Description: securely back up secret keys to cloud servers
- Keysafe backs up a secret key to several cloud servers, split up
- so that no one server can access the whole secret by itself.
+ Keysafe is a program to back up your secret encryption keys, such as
+ OpenPGP/GPG private keys, to cloud servers. Keys are split up into
+ several shards, only one of which is sent to each cloud server. This
+ way, it is impossible for any one server to access the whole secret
+ key by itself.
.
- A password is used to encrypt the data, and it is made expensive
- to decrypt, so password cracking is infeasibly expensive.
+ A password is used to encrypt the shards. Keysafe's design ensures
+ that it is infeasibly expensive to crack the password.
