Testing an old idea: NFC-based transient accounts: accounts that log off as soon as the app goes to the background, deleting all traces of the account from the phone.

It looks like this in debugging speeds:

If you are an activist and if your phone is confiscated, they will never find anything on the phone. Not even your public key.

Walk around with Amethyst installed and an NFC tag hidden in your clothing. When you need to use Amethyst, tap the tag, insert your password and login. Lock the screen to delete everything.

The NFC has a NIP-49 password-encrypted nsec. If you need, destroy and dispose the NFC tag.

Upload contents of entire phone then delete. The ability to dump one message

Wow amazing

I never realized you cared so much about these things. It makes me really happy to see your focus on such important issues.

Really cool! Feature request, rather than decrypting the key with the password, it should be like a seed passphrase. It would allow you to have deniability, with a decoy profile in case authorities force you to decrypt that NFC tag. With NIP-49 it is possible for authorities to know you gave them ...

Holy moly this is an interesting concept.

That's really cool.

Wouldn't it be better to have the NFC tag sign the event, keeping the key material even out of memory?

So I don't understand why one would use this, but I hope anyone here can explain to me why this would be useful and who it is useful for? #AskNostr

What’s nfc?
HoloKat · 79w
Great idea!
Sérgio Luis · 79w
That is fucking amazing!!

I'd vote up for that option. The password-encrypted NFC is easy enough to use on any phone and to write. Cheap prices per unit and basically any wearable nowadays can be a hidden NFC tag. This would make it very hard to even find the NFC, let alone decrypt the key afterwards when it is done right.

So cool! That idea had many other uses too!

Another way would be request pin when opening the app and the possibility of setting up a duress pin (GrapheneOS inspiration) so if I type duress PIN all data is erased. Altgought not sure if it would solve the same problem. https://grapheneos.org/features#duress

This plus ecash stored in relays are two of the most innovative ideas I’ve seen lately.

Very cool and useful idea

that's an interesting concept. i like it.
Cybernetus · 79w
Interessante o conceito principalmente pensando em biochip. Como tenho um NFC implantado ( biochip da Dangerous Things ) ter a chave dentro do NFC e carregando a conta. Curti a idéia, vou acompanhar
Cast Iron Hands · 79w
This idea could be applied more broadly to the device itself. i.e- unlock the phone with the NFC tag and it opens to your regular home screen, all apps and data accessible, etc. Unlock it with a passcode only (as if forced to do so by authorities), and it opens to a basic screen with minimal apps th...
