Newscard encrypts a local text file and publishes it via NNTP.
The name assigned to the card is the address and passphrase.
Anyone who knows the name or passphrase can retrieve the card.
A very strong passphrase will keep the card content secret.
Newscard uses nine layers of encryption and chain hashes that are
derived from multiple hash streams and large, random salt.
Use 'tuff' mode for very strong encryption passphrases.

Try 'card help' for usage instructions.

* 2. NEWSCARD TIPS *

Ways you can use newscard include:

1. Publishing and retrieving scripts, sources, and articles with a phrase.
2. Publishing a personal profile others can retrieve with a keyword.
3. Exchanging encrypted messages (using strong keys or 'tuff' mode).
4. Including newscard keys in signatures and articles.

Once published, a newscard remains a permanent record.

* 3. NEWSCARD HELP AND USAGE *

WARNING: Use 'tuff' mode for high security against decryption.
Tuff mode generates cards with high-security, strong passphrases.
Enc mode forces a minimum custom key size and still may be insecure.
Enc mode should be used if you want the public to decrypt the card.
Tuff mode should be used to prevent the public from reading the card.
