Do you stash an extra house key under a rock or a potted plant, or leave a copy with a trusted neighbor "just in case"? Do you keep extra copies of important documents in a bank safe deposit box?


zEscrow is a digital equivalent of that concept, originally designed for eCryptfs users who choose to encrypt their private data using a strong, randomly generated key.


Users of Ubuntu's Encrypted Home Directory are prompted on first boot to record their long, random mount passkey. These users should print it out, write it down, and store the hard copy in a safe, secure physical location. Some of these users may choose to deposit a copy of their ~/.ecryptfs/ configuration and random mount passphrase here at zEscrow, "just in case", so that they can digitally retrieve it later if necessary. On a command line, just run the command:


ecryptfs-escrow-private
