# Welcome to Tahoe

Welcome to the Tahoe project, a secure, decentralized, fault-tolerant filesystem. All of the source code is available under a Free Software, Open Source licence.

This filesystem is encrypted and spread over multiple peers in such a way that it remains available even when some of the peers are unavailable, malfunctioning, or malicious.

See the web site for information, news, and discussion:
