Self-decrypting HTML packages air-gapped file encryption with OpenPGP signatures

cms-sfx-demo.apeleg.com Editor score 7/10

The single-file tool decrypts offline in a browser, embeds OpenPGP signatures and aims for reproducible builds, though the author notes an OS dependency. Its design offers a useful case for engineers balancing portability, auditability and secure file sharing.

What

Self-decrypting file sharing packages encrypted content as a single HTML page that needs only a browser and no network.

How

Embedded OpenPGP signatures and sort-of reproducible builds support auditability; the HTML structure permits decryption while preserving the PGP signature.

Why it matters

An auditable, dependency-light delivery format can support offline file exchange, including decryption with bare OpenSSL.
