## Why use Secret Border?

This tool is an easy and safe way to create your personal identity on [Nostr](https://nostr.com/) protocol. Using it you can generate a pair of Nostr keys and backup them in a safe way.

## What are the security guarantees that Secret Border supply?

 - It can be used completely offline.

 - Use **cryptographically strong pseudo-random number generator** ([CSPRNG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographically_secure_pseudorandom_number_generator)).

 - It doesn't save your secret anywhere (**unless you request it**).

 - You can backup your secret in an encrypted file with a password (that you specify). 

 - Code full open source.

 - It can backup secret in a encrypted file using **AES256**.

 - Allow user to add entropy at the generate key process.

## Features

 - [x] Generate pair of keys randomly

 - [x] Show keys

 - [x] Not connect externally with whatever

 - [x] Export private key to an encrypted file

 - [x] Import an encrypted file with a private key

 - [x] Enter entropy to complement key generation

 - [ ] Support for basic key derivation from mnemonic seed phrase - [NIP06](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/06.md) ⏳
