Yopass is a project for sharing secrets in a quick and secure manner*. The sole purpose of Yopass is to minimize the amount of passwords floating around in ticket management systems, IRC logs and emails. The message is encrypted/decrypted locally in the browser and then sent to yopass without the decryption key which is only visible once to the user during encryption, yopass then returns a one-time URL with specified expiry date.
There is no perfect way of sharing secrets online and there is a trade off in every implementation. Yopass is designed to be as simple and "dumb" as possible without compromising on security. There's no mapping between the generated UUID and the user that submitted the encrypted message. It's always best send all the context except password over another channel.
Yopass is rewritten from ruby to go. The old version still exist on rubygems or in tag 3.0.7
- AES-256 encryption
- Secrets can only be viewed once
- No secrets are written to disk
- No accounts or user management required
- Secrets self destruct after X hours
It's highly recommended to run TLS encryption using nginx/apache or yopass builtin TLS server.
docker run --name memcached_yopass -d memcached
TLS encryption
docker run -p 1337:1337 -v /local/certs/:/certs -e TLS_CERT=/certs/tls.crt \
-e TLS_KEY=/certs/tls.key -e 'MEMCACHED=memcache:11211' --link memcached_yopass:memcache -d jhaals/yopass
Plain(make sure this is restricted to localhost)
docker run -p 1337:1337 -e 'MEMCACHED=memcache:11211' --link memcached_yopass:memcache -d jhaals/yopass
go get github.com/jhaals/yopass
MEMCACHED=memcache:11211 go run yopass.go
All endpoints expect JSON
Create secret - POST /secret
secret - aes-256-cbc (openssl formatted)
expiration - 3600, 86400, 604800
Returns 200
{
key: "ecfe32c7-266f-11e5-ad90-34363bcbad30",
message: "secret stored"
}
Get secret - GET /secret/{key}
{
secret: "=AKJF7\sKJFVUA==",
message: "OK"
}
Secret status - HEAD /secret/{key}
Returns 200 if {key} exists otherwise 404
