Made another 8 Signets today. Took a bit of board rework, but I managed to get all of them working. That means I'm now up to 20/20 successful builds. I dropped some caps, resistors and diodes, but no wasted CPUs or PCBs.
I'm making progres. Now I just have to do the hard parts: getting the word out, being social, improving the documentation, etc.
Engineering, cryptography, hardware design and assembly... these are the easy parts for me.
What is it?
i think its this
Yup! The original authors abandoned the project, but being open source, anyone could pick it up.
I am that anyone. And now the hardware is available for sale again.
(Store isn't set up yet, but if anyone is impatient, they can shoot me some coins and a shipping address)
Open source physical password manager, pretty neat.
Ooh. Nice! 🤩
What are these used for?
It's a hardware password manager. Keeps all your secrets safe. Encryped. Under your control. All open source. Works offline.
No storing your data on some server in the cloud without your knowledge (but you could make a back p and explicitly store that in a cloud if you want).
And even if your computer is completely compromised, Signet will still limit the damage the attacker can do.

That’s awesome! You build these yourself? Or is a DIY kit?
I'm building them myself, but anyone whonwants to order the components, get PCBs made and assemble them are free to do so of they want. All the info needed to DIY is in this repo:

Pro tip: it's far more work than it seems!
