Trousseau, a portable encrypted keyring
What
Trousseau is a gpg encrypted key-value store designed to be a simple, safe and trustworthy place for your data. It stores data in a single multi-recipients encrypted file and can supports both local and remote storage sources (S3 and ssh so far) import/export.
Create a trousseau store, specify which gpg recipients are allowed to open and modify it, add some key-value pairs to it, export it to S3 for example, and re-import it on another device. As simple as that.
Whether you're a devops, a paranoid guy living in a bunker, or the random user who seeks a simple way to store it's critical data in secured manner. Trousseau can do something for you.
Why
Storing, transporting, and sharing sensitive data can be hard, and much more difficult when it comes to automate it.
Trousseau was created with private keys transportation and sharing across a servers cluster in mind. However it has proved being useful to anyone who need to store and eventually share a passwords store, bank accounts details or even more sensitive data.
Real world use cases
For the devops out there
Trousseau can be useful to you when it comes to:
Store sensitive data: Your brand new shiny infrastructure surely relies on many certificates and private keys of different kinds: ssl, rsa, gpg, ... Trousseau provides a simple and fine-tuned way to store their content in a single file that you can safely version using your favorite cvs. No more plain certificates and keys in your repositories and configuration files.
Share passwords, keys and other critical data with co-workers and servers in your cluster in a safe manner. Trousseau encrypts its content for the specific recipient you provide it. Only the recipient you intend will be able to import and read-write the Trousseau store content. Trousseau proved itself to be a great way to share some services passwords with your co-workers too!
Deploy keys to your servers in a safe and normative way. Encrypt the trousseau store for each server selectively.
For the common users
Store your sensitive data like passwords, bank account details, sex tapes involving you and your teachers or whatever comes to your mind in an encrypted store.
Sync your sensitive data store to remote services and easily share it between your unix-like devices.
It's open-source
