One-Time Secret 0.5

Keep sensitive info out of your chat logs & email.

Basic Usage

Use onetime to share something you know (a secret phrase, a special link, etc) or to generate a secret (e.g. a temporary password).

onetime share

You can pipe it:

$ echo "I STILL WATCH NIGHT COURT." | onetime
https://onetimesecret.com/secret/mc5o2649tva6885wvyspm0flobsasin

You can type it:

$ onetime
Paste secret here (hit control-D to continue):
I STILL WATCH NIGHT COURT.
https://onetimesecret.com/secret/3djys3b7tridrcvbiprqjejz0c2g07x

And you can read from a file:

$ <path/2/file onetime
https://onetimesecret.com/secret/8f8k3ajhax87ctln3h6y11nsb4vf0wq

Note that we don't use cat in that example! We don't want to provoke the ire of Randal L. Schwartz.

onetime generate

$ onetime generate
Your secret: CttenFwzVpjs
https://onetimesecret.com/secret/er5djg1wodsp5m32oyym489bnuhsfp6

onetime get

You can retrieve a secret too:

$ onetime get mc5o2649tva6885wvyspm0flobsasin
I STILL WATCH NIGHT COURT.

The URI works too:

$ onetime get https://onetimesecret.com/secret/mc5o2649tva6885wvyspm0flobsasin
I STILL WATCH NIGHT COURT.

Output Format

onetime also supports YAML, JSON, and to a limited extent CSV outputs. Specify the format using the -f global option:

$ onetime -f yaml generate

Installation

$ [sudo] gem install onetime

However, in order to be sure the code you're installing hasn't been tampered with, it's recommended that you verify the signiture[http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/21]. To do this, you need to add my public key as a trusted certificate (you only need to do this once):

    # Add the public key as a trusted certificate
    # (You only need to do this once)
    $ curl -O https://raw.github.com/onetimesecret/onetime-ruby/master/gem-public_cert.pem
    $ gem cert --add gem-public_cert.pem

Then, when install the gem, do so with high security:

    $ gem install onetime -P HighSecurity

If you don't add the public key, you'll see an error like "Couldn't verify data signature". If you're still having trouble let me know and I'll give you a hand.
