A Password Safe V3 compatible Password Vault written in Python.
It features a WX python and commandline interface

Maintainer

Computes the MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, Tiger, or Whirlpool message digest for any
number of files while optionally recursively digging through the directory
structure. Can also match input files against lists of known hashes in a
variety of formats.

nmdb is a network database (dbm-style) for controlled networks that can use
different protocols to to communicate with its clients. It supports TIPC, TCP,
UDP and SCTP.

It consists of an in-memory cache that saves (key, value) pairs, and a
persistent backend that stores the pairs on disk.

Both work combined, but the use of the backend is optional, so you can use the
server only for cache queries, pretty much like memcached.

A library is provided to interact with the database and the cache in a very
simple way. Python, D, NewLISP, Ruby, Bigloo Scheme, and Haskell bindings are
also available and come with the distribution (although except for the Python
bindings, the rest are not widely tested).

This is the PRNGD "Pseudo Random Number Generator Daemon". It offers an EGD
compatible interface to obtain random data and is intented to be used as an
entropy source to feed other software, especially software based on OpenSSL.

Like EGD it calls system programs to collect entropy.

Unlike EGD it does not generate a pool of random bits that can be called from
other software. Rather more it feeds the bits gathered into the OpenSSL PRNG
from which the "random bits" are obtained when requested. This way, PRNGD is
never drained and can never block (unlike EGD), so it is also suitable to seed
inetd-started programs. It also features a seed-save file, so that it is
immediately usable after system start.

runit is a cross-platform Unix init scheme with service supervision; a
replacement for sysvinit and other init schemes. It runs on GNU/Linux, *BSD,
Mac OS X, and Solaris, and can easily be adapted to other Unix operating
systems. runit implements a simple three-stage concept. Stage 1 performs the
system's one-time initialization tasks. Stage 2 starts the system's uptime
services (via the runsvdir program). Stage 3 handles the tasks necessary to
shutdown and halt or reboot.

The seccure toolset implements a selection of asymmetric algorithms based on
elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). In particular it offers public key
encryption / decryption, signature generation / verification and key
establishment.

ECC schemes offer a much better key size to security ratio than classical
systems (RSA, DSA). Keys are short enough to make direct specification of keys
on the command line possible (sometimes this is more convenient than the
management of PGP-like key rings). seccure builds on this feature and therefore
is the tool of choice whenever lightweight asymmetric cryptography --
independent of key servers, revocation certificates, the Web of Trust or even
configuration files -- is required.

since is a tail(1) work-alike that remembers how much of a file you have viewed
and displays only what's new when you next view that file. Ideal for viewing
log files (it'll only show what's new in the file since the last time it was
run).

Maintainer

socklog, in cooperation with the runit package, is a small and secure
replacement for syslogd. There are three main features syslogd provides:
receiving syslog messages from an unix domain socket ("/dev/log") and writing
them to various files on disk depending on facility and priority. receiving
syslog messages from an udp socket ("0.0.0.0:514") and writing them to various
files on disk depending on facility and priority. writing received syslog
messages to an udp socket ("a.b.c.d:514")

socklog provides these features with the help of runit's runsvdir, runsv, and
svlogd, provides a different network logging concept, and additionally does log
event notification.

svlogd has a built in log file rotation based on file size, so there is no need
for any cron jobs or similar to rotate the logs. Log partitions can be
calculated properly.

What is "Secret Sharing"?
Citing from the Wikipedia article about Secret Sharing:

In cryptography, a secret sharing scheme is a method for distributing a secret amongst a group of participants, each of which is allocated a share of the secret. The secret can only be reconstructed when the shares are combined together; individual shares are of no use on their own.

More formally, in a secret sharing scheme there is one dealer and n players. The dealer gives a secret to the players, but only when specific conditions are fulfilled. The dealer accomplishes this by giving each player a share in such a way that any group of t (for threshold) or more players can together reconstruct the secret but no group of less than t players can. Such a system is called a (t,n)-threshold scheme.

A popular technique to implement threshold schemes uses polynomial interpolation ("Lagrange interpolation"). This method was invented by Adi Shamir in 1979. You can play around with a threshold scheme on the demo page.

Note that Shamir's scheme is provable secure, that means: in a (t,n) scheme one can prove that it makes no difference whether an attacker has t-1 valid shares at his disposal or none at all; as long as he has less than t shares, there is no better option than guessing to find out the secret.

TinyCDB is a very fast and simple package for creating and reading constant
data bases, a data structure introduced by Dan J. Bernstein in his cdb package.
It may be used to speed up searches in a sequence of (key,value) pairs with
very big number of records. Example usage is indexing a big list of users -
where a search will require linear reading of a large /etc/passwd file, and for
many other tasks. It's usage/API is similar to ones found in BerkeleyDB, gdbm
and traditional *nix dbm/ndbm libraries, and is compatible in great extent to
cdb-0.75 package by Dan Bernstein.

CDB is a constant database, that is, it cannot be updated at a runtime, only
rebuilt. Rebuilding is atomic operation and is very fast - much faster than of
many other similar packages. Once created, CDB may be queried, and a query
takes very little time to complete.

UCARP allows a couple of hosts to share common virtual IP addresses in order to
provide automatic failover. It is a portable userland implementation of the
secure and patent-free Common Address Redundancy Protocol (CARP, OpenBSD’s
alternative to the patents-bloated VRRP).

Strong points of the CARP protocol are: very low overhead, cryptographically
signed messages, interoperability between different operating systems and no
need for any dedicated extra network link between redundant hosts.
