Storing your data as an encrypted log

Each mailbox is represented as an encrypted, sequential log of events

Add or remove an email
Add or remove a flag (like seen/unseen)

Goals

Aerogramme log design enables the following properties:

  • Privacy friendly

    Encrypted at the user level

  • Compatible

    Compatibility with existing protocols is kept.

  • Easy to operate

    Running mutliple instance is easy, no possible mailbox conflicts

  • Highly resilient
    datacenter failures, sysadmin failures,

Keeping requirements low

We worked hard to keep requirements as low as possible:

  • CPU
    Any x86_64 CPU from the last 10 years, ARMv7 or ARMv8
  • RAM
    1 GB
  • Disk space
    At least 16 GB
  • Network
    200 ms or less, 50 Mbps or more
  • Heterogeneous hardware
    Build a cluster with whatever second-hand machines are available

It works with your email client

We built Garage to suit your existing infrastructure:

Garage implements the Amazon S3 API
and thus is already compatible with many applications.

Standing on the shoulders of giants

Garage leverages insights from recent research in distributed systems: (add: Bayou)
