Red October is a Go-based TLS server implementing two-man rule style encryption and decryption, where no single individual can decrypt data alone. It manages delegated user credentials and exposes a JSON API for encrypting payloads tied to multiple users' credentials.

Use cases

• require two people to decrypt sensitive files
• protect secrets against insider threats
• delegate cryptographic keys with time limits
• encrypt data so no single admin can decrypt it
• self-host a two-person rule key vault

When to choose

• your organization requires dual-control decryption of sensitive data
• you need delegated, time-limited key custody with an audit trail
• you want a self-hosted cryptographic service enforcing multi-person authorization

When to avoid

• you need actively maintained software - the project is no longer developed
• you just need standard file encryption without multi-party control
• you need a modern secrets manager with cloud integrations
