This will be a short demo of my new app that uses advanced cryptography to back up sensitive data to friends and family.
Some of our data is fine to store on corpo servers but there are some passwords, encryption keys, and documents that deserve a higher level of security. Horcrux uses an algorithm names Shamir's Secret Sharing to break your secrets into encrypted shares and store those shares with friends so that no single person has access to the data. Decrypting it becomes a social exercise where multiple parties consent to combine their shares and open the vault. Best of all Horcrux is open source and free to use.
