Show HN: Commandline tool for protecting data using TouchID+Secure Enclave Toucli is a tool I made to solve a specific problem on my personal MacBook, where I had to pass in sensitive data like API keys to 3rd party applications on the commandline, but wanted to encrypt those keys on disk and require the physical presence of TouchID to decrypt/access them. As I state in the readme, for production and office environments a proper external system would be better, but for my single personal machine Toucli solved my problems without needing any external running service. It was also an excuse to use Swift and Xcode for the first time, which I had wanted to do for some time. https://ift.tt/F7ltur1 August 25, 2022 at 12:47PM
Show HN: Launch VM workloads securely and instantaneously, without VMs Hello HN! We've been working on a new hypervisor https://kwarantine.xyz that can run strongly isolated containers. This is still a WIP, but we wanted to give the community an idea about our approach, its benefits, and various use cases it unlocks. Today, VMs are used to host containers, and make up for the lack of strong security as well as kernel isolation in containers. This work adds this missing security piece in containers. We plan on launching a free private beta soon. Meanwhile, we'd deeply appreciate any feedback, and happy to answer any questions here or on our slack channel. Thanks! April 29, 2021 at 07:50AM
