= Cryptography for Trac =

== 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.
