About The Project

IOTA Stronghold is a secure software implementation with the sole purpose of isolating digital secrets from exposure to hackers and accidental leaks. It uses encrypted snapshots that can be easily backed up and securely shared between devices. It is written in stable rust and has strong guarantees of memory safety and process integrity.

Usage

An easy way to get acquainted with Stronghold is by checking out the examples section. Examples can be run from the command line interface. Stronghold comes with a simple CLI example, that showcases all features in brief. To run the example change into the client directory, and run

cargo run --example cli

This should print the help of the example with all commands and options.
