Table of Contents

Description

An offline qube will be created and named "vault", it will have a password manager for high entropy passwords, PGP and SSH client for creating private keys.

Installation

  • Top:
qubesctl top.enable vault
qubesctl --targets=tpl-vault state.apply
qubesctl top.disable vault
qubesctl state.apply vault.appmenus
  • State:
qubesctl state.apply vault.create
qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=tpl-vault state.apply vault.install
qubesctl state.apply vault.appmenus

Usage

The intended usage is to hold passwords and keys. You should copy the keys generated from the vault to another qube, which can be a split agent server for SSH, PGP, Pass. A compromise of the client qube can escalate into a compromise of the qubes it can run RPC services, therefore a separate vault is appropriate according to your threat model.
