Features

Edit Mode

Values can now be edited within a text editor for easier modifications. Visit Manage Values for more information.

Encrypted Value Names and Metadata

Keyring Value names and metadata can now be optionally encrypted to prevent leaking secret details. Visit Manage Keyrings for more information.

Shamir Secret Sharing

Decrypt Private Keys can now be split into secure key shares using Shamir Secret Sharing. Visit Manage Keys for more infomration.

Value Versions

Values will now have previous versions remembered. You can retrieve the latest version, or a version from a specific point in time.

Enhancements

  • Added HKDF variants for ECDHX25519 and ECHP256 encryption. This is considered the new best encryption, rekeying is recommended.
  • Added rot decrypt-keys as a convenient way to cache keys without having to unlock them constantly.
  • Added rot val-cpy to copy Values between Keyrings.
  • Added Windows builds.
  • Changed rot run to add all meta values as environment variables. They will be appended to the Value’s name, i.e. a value TEST with the meta key publicKey=123 would have an environment variable TEST_publicKey=123
  • Changed the Value lookup syntax. All Values must reference the keyring: rot val-dis mykeyring/a/path/to/value.
  • Changed Value comments to a key/value map called meta. Visit Manage Values for more information.
  • rot encrypt and rot decrypt can now reference a path to a keyring/value.
  • Updated the Rot CLI library for better paging navigation.
