NEWSCARD: Decentralized, Encrypted Paste Bin via Usenet Newsgroups Publish and fetch permanent named records via Network NewsNewscard creates a decentralized, encrypted, named record paste bin.[git repo] https://codeberg.org/OCTADE/newscard (use most recent version only)With a single command, name the card, snarf the file and encrypt it.With another command, push the encrypted file to the public network.With another short command, snarf a file from the network.Only users knowing the name [key] of the record will be able to decrypt it.If a strong passphrase is used to name the file, it will be very secure.This is useful for quickly snarfing, encrypting, and publishing a text file:$~: card enc [passphrase] [file]$~: card put [passphrase]It is useful for retrieving a text file with just a key:$~: card get [passphrase]$~: card show [passphrase]If and when you want the general public to access the record just share the keyword.Newscard uses nine (9) (NINE) layers of encryption with OpenSSL chacha20 cipher.Newscard generates 9 each of: cipher keys, salts, key iteration parameters.It would be nice if something like this were added to the ActivityPub protocol, such that keyword[@]host.url would do the same thing. Then secret text records could be stored securely for later retrieval or revelation.#NewsCard #Pastebin #Usenet #NNTP #NetworkNews #Encryption #Cryptography #Messaging #Anonymity #Protocols #OpenSource #FreeSoftware #BlackHackJack #Censorship #Retro #InfoSec #Ciphers #Codes #FOSS@infostorm@a.gup.pe @crypto@a.gup.pe @infosec@a.gup.pe @selfhosting@a.gup.pe
