(author of Tahoe here, although I'm not much involved these days) > Tahoe-LAFS makes some impressive claims like maintaining confidentiality while running on untrusted machines. I think a lot of folks now would assert that really any machine running x86 due to Intel ME and the AMD equivalent should in fact be untrusted. To be precise, our claim is that you can use untrusted servers, since the client encrypts the data before it leaves your machine. You are, of course, entirely reliant on your own client being trustworthy. Nothing can save you if your client is compromised, whether via ME, a BIOS infection, an OS rootkit, or a boring old userspace compromise. The Tahoe-LAFS client runs pretty well on ARM and Raspberry PIs, in case that feels better. |
