Just wanted to note that in addition (and with the help of) Richard Miller's
work on riscv, I was able to import the userspace portions for riscv into
9front. The result of that work is not merged (there has yet to be someone that
has put in the work to write a 9front kernel for riscv) however t
I did a go implementation of secstore, for reasons, based on the Inferno
one, and the protocol isn't ideal at several points
(which I'd have to look up again), for error handling as I recall. it uses
AES in a CBC mode, over an RC4 SSL
(just for the records, not for anything really SSL). The Go

I like secstore, but the chicken-or-egg question is real. It's
from the world where you have a dedicated auth server, and that
doesn't always track with a laptop needing a key to get to the
network. I do store my wpa key outside secstore for this reason,
and then use it for everything else. Still,

Not replace. Sectore is useful for more than just factotum.
But the sectore interface is very clunky, and I think that's
what turns people away from it. While I keep confidential
files other than factotum
Here's a pair of small historical mysteries that came up on IRC.
Bopen allows you to open a file OREAD or OWRITE; you cannot open it read+write.
That's been true at least since 2nd Edition.
But /sys/src/cmd/postscript/tr2post/picutres.c contains a pair of invocations
of "Bopen(pictmpname, ORDWR
I spent years working with chromebooks and once I did a coordinate
transformation from that security model to what Plan 9 does, things
made a lot more sense :-)
That said, I think, if anyone has time, it's worth taking a look at
what chromebooks did for security. It might have some use in the

I don't think there is one. I found a project that claims to be a WebAssembly
port of Plan9 not long time ago: https://github.com/xphung/plan9_webasm, and
they used Emscripten. If you want a Plan9 C compiler targeting
I use it (in my 9front Pi cluster). Works for me.
It could probably use some improvement in terms of tools for managing
the stored keys, plus I never figured out how to avoid needing to enter
my secstore password twice instead of just once every time I log in, but
it's not exactly broken.
