Zero-Knowledge Encryption
Your passwords are encrypted on your device beforethey ever reach our servers. DigiXVault's zero-knowledge architecture means we can never see, access, or recover your plaintext credentials.
How Zero-Knowledge Encryption Works
Local Key Derivation
Your master password is processed through Argon2id key derivation on your device, producing a unique encryption key. This key never leaves your machine.
Client-Side Encryption
Every credential is encrypted using AES-256-GCM encryption locally in your browser before any data is transmitted to DigiXVault's servers.
Encrypted Storage
Our servers only receive and store encrypted ciphertext. Without your locally-derived key, this data is mathematically impossible to decrypt — even by us.
What Zero-Knowledge Means for Your Organization
Complete Privacy
No DigiXVault employee, contractor, or system can ever view your stored passwords or metadata.
Breach Resilient
Even in a worst-case server breach, attackers only find encrypted data they cannot decrypt without your local key.
No Back Doors
There are no master keys, recovery backdoors, or admin overrides. Your master password is the only way to decrypt your vault.
Regulatory Compliance
Zero-knowledge architecture helps satisfy SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA requirements for data protection and privacy.
