The Cryptography Behind NeuroAI Vault

The Cryptography Behind NeuroAI Vault

Cryptographic Primitives in NeuroAI Vault

Securing automated enterprise workloads requires rotating high-concurrency credentials without exposing plain text secrets. To achieve this, NeuroAI Vault utilizes zero-knowledge end-to-end encryption combining AES-GCM-256 and Argon2id key derivation.

Architecture

Our secrets storage model relies on strict client-side encryption before credentials touch the network:

  1. Argon2id KDF: Client-side passwords derive encryption keys.
  2. AES-GCM-256 Encryption: Data blocks are encrypted with authenticated parameters to detect tampering.
  3. ZK Exchange: Verification tokens are verified without sending password hashes.
// Authentication hash derivation example
import { pbkdf2 } from 'crypto';

export function deriveClientKey(secret: string, salt: string): Promise<string> {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    pbkdf2(secret, salt, 100000, 32, 'sha256', (err, key) => {
      if (err) reject(err);
      resolve(key.toString('hex'));
    });
  });
}
