BlackBox v2

===========

WARNING: v2 is still experimental.  It is in the same git repo as v1

because the filenames do not overlap.  Please do not mix the two.  v1

is in `bin`.  v2 is in `cmd/blackbox` and `binv2`.

Blackbox is an open source tool that enables you to safe store sensitive information in

Git (or other) repos by encrypting them with GPG.  Only the encrypted

version of the file is available.  You can be free to provide access

to the repo, as but only people with the right GPG keys can access the

encrypted data.

Things you should **never** store in a repo without encryption:

* TLS (SSL) certificates

* Passwords

* API keys

* And more!
