RE: Build yourself a Trezor

in #trezor8 years ago (edited)

I am not aware of any practical solutions at this time.

Afaik, with LUKS, you can have multiple keyphrases. So you could have your regular password, as well as a password that is deterministically generated by the Trezor.

Unfortunately I am not familiar with implementation details, or available API's on the Trezor, but the existence of projects like TPM make it seem doable.

Perhaps @xeroc would know better, as he has done some work with integrating Steem and Trezor already.

Sort:  

I have some FUSE same code but it did not work nicely .. lol .. Edit utilities go crazy with temp files, renames, and even links. They really work hard to not overwrite your file until they know they can write to disk (understandable). But this complicates the fuse bindings, then have to work just right. I have gotten partly there with example code but that still needs work.

I just finished a command-line utility you might find useful.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/trez

  • Create cold-storage backups
  • Use trez files to copy data to and from cold storage (keeping the USB clean).
  • Keep encrypted partitions locked more often by extract commonly use data into Trez files.

It will work, I think it is just a matter of finding or making a script that does this.

The API allows for a confirmed or unconfirmed encrypt and decrypt of any data. Software could encrypt a strong but relatively small decryption key and ask you to decrypt it when unlocking a drive etc..

It would work nicely with the FUSE file system where private keys could go into different files that could be confirmed on the Trezor separately when you try to open them and re-encrypt when they are saved.
