Share SSH Keys Securely
Send SSH private keys through encrypted, self-destructing links instead of email attachments.
The problem
SSH private keys emailed as attachments or pasted into messages give permanent access to servers. Email attachments are often unencrypted in transit and at rest, and shared keys in chat can be retrieved months later by anyone with channel access.
How Vaulted helps
Vaulted lets you paste an SSH key (up to 1,000 characters) and share it through a link encrypted with AES-256-GCM on your device. The link self-destructs after viewing, so the key is not left exposed. Because encryption happens client-side, the server never sees the plaintext key.
How to do it
- Paste your SSH private key into Vaulted
- Set a single-view limit for maximum security
- Send the link to the person who needs server access
- They retrieve the key, and the link is permanently destroyed
