From the site:

Stronghold is a secure software implementation with the sole purpose of isolating digital secrets from exposure to hackers and accidental leaks. It uses versioned, file-based snapshots with double-encryption that can be easily backed up and securely shared between devices.

Written in Rust, it has strong guarantees of memory safety and process integrity. The high-level developer-friendly libraries integrate the IOTA protocol and serve as a reference implementation for anyone looking for inspiration or best-in-class tooling. The low-level libraries have no notion of cryptocurrency embedded within them and can be used in their entirety without the high-level libraries. In other words, anyone from any industry can use it.

...

Because of its composability, there are many exciting applications that can be built using Stronghold — not just cryptocurrency wallets. Here are just a few ideas of the possibilities to help you get your juices flowing: Wallet, Exchanges, Password Management Tools, Multimedia Center, GDPR Data Processors and Controllers, Travel Agency.

Really excited to see how this melds with some of their other smaller projects like, like Selv that handles decentralized identities.

Some really simple concepts that could really become a killer app for DLT.

Yeah, I’m still wrapping my mind around the possibilities. It’s a very exciting development for sure.

That was a pretty strong pitch. It better be bulletproof.

They do have a pretty massive warning on the github that it has not yet been through a security audit and shouldn't be used for real world applications yet.

Maybe it's just me, but trusting anything associated with IOTA and its long history of incompetence seems like a bad idea.

Idk if it's just you, but I'll say it's at least mostly you.
