The GNU Anastasis is a key recovery system that allows the user to securely deposit shares of a core secret with an open set of escrow providers, to recover it if the secret is lost. The core secret itself is protected from the escrow providers by giving each provider only part of the information, and additionally by encrypting it with an identity-based key unknown to the providers. It prioritizes user privacy by implementing strong cryptographic protocols and privacy-enhancing features. Anastasis comes with an Android app.
The GNU Taler Wallet is a software developed within the GNU Taler project. It serves as a user interface for managing digital payments and transactions securely. The app enables users to store digital currency, make payments, and monitor transaction history. Taler Wallet also comes with an Android app.
The goals of the project are to design and implement:
1. A mechanism to allow any app to save its secret keys via Anastasis app.
2. A mechanism to allow any app to make its users pay for its services via Taler Wallet app.
3. A feature in Anastasis app that allows its users to pay the backup providers for their service via Taler Wallet app.
