-# Verifiably, Attributably Secure Archives
-For when you need to distribute information anonymously, but wish to keep it provably full and intact, but _also_ wish to have options to prove attribution.

-### Issues
-- two-way deanonymization is assumed when either method to attribute is used
-  - when sha512 method is used, originator is assumed to be the owner of the ed25519 key and vice versa
-  - any reveal of either signed note or sha512 attribution passphrase, the other is assumed to belong to the same entity
-  - opsec failures can result in two-way deanonymization

-1. x validate attribution thing
-2. clean up output
-3. x **fix password audit!**
-4. x sanity checks
-5. this README.md
-6. x the README-instructions.txt and placedment for archive
-7. x passphrase strength/length checks
-8. sha256 mode with independant passphrase(?)
-9. encrypt archive option
-   1. inner
-      1. goes first
-      2. gets passphrase
-      3. tests passphrase
-      4. generates txt file backup
-      5. then tests with passphrase
-   2. outer
-      1. goes second
-      2. gets passphrase
-      3. tests passphrase
-      4. generates txt file backup
-      5. then tests with passphrase
-10. x random data optional
-   1. x  `read -n 1 -s -r -p "In another terminal/window, fill $inner_dir with whatever you please then press any key to continue..."`
-   2.  x now only takes up 2Kb!
-   3.  x only use 128 bytes (1024 bits) x 2
-       1. x `openssl rand -out "$out_dir/.$RANDOM" 128`
-       2. x `openssl rand -out "$inner_dir/.$RANDOM" 128`
-       3. x  `find "$out_dir" -type f -name ".*" -exec chown $USER:$USER "{}" \;`
-       4. x `find "$out_dir" -type f -name ".*" -exec chmod 600 "{}" \;`
-11. writeup in this README
-12. usage in this README
-13. specification definition
-    1.  Specification.md
-14. FileMap.md
-15. x function: passphrase checkin
-    1.  x match
-    2.  x pass cracklib-check
-    3.  x =>35 chars long
-    4.  x pass call to haveibeenpwned.com api
-16. x exit trap with cleanup

-## Changelog
-- reduced random data to 2x 10Kb
-- reduced random data to 2x 1Kb
-- added password strength check with cracklib-check
-- cleaned up output
-- added housekeeping
-  - set perms and ownership on archives and keystore to minimum
-  - shred all erronious files and dirs
-- cleaned up code
-- better rng
-- better passphrase check
-  - checks for exact match
-  - minimum of 35 chars
-  - checks with cracklib-check
-  - checks online with haveibeenpwned.com
-- bug fixes
-- random data is now actually optional and is only 128 bytes (1024 bits) and are generated securely
-- better antiforensics by unsetting vars and cleaning up on exit
-- actually workan password checks
