+<h2 id="main-heading">GNU Anastasis</h2>
+<hr class="thin" />
+
+<p>
+GNU Anastasis is a Free Software protocol and implementation that
+allows users to securely deposit core secrets with an open set of
+escrow providers and to recover these secrets if their original copies
+are lost.  Anastasis is free software and part of the <a href="/">GNU
+    project</a>.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Currently, GNU Anastasis is released as alpha-quality software.
+  When testing Anastasis, please choose &quot;demoland&quot; as
+  your country of residence!
+  <b>It is not yet production ready! You cannot rely on it to keep
+    your secrets recoverable today!</b>  In particular, we need to
+    still review the various country-specific questions used to create
+    unique user identifiers at the beginning of the backup and
+    recovery process.  Community feedback on those inputs would be
+    particularly welcome!
+</p>
+<p>
+Key features that distinguish Anastasis from other
+projects are:
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>Multiple independent providers store key shares</li>
+  <li>Providers learn nothing about their users during backup</li>
+  <li>Providers only learn required data for authentication (not key share) 
during recovery</li>
+  <li>Integrated privacy-preserving payments with GNU Taler</li>
+  <li>Authentication requirements configured by end-user</li>
+  <li>Flexible recovery policies, not only k-out-of-n</li>
+  <li>Pluggable authentication methods (today: SMS, e-mail, snail mail, 
security question and IBAN wire transfer)</li>
+  <li>Commercial support available via <a 
href="https://anastasis.lu/";>Anastasis SARL</a></li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  Anastasis was started because <a href="https://taler.net/";>GNU Taler</a>
+  needed a privacy-preserving way for users to recover encryption keys for
+  backups of the Taler wallet. Furthermore, we were told by regulators that
+  data recovery could not hinge on a user remembering a strong passphrase.
+  Existing alternatives were either non-free, relied on a single-provider's
+  trustworthiness, did not maintain confidentiality of the key at all times,
+  or required the user to involve their friends in safekeeping their keys.
+  In contrast, Anastasis is designed to provide the best possible privacy
+  by design and a viable business model for commercial escrow providers.
