Why I chose end-to-end AES-256-GCM in ORVEXIA Vault
ORVEXIA Vault promises something simple: your data, your rules. For that to be real, the key decision was the encryption model.
The standard: AES-256-GCM
I chose AES-256-GCM because AES-256 is the symmetric standard of governments and banks, and GCM doesn't just encrypt: it also authenticates, detecting tampering.
| Property | What it provides |
|---|---|
| Confidentiality | No one without the key reads the content |
| Integrity | If a byte changes, decryption fails safely |
End-to-end, for real
Encrypting "at rest" on the server isn't enough if the server can read your files. The goal is zero-knowledge: content is encrypted before leaving the device.
The best way to protect a piece of data is to not be able to see it yourself.
What's coming
Encrypted sync across devices while keeping zero-knowledge. The rule doesn't change: convenience never at the cost of your privacy.
