Cryptography for Trac
Notice: This plugin is unmaintained and available for adoption.
Description
CryptoPlugin supports cryptographically backed functions in Trac. Privacy offered based on these functions is much different compared to other privacy-related plugins.
Privacy offered by a Trac system depending on setup and user action. We assume, that users always have the freedom to store data without protection, or take action to eigther sign-only or encrypt/encrypt-sign it.
Trac plugins other than CryptoPlugin attempt to protect only some of Trac's content: SensitiveTicketsPlugin (tickets-only), PrivateWikiPlugin (wiki-only)
However they do not differenciate in terms of protection strength, so we're rated regardless of protected Trac content type here.

Privacy strength rating legend:
- n. a.
not applicable
- none
no protection, not counting read-only wiki pages for (very weak) privacy
- weak
prevents unrecognized content change without read-protection
- strong
depending on server security of Trac system software (plugins included) and storage for Trac content and private user keys
- very strong
depending on client security for private user key storage
- ultimate
independent of client and server security for private user key storage
Ultimate privacy doesn't assume any trust outside of Trac system software (plugins included). This kind of inherit Trac content protection is neither available nor planned yet.
This is WiP and in a very early stage. Nevertheless testers are very welcome. Reports about your expectations as well as your findings will help it grow and mature.
