MAID is (Mutually) Assured Information Destruction: "Maid cleans up after you're no longer around."
General overview[edit]
M.A.I.D. is a framework that provides time sensitive remote key escrow and provable authentication with optional distress coding. It automatically destroys cryptographic keys after a given user configurable time threshold is crossed.
Features[edit]
- Provable authentication (with either local or remote attestation)
- Cryptographic key storage on remote systems
- Optional distress coding during authentication
- Time sensitive user configurable key destruction
- Strong multi-party anonymity is a requirement for participation.

History[edit]
M.A.I.D was initially discussed by it's creator Jacob Appelbaum at the Chaos Computer Club's 22nd Communications Congress in the winter of 2005.
