A secure way to communicate your secrets

Project description

A secure way to communicate your secrets

  • Find the CLI (wip) here
  • Find the website here
  • Backend Deployed on Google Cloud App Engine

Working

  • When a user saves a secret it is encrypted on the client side using a pass phrase encryption algo.
  • A unique key (url in case of web clients) is generated for every stored secret.
  • A user can then share this key (or url) to someone else, who can then retrieve the secret using the correct pass phrase
  • The encrypted token is then fetched and decrypted using the pass phrase on the client and displayed to the user (only once)
