crypt

This is supposed to manage daily secrets 'better'.

latest release with binaries for v0.2.0

primarly created it because to manage secrets I don't trust a 3rd Party util

if you don't as well, read the small-ish single file code here and build yourself

Does

for every task, your passphrase to be used is asked and never cached

• Generates a new secret.

• Create secrets to a locally managed file. It asks for topic, key and value.

• Read a previously made safe secret. It asks for topic.

• List all topics of previously saved secrets.

What are these constructs

• topic (has to be unique, otherwise overwrites) is any identity you want to file your secret detail under. Could be anything like name of site whose password you wanna save or bank name for which you wanna save account details.

• key is kind of secret this is. Could be 'password' if saving credentials for any website or account-number if a bank detail.

• value is the real secret to be kept safe.

Todo

• Update and Delete locally managed secrets.

• Create, read, update, delete and list secrets on popular online storages.
