Sharding Passwords to Share before Death

Death approaches

Software Problems Require Software Solutions

• ssss will shard anything up to 1024 bits.
• encfs or similar required for a folder.

fortune | ssss-split -t 3 -n 5 > shards.txt
head -n 3 shards.txt | ssss-combine -t 3

Interface

• Electron?
• 3 actions:
  • 'How many people do you trust?'
  • 'How much do you trust them?'
  • Lock / Unlock icon

Requirements

• <25MiB for email
  • So no electron.

The Social Sphere

• Suggested receivers
• Email templates may help?

The Antisocial Sphere

• Flesh protocols are tricky.

Email Templates

Be casual!

Hi Alice,

Can you take this to my funeral, but not now - just put it somewhere. It's just for this thing, anyway... K thx bye! xx bob

Be Formal

Dearest Bob,

Please find contained herein, one of my 'Death Shards'. It is of utmost importance that you maintain the consistency and secrecy of this file. This shard of death shall - within the fullness of time - alleviate the potential necessity of interacting with every part - financial, social, and unwholesome - which I have, heretofore, interacted with, insofar as the [now] modern electronic landscape has been concerned.

Yours, ...for now. Alice.

Other Methods

Is this all wrong? Perhaps it should be a standard function within 1pass.

MFA is a Nightmare

• The project should probably include a request for a phone password.
• Will this update?
• Nudes?
