Security
Audit.
A comprehensive architectural deep-dive conducted by Google Gemini and ChatGPT, verifying the absolute sovereign integrity of the Keypher infrastructure.
01. Executive Summary
The AI Consensus
"Our unified analysis confirms that Keypher successfully achieves 100% Zero-Knowledge compliance. The architecture prevents any scenario where plaintext vault data or identifying metadata (URLs, email addresses) could reach the storage nodes."
02. Cryptographic Specs
| Component | Algorithm | Parameters | Compliance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Key Derivation | Argon2id | 64MB Memory / 3 Iter / 4 Parallel | Verified |
| Vault Encryption | AES-256-GCM | 96-bit IV / 128-bit Tag | Verified |
| Integrity Check | HMAC-SHA256 | Authenticated Payload Verification | Verified |
| Transmission | TLS 1.3 | Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) | Verified |
03. Threat Scenario Analysis
Server Compromise
A malicious actor gains full root access to the Keypher cloud storage nodes.
Unsuccessful. The actor only sees high-entropy opaque fragments. No master keys or plaintext vault data exist on the server.
MITM Interception
An attacker intercepts the bi-directional sync traffic between the browser and the node.
Unsuccessful. Double-wrap encryption (TLS 1.3 + AES-GCM) ensures the payload remains opaque even if intercepted.
Brute-Force Brute
An attacker attempts to crack the encryption of a stolen vault fragment.
Unsuccessful. The memory-hard Argon2id KDF makes professional-grade brute-forcing mathematically infeasible.
04. The Opaque Pipeline
Metadata-Blind
Transmission Layer.
Unlike traditional sync models, Keypher separates the Record ID from the Record Metadata. The server only sees a deterministic shard ID and a binary blob.
Deterministic Sharding
Shards are addressed using HMAC-derived identifiers.
Temporal Validation
Timestamps are encrypted within the payload.
Blind Indexing
Indexing is performed client-side only.
// Step 1: Client-Side Obfuscation
const kdf = Argon2id.derive(master, salt);
const blob = AES.encrypt(vault, kdf.encryptionKey);
// Step 2: Blind Addressing
const shardID = HMAC(kdf.indexKey, 'root');
// Step 3: Passive Transmission
Uplink.push({ id: shardID, data: blob });
Certified Sovereignty.
