Split Secret (sisec) 🔐
Split Secret is a versatile command-line tool for securely splitting a master secret among multiple users. Only when a defined quorum of users combines their secret shares can the original secret be decrypted. The tool also supports robust encryption, decryption, and cleanup operations to ensure sensitive data is managed securely throughout the process.
🛠 Features
- Secret Splitting: Divide a master secret into shares distributed among users.
- Encryption & Decryption: Securely encrypt and decrypt data files using strong cryptographic methods.
- User Management: Add and manage user information along with their secret shares.
- Cleanup Operations: Remove decrypted files after processing to maintain security.
- Interactive Modes: Operate in active, preview, or interactive modes to match your workflow.
- Parallel Processing: Efficiently handles file operations using process pooling.
📥 Installation
Install Split Secret via Kevin's Package Manager under the alias sisec:
package-manager install sisec
This command installs Split Secret globally, making it available as sisec in your terminal. 🚀
🚀 Usage
Split Secret offers several modes for managing your secrets. Here are a few example commands:
Cleanup Data
To delete all unnecessary decrypted and encrypted files:
sisec --mode cleanup
Encrypt Data & Generate Meta Data
Encrypt the master secret file and generate encrypted metadata with additional user information:
sisec --secret-holders-amount 3 --quota 50 --mode encrypt --add-user-information --master-password "your_master_password" --meta --add-user-information << EOL
