Telecomix Crypto Munitions Bureau is part of Telecomix. This wiki is used for discussing technology and philosophy. This wiki is also essentially the technical twin to the political WeRebuild.EU wiki. Both share the same fundamental goal: To defend and increase information freedom.

If you find anything here interesting and want to talk about it (we dont bother with e-mails) join us at irc.telecomix.orgOr just press this link.

Telecomix Crypto Munitions Bureau?

A decentralized organization without membership. The bureaus goals are described in this paper issued by Cameron. Beyond that, we also do whatever we want.

Mission: Helping to undermine one authority after the other…

Among the tasks given to TCMB by Cameron is to develop and spread knowledge about cryptography and security. So, here it is:

Cryptography

Cryptography for The Post-Quantum Computing Era

Books, papers and logs

Further Links

Meetings and seminars

TCMB official documents

Interesting papers/pads

Software watch list

Interesting software that is yet to be investigated.

  • CrypTool / JCrypTool: graphical cryptography teaching tool
  • AlpineLinux hardened and lightweight Linux distribution for setting up routers / gateways

Not sure what this is
