Secure Paper

Print a list of your passphrases on paper once at a time.

Each passphrase would be printed in a lower position relative to its previous passphrase on paper, so that the same paper can be used to add new passphrases.

Passphrases can also be printed in a ciphered format.

Prerequisites

Following packages are required in order to make this script work:

Arch Linux

pacman -S make cmake gcc g++ gpg evince texlive-most

Setup

First clone the source:

git clone https://github.com/briansalehi/secure-paper.git

Then configure the project:

cmake -S secure-paper -B secure-paper-build -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=release

Then build the project:

cmake --build secure-paper-build --parallel

And finally install it for your own:

cmake --install secure-paper-build --prefix $HOME/.local

Usage

secure-paper can be used in different ways, but the simplest form of its usage is to only call it.

Write to File

Run secure-paper executable to enter into an interactive environment and then type your new passphrases, either by long options or short:

secure-paper --position 4 --output output.txt
secure-paper -p 4 -o output.txt
secure-paper -p 4 output.txt

Interactively, you will be asked for different questions which cannot be passed to the program as arguments for security reasons:

Domain
Username
Passphrase

These questions are required in order to print your credentials on paper.

Results would be saved into the output, you can then print it later.

The output option can be omitted and its value can be independently given to program.

Write to Network (not implemented yet)

Aside from file, output can written directly into network.

This can useful when you have a printer on your network:

secure-paper --position 4 --storage-type network --output 192.168.1.23:515
secure-paper -p 4 -t network -o 192.168.1.23:515
secure-paper -p 4 -t network 192.168.1.23:515

The output option can be omitted and its value can be independently given to program.
