Profile

This is a small Rust app for encrypting files that can only be unlocked after a chosen amount of time.You can 'timelock' any file, the content is encrypted with a key and that key is then protected by a sequential time-lock puzzle (Rivest-Shamir-Wagner style). Unlocking requires non-parallelizable computation time rather than waiting for a server or trusting a third party.Possible uses:- Delayed release of important work, scientific results, or investigation proof before making the reports/papers/final touches- Timelocking crypto currencies BIP-39 passphrases for added security against home invasion / kidnapping- Self managed inheritance plan. Put your timelocked passwords or files in a USB
