not all distributed file systems accomplish this task, weakening the overall security of the system, or do so inefficiently, making it inconvenient for users.
FSFS is a secure, distributed file system in users space, written in C with much help from FUSE and OpenSSL. It lets users store and retrieve data securely and transparently, knowing that it is protected both on permanent storage devices and while in transit over the network.
It is also concerned with scalability, therefore separates data cryptography from the server, leaving it to the clients; this approach is similar to the one used in CFS, and opposite to those taken on by other secure file system solutions (like NFS on top of IPsec).
FSFS is written as a pair of user space daemons that act as client and server. Because of this, it needs no kernel support (unlike NFS over IPsec), save the FUSE loadable kernel module on clients, included in Linux since 2.6.14; servers dont use FUSE and depend only on user space OpenSSL libraries.
Servers export an existing file system (of virtually any kind) to clients over the network through two separate channels: a TLS connection set up with OpenSSL, and a clear channel. Requests from the clients to the servers are sent via the TLS socket, thus they are encrypted and authenticated, according to TLS v1 specifications, by the channel itself and decrypted on receipt, as they are usually very short and the relevant cryptography does not constitute a great overhead; simple server replies undergo the same process.
Cryptography in this case happens at both ends of the transmission.
In a distributed file system, large amounts of data may be transferred between clients and servers, thus encrypting and decrypting everything may become too cumbersome for both parties, and as more clients are added to the system the server may severely lose performance; moreover, file data should be stored encrypted anyway, so the cryptography could be moved to the clients, in such a way that each encrypts data before a write operation sends it over the network to the server, and decrypts it after a read retrieves it.
This way servers only deal with TLS details and can concentrate on serving client requests by doing the relevant I/O on the underlying, "physical" file system. As the data is already encrypted, it does not need to go through the TLS channel and the corresponding overhead, but can be sent via the clear channel, provided the messages are authenticated.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes two bugs. One bug related to socket creation and would cause problems on some systems (namely OpenSUSE 10.2). The other bug related to server configuration creation when using the Python configuration utilities. Users dont need to upgrade to this release if theyre not experiencing problems or are not using the Python configuration utilities.
