The paper really isn't _that_ secure. A large fire in a paper archive is only really a once every 50 years phenomenon, tops. Besides, look at the already-existing boring-as-hell absolutely-paramount-to-nat'l-security nuclear missile program to see the grunts running it will be easy social engineering targets. None of them will care.
Be careful with your wishful thinking.
You want a least worst escrow? How about an escrow where the keys aren't written down. How about you just restrict your salt to N, N+1, .., M and have the TLAs brute force it? Actually trust no one.
- mckoss 12y agoGreat idea. If the assumption is that only a handful of keys will be needed pet year, it is much less expensive to require the government to brute force a key solution than storing and securing all the keys. Just choose a key strength that costs about $10,000,000 to brute force it, and keep increasing key strength as more efficient methods are found.
