Project Manjusaka

This project trys to generate a single webpage, which carries your most important words after death.

Using cryptography, one can load his/her post-mortem message(testaments) in a secured way that can be decrypted only with given keys and correct answers to a series of questions.

The generated single web page can then be put to e.g. somewhere on a personal website. The keys for reading such messages can be loaded into pre-written emails, which will be sent after online inactivity of the author exceeds.

Requirements

To run this program, you need to:

• Use a Linux distribution.
• Following commands should be available in shell:
  • python, gpg, make
  • git
  • browserify and uglify (This could be removed in the future).

And for best performance, you should use a computer as modern as possible, since we, out of security reasons, used some large parameters for algorithms, which could make the entire process very slow on old computers.

Usage

0. git clone https://github.com/neoatlantis/manjusaka
1. cd into the sample-messages/ and read the examples.
2. cd .. and create a messages/ directory on the same level as of sample-message, i.e. on the root directory of this project.
3. define your own ACL rules(see sample-messages/_acl.yaml) in messages/ dir, and write your other testaments in the same dir with .yaml suffix.
4. use make test to make fastly but a large composed webpage(build/page.html). Or use make directly to make a compressed one(build/page.min.html).
5. remember write down the passwords the program have given to you after make. Put them in emails that should be scheduled for sending after death.
6. you can now load the webpage and test that with passwords and Q&As.
7. if everything is fine, publish the page wherever you want, maybe the blog?

Planned

• GPG signature for each testament.
• Multi-language support.
