+# 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.

+## Writeup
+### Purpose

+### Method
+todo
+### 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
