GNU Anastasis v0.3.0 released

GNU Anastasis is a Free Software protocol and implementation that allows users to securely deposit core secrets with an open set of escrow providers and to recover these secrets if their original copies are lost.

Currently, GNU Anastasis is released as Beta-quality software. We think it is working, but we have extremely limited experience of its use in practice. It is not yet production ready! You should not rely on it to keep your secrets recoverable today! In particular, we need to still review the various country-specific questions used to create unique user identifiers at the beginning of the backup and recovery process. Community feedback on those inputs would be particularly welcome!

Notable changes include:

  • Secret to recover now selected by name instead of by provider and version
  • Anastasis WebUI now supports editing the list of providers
  • Eliminated currency-based selection of providers
  • Added support for additional countries
  • Fixed various minor bugs
  • Many cosmetic improvements

You can download the sources from the main GNU FTP server via HTTP(S) and FTP. It can also be found on the GNU mirrors; please use a mirror if possible.
