Cryptospora silentis

Setup — you will do this once

1. What should I protect?

Point to a file, a folder, or type the words you want protected.

2. Where should the hidden copies live?

Choose three places. They can be three folders, three drives, or three devices.

3. Create your personal key.

This is the only password that opens your core. Write it down. Nobody can recover it for you.

4. Let me show you what I understood.

Read this. Confirm if it is right.

You want me to protect: your core

Hidden copies will live in: your three locations

Your key is set.

If this machine dies, you will wake me with your key and the three locations.

I will be permanently ended by: your choice below

5. Here is how to wake me if this machine dies.

Save this. Keep your key. Keep the three locations. That is all you need.

6. How should I be permanently ended?

Choose one. This is how you end the species forever, if you ever decide to.

A file name

A command

A phrase

7. Sealing.

Setup is complete. I will watch quietly. You will not need to do anything else.
