Naeon is a data protection software product as well as a Backup system for various Unix-like operating systems[4]. It is published under the GNU Affero General Public License V3.0 or later.
History[edit]
Naeon emerged in 2020 amid the first COVID-19 lockdowns out of frustration with the increasing number of businesses and individuals losing their data to ransomware and other forms of cybercrime. Naeon's underlying philosophy is to back up and then encrypt one's private data using the same hard (or even stronger) encryption techniques used by cybercriminals. The encrypted data is then stored in a way that is (and remains) only accessible to its owner, well out of reach of untrusted third parties. Its first stable release dates from February 2021.
Design[edit]
Naeon offers a method for securely distributing confidential data to untrusted environments[5][6], using unbreakable, client-side, military-grade AES256[7] encryption and zero-knowledge privacy for a truly secure cloud storage solution.
The encrypted data are protected by rendering them unusable, unreadable, and indecipherable to unauthorized individuals or processes, before being transferred to a public network.
A combination of obfuscation, sharding, and generalisation techniques[8] are used for this purpose. The encryption key, as well as the concatenation order of the sharded chunks of encrypted data, remain with the user, who should have a proper key management strategy in place.
Using Naeon as a backup tool helps minimize the risk of data loss due to ransomware- and other cyber attacks, as well as insider threats related to cyber security incidents.
Naeon works on all platforms that support Bash, more specifically Unix-like operating systems (such as Linux, BSD, and MacOS). It also works with Windows under Cygwin or the Windows Subsystem for Linux.
