I had trouble finding this with Google-fu but was there not discussion a while back of a format for stringifying file content and encrypting it for printing and dead-tree archiving in a safe or whatnot? I am having trouble finding any info about. I found OllyDbg Paperback, but I am not sure that is what I was looking for. Anyone remember?

I am curious if someone could "paper up" something like PGP to be stored in a safe, if the format I vaguely recall did not go that far.



The two I've seen recently are optar [1] and paperkey [2]. Paperkey is just for pgp keys, however. Optar claims to get about 200kB per A4 page, which seems fairly dense.

Thanks for the links. I spent like 30 minutes searching for this yesterday and totally dropped the ball.
