# keyfork-shard
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Linked to: keyfork-user-guide/src/bin/keyfork/shard/index.md -->
|
||||
|
||||
The `keyfork-shard` crate contains some binaries to enable M-of-N sharing of
|
||||
data. All binaries use Shamir's Secret Sharing through the [`sharks`] crate.
|
||||
|
||||
## OpenPGP
|
||||
|
||||
Keyfork provides OpenPGP compatible [`split`][openpgp-split] and
|
||||
[`combine`][openpgp-combine] versions of Shard binaries. These binaries use
|
||||
Sequoia OpenPGP and while they require all the necessary certificates for the
|
||||
splitting stage, the certificates are included in the payload, and once Keyfork
|
||||
supports decrypting using OpenPGP smartcards, certificates will not be required
|
||||
to decrypt the shares.

# keyfork-shard-combine-openpgp
|
||||
|
||||
Combine `threshold` shares into a previously [`split`] secret.
|
||||
|
||||
## Arguments
|
||||
|
||||
`keyfork-shard-combine-openpgp threshold key_discovery`
|
||||
|
||||
* `threshold`: Minimum number of operators present to recover the secret, as
|
||||
previously configured when creating the secret
|
||||
* `key_discovery`: Either a file or a directory containing OpenPGP keys.
|
||||
If a file, load all keys from the file.
|
||||
If a directory, for every file in the directory (non-recursively), load
|
||||
keys from the file.
|
||||
If the amount of keys found is less than `threshold`, an OpenPGP Card
|
||||
fallback will be used to decrypt the rest of the messages.
|
||||
|
||||
## Input
|
||||
|
||||
OpenPGP Messages from [`split`].
|
||||
|
||||
## Output
|
||||
|
||||
Hex-encoded secret.

# keyfork-shard-split-openpgp
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Linked to: keyfork-user-guide/src/bin/keyfork-shard/index.md -->
|
||||
|
||||
Split a secret into threshold-of-max shares, encrypting each share to an
|
||||
OpenPGP certificate. The resulting file may be kept by any share operator, but
|
||||
requires at least `threshold` operators to be present to combine into the
|
||||
original secret.
|
||||
|
||||
## Arguments
|
||||
|
||||
`keyfork-shard-split-openpgp threshold max key_discovery`
|
||||
|
||||
* `threshold`: Minimum number of operators present to recover the secret
|
||||
* `max`: Maximum number of operators; this many OpenPGP certs must be available
|
||||
* `key_discovery`: Either a file or a directory containing OpenPGP certs.
|
||||
If a file, load all certificates from the file.
|
||||
If a directory, for every file in the directory (non-recursively), load
|
||||
certificates from the file.
|
||||
|
||||
## Input
|
||||
|
||||
Hex-encoded secret, ideally up to 2048 characters. For larger secrets, encrypt
|
||||
beforehand using a symmetric key (AES256, for example), and split the symmetric
|
||||
key.
|
||||
|
||||
## Output
|
||||
|
||||
OpenPGP ASCII armored message containing several sequential encrypted messages.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** While it is possible to decrypt some of the messages using a tool
|
||||
like GnuPG or Sequoia, it is not recommended to handle these messages using
|
||||
tooling outside of Keyfork Shard.

# `keyfork shard`
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Linked to: keyfork-user-guide/src/bin/keyfork-shard/index.md -->
|
||||
|
||||
Utilities to enable M-of-N sharing of data, using Shamir's Secret Sharing,
|
||||
supporting multiple formats.
|
||||
|
||||
## Options
|
||||
|
||||
* `--format`: Either `openpgp` or `p256`, provided anywhere after `split`
|
||||
|
||||
### Format: OpenPGP
|
||||
|
||||
The secret is split and shares are automatically encrypted to provided OpenPGP
|
||||
certificates. The resulting output is an OpenPGP ASCII armored message
|
||||
containing several sequential encrypted messages.
|
||||
|
||||
When decrypting, for any missing keys that do not meet the threshold, the
|
||||
command will prompt for a Yubikey to provide smartcard-based decryption of
|
||||
shares.
|
||||
|
||||
### Format: p256
|
||||
|
||||
This section is incomplete as the functionality for p256 keys is not yet
|
||||
implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
## `keyfork shard split`
|
||||
|
||||
Split a secret into threshold-of-max shares.
|
||||
|
||||
### Arguments
|
||||
|
||||
`keyfork shard split --threshold=threshold --max=max key_discovery`
|
||||
|
||||
* `threshold`: Minimum number of operators present to recover the secret
|
||||
* `max`: Maximum number of operators, must equal the amount of keys in
|
||||
`key_discovery`
|
||||
* `key_discovery`: Either a file or a directory containing public keys.
|
||||
If a file, load all public keys from a file.
|
||||
If a directory, for every file in the directory (non-recursively), load
|
||||
public keys from the file.
|
||||
|
||||
### Input
|
||||
|
||||
Hex-encoded secret, ideally up to 2048 characters. For larger secrets, encrypt
|
||||
beforehand using a symmetric key (AES256, for example), and split the symmetric
|
||||
key.
|
||||
|
||||
### Output
|
||||
|
||||
The output of the command is dependent on the format.
|
||||
|
||||
## `keyfork shard combine`
|
||||
|
||||
Combine `threshold` shares into a secret.
|
||||
|
||||
### Arguments
|
||||
|
||||
`keyfork shard combine --threshold=threshold [key_discovery]`
|
||||
|
||||
* `threshold`: Mini mum number of operators present to recover the secret
|
||||
* `key_discovery`: Either a file or a directory containing public keys.
|
||||
If a file, load all private keys from a file.
|
||||
If a directory, for every file in the directory (non-recursively), load
|
||||
private keys from the file.
|
||||
If the amount of keys found is less than `threshold`, it is up to the format
|
||||
to determine how to discover the keys.
|
||||
|
||||
### Input
|
||||
|
||||
The input of the command is dependent on the format, but should be the exact
|
||||
same as the output from the `split` command previously used.
|
||||
|
||||
### Output
|
||||
|
||||
Hex-encoded secret.
