Ngl, I was working on a "Save this page offline" feature, the idea was similar to what you said, it's more like a snapshot in time, you can export your whole vault encrypted with the SSS and an offline ready page to come to and unlock the vault.
In my idea, the doomsday trigger handling might be difficult if it was a truly offline page, so I've not yet thought it fully on how it can be executed well, I'll revisit that idea again with fresh eyes.
And thanks for the reach out, would love to chat more on email!
Honestly those are 100% fair questions, for (1), I have a security page: https://eternalvault.app/security/ but mainly because of marketing purposes, most people I have as customers are in their 30-40s and not fairly technical, so when they ask me, I have to be mindful to not bombard them with too much technical info, but it's a good idea to still have a whitepaper with more detailed info for someone who actually wants to confirm on the privacy aspects.
Regarding (2), that is the most common question I get and honestly I don't know if I have the best answer for it, but here's what I have, I have two vaults for myself (of course I use Eternal Vault myself), one for family and one for business, in the business vault I have few documents including one called "Business continuity plan" which lays down all of my raw thoughts around how eternal vault is built, core technical things, infrastructure, dooms day trigger etc, and other business specific documents, right now since I don't have any heir, I have added few close people to it who are also fairly technical to keep it running, but eventually my idea is to expand on it in such a way that if I'm removed from the equation, the product can still sustain itself both business and ops wise, but I can totally understand why someone would trust a stranger on the internet, so I'm actually not sure how can I make the answer for 2nd much better, what do you recommend?
Indeed, that's precisely why I decided to ditch out of the subscription model and went into one time payment method, did the math and it made sense that I don't need a very heavy system apart from supporting the dead man switch trigger
And it feels good to know that there are people out thinking about this, makes me happy truly and if you want to try out the platform, welcome aboard, happy to walk through it if needed. :)
It's an incredible technique, when I came across it, it just changed the way I thought of solving giving out keys without "truly" giving them out.
This gave me confidence for eternalvault.app, a project of mine.
I'm building CatchIntent (https://CatchIntent.com).
The goal is to help turning social conversations into qualified warm leads.
Started with it because I was struggling with finding relevant conversations about my first app where people are exactly asking for what I'm selling, only that I was missing those conversations and people.
Build a POC, tested for myself and started getting good leads, so I converted it into my second app.
- Files are end to end encrypted with a master key generated by you on your device during onboarding
- How do your family access the documents when only you have the key and it's E2EE? The idea is the key is splitted via Shamir Secret Sharing when you add a trusted contact, once the doomsday is triggered and they recieve the notification, only then they can use their "shares" to reconstruct the master key and open your vault and access the documents
When someone dies, you don't get even one extra second to access the documents and information they meant to share it with you.
Trying to fix this problem with Eternal Vault.
Hi Luke, thanks for the feedback. Will be working on improving the marketing site to share the story in better way, any other feedbacks are also appreciated.
Lastly, would love for you to give the platform a try at https://dash.eternalvault.app/register
So we do provide a free forever plan, with free plan there are usage limits plus some advance features are not there, but all the core security features are fully available on all plans (I strongly feel security is not a good to have but a must have feature)
With that being said, with the paid plans unlock higher limits, advance features (all mentioned on the pricing page).
Let me know if you have any specific questions, also feel free to DM me on my socials or via emails (all available on the contact page).
Wow, it's fun reading the innovative ways people are solving for this, thanks for sharing your approach.
If you don't mind me asking, can you share some more details about this CLI utility? Does it use some existing solutions like GPG or something similar for the tasks you mentioned?
Just thinking out loud, doesn't keeping it offline increases the risk of first of all things getting lost or worse gets accessed by someone you don't intend to pass it on to?
That's fair, and it's actually pretty nice that you have thought out about this in such details.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom with me, appreciate it :)
I don't know how easy is it from where you are from, but a friend of mine lost his dad during covid second wave, and it took him months to get just get access to his dad's bank accounts.
Seems very scary, there might be so many things that he doesn't even know about. I tried searching for this, and it seems like there are billions of dollars left in dormant accounts because no one claimed it, majorly because the person's family don't even know how to access those or worse are not even aware about it.
