Vault environment in Qubes OS.
An offline qube will be created and named "vault", it will have a password manager for high entropy passwords, PGP and SSH client for creating private keys.
- Top:
sudo qubesctl top.enable vault
sudo qubesctl --targets=tpl-vault state.apply
sudo qubesctl top.disable vault
sudo qubesctl state.apply vault.appmenus
- State:
sudo qubesctl state.apply vault.create
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=tpl-vault state.apply vault.install
sudo qubesctl state.apply vault.appmenus
The intended usage is to hold passwords and keys. You should copy the keys generated from the vault to another qube, which can be a split agent server for SSH, PGP, Pass. A compromise of the client qube can escalate into a compromise of the qubes it can run RPC services, therefore a separate vault is appropriate according to your threat model.
