Security deep dive: How the 0nVault container encryption works
I spent some time reviewing the vault encryption implementation. Here's a technical breakdown for anyone interested:
**Encryption layers:**
- **Outer layer**: AES-256-GCM with PBKDF2-SHA512 derived key (100K iterations)
- **Credential layer**: Additional Argon2id encryption for sensitive data
- **Container format**: Ed25519 signed binary (.0nv)
**What makes it interesting:**
- Hardware fingerprint binding โ vault won't decrypt on a different machine
- 7 semantic layers with independent access control
- Multi-party escrow using X25519 ECDH (up to 8 parties)
- Seal of Truth: SHA3-256 content-addressed integrity verification
**The patent-pending part** (US #63/990,046) is the layer architecture. Each layer can have different encryption parameters and access policies.
From a security perspective, this is solid engineering. Happy to answer questions about the crypto implementation.
