Diceware GUI: An easy way for non-tech people to get diceware passphrases

Saikoro: Easy to use GUI for diceware passphrases

Saikoro is a desktop application catered towards making diceware passphrase generation easy and accessible for non-tech savvy users as well. It uses the python package diceware that is commonly used by people comfortable with command line interface to generate passphrase.

All the features use diceware directly. So Saikoro is kind of a GUI wrapper for the command line application.

Developer Install

• git clone https://github.com/SaptakS/saikoro.git
• python3 -m venv .venv
• source .venv/bin/activate
• python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
• ./scripts/dev.sh

Is it secure?

Refer to the section in diceware readme to learn more about it. This GUI uses the random.SystemRandom and currently doesn't support other forms of randomness like real dice.

Options

• No. of words: One can specify the number of words one wants in the passphrase
• No. of special characters: One can specify the number of special characters in the passphrase. The special characters are selected randomly and placed in random locations
• Delimiter: One can separate the words using a delimiter. It is empty string by default. It can be space, "-", "_" or any other character

saikoro's Issues

Add an option for choosing a wordlist

In the diceware CLI, there is an option to choose from wordlists

Deliverable:

• A dropdown selector in the right panel to chose from the 4 options that diceware provides right now which are:
  • en_securedrop (8192 words)
  • en (8192 words)
  • en_eff (7776 words, default)
  • en_orig (7776 words)

Check the codebase for diceware for how the implementation would work

Add non-english wordlists

Non-english passphrases can sometimes arguably be stronger against brute force attacks since english is usually what is used most times.

I would love to have wordlists made in other different languages and added as part of this repository. The types of wordlists supported by diceware can be found here: https://diceware.readthedocs.io/en/stable/wordlists.html#plain-wordlists

Runtime error on Fedora 33

I am trying to execute from git repo on Fedora 33.

Allow custom wordlists

Diceware CLI allows you to provide custom wordlists to generate passphrases from. We want something similar.

• Add a file chooser with proper label. The file chooser will basically just take the path of the file as input and then make a Wordlist instance using that. Check this bit of code in diceware
