- Human friendly key derivation
- Server-assisted + persisted
- Attack resistant
- Use it in WASM or wherever
Why
So, you use paired-key cryptography on the internets, but you're getting fed up with silly humans writing their private keys on cocktail napkins? SAD!
What if I told you there were a way for YOUR server to help manage these keys, but in a not-totally-crappy way?
It slices, it dices:
- Securely derive private keys with no persistant storage on the user's station!
- The server helps, but cannot actually see the keys. If your server gets pwned, you still win!
- You get to change your keys and passwords independently!
But wait, there's more:
- Store multiple keys using that one password
- Store each key using multiple passwords
- You can implement secure key recovery techniques
KeyPlace is inspired by the Keybase key derivation algorithm https://book.keybase.io/docs/crypto
