Red October is a TLS-based encryption server that implements two-man rule authorization, requiring multiple users to collaborate for cryptographic operations.
Red October Description
Red October is a software-based two-man rule encryption and decryption server that implements dual-person authorization for cryptographic operations. The system operates as a TLS server that requires multiple authorized users to collaborate before encryption or decryption operations can be performed. This two-man rule approach ensures that no single individual can unilaterally access encrypted data. The server requires several components for operation: - A local file to store the key vault - An internet address for network accessibility - A TLS certificate keypair for secure communications Setup involves acquiring or generating a TLS certificate, which can be accomplished through self-signed certificate generation using specific command sequences. The system maintains cryptographic keys in a vault structure that requires multiple user authorizations to unlock. Red October provides organizations with a method to implement separation of duties for sensitive cryptographic operations, ensuring that critical encryption and decryption tasks cannot be performed by a single person acting alone.
