🔐 SafeBox

GoDoc MIT licensed

An unified key management system to make life easier.

The main goal of safebox is to make key backup easier with single main key to derive the reset. You only need to backup ONE file about 256KB to your removable disk, such as floppy disk/thumb drive/mo disk(magneto optical)/dvd-ram, etc...

Features

  1. Unlimited keys can be derived with a single main key, but we still suggest one master key for 16384 derived keys.
  2. Multi-source entropy, entropy comes from key strokes, system entropy(/dev/urandom), startup time, process pid, etc...
  3. Plugable exporters to adapt to different scenario, such as, blockchain, secure shell.

Safebox Can Derive Keys For:

  1. SSH
  2. Ethereum
  3. Bitcoin
  4. Atom
  5. Band
  6. Persistence
  7. Kava
  8. Akash
  9. Filecoin
  10. NEM
  11. Tron

and more plugable export plugin keeping coming...

Recommendations

  1. Install on Openbsd
  2. Backup your master key file on Removable & Reliable storages, such as DVD-RAM, MO.

Common Storage Lifetime Table:

Storage LifeTime Cold storage
Magneto Optical Disk estimated 50 years Yes
DVD-RAM estimated 30 years Yes
Floppy disk 10-20 years Yes
Flash(SD Card/USB Thumb/SSD) 5-10 years or more (depends on write cycles) Yes
Hard Disk 3-5 years No
Recordable CD/DVD 2-5 years Yes

TUI

Safebox is designed with a retro-style text-based user interface(tui), so a box such as Raspberry Pi will be able to act as key mangement box for offline storage. And keys can be obtain via text-based QR-Code.
