ss4 - secure file storage and backup

Store your files in the cloud, encrypted.

What's up with that name?

There are two hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things and off-by-one errors. So, since I, like the next guy, suck at naming stuff and this is the fourth complete rewrite of the project... this is storage solution 4. Obviously.

Contributions

The initial idea was born a long time ago in 2013, but the first prototype was implemented in cooperation with Wolfgang Reiter during a university course on secure systems in 2017. Several rewrites of the entire codebase later, I am finally happy to release this into the world.
