horcrux
A CLI tool that splits files into encrypted fragments using Shamir's Secret Sharing, requiring only a threshold of fragments to reconstruct the original.
What is horcrux?
Horcrux is a command-line tool that encrypts and splits files into multiple fragments using Shamir's Secret Sharing. It allows users to distribute these fragments across different locations and reconstruct the original file by gathering only a specified threshold of fragments, eliminating the need to remember a passcode.
Individuals who need to securely encrypt sensitive files like diaries or documents and want to avoid password memorization, as well as those transmitting files across multiple channels to reduce interception risk.
Horcrux offers a unique approach to file encryption by removing the dependency on passwords through threshold-based fragment reconstruction, providing both security and redundancy without complexity.
Overview
Split your file into encrypted fragments so that you don't need to remember a passcode
Use Cases
Best For
