Aevum Encyclopedia implements zero-knowledge architecture, post-quantum cryptography, and end-to-end encrypted contributions to guarantee that knowledge remains immutable, private, and uncompromised.
Every layer of Aevum's infrastructure is hardened with industry-leading cryptographic primitives and zero-trust principles.
Contributors' identities and draft revisions are encrypted client-side. Our servers never see plaintext content until explicit publication consent is granted.
ZK-SNARKSReal-time collaborative editing uses Signal Protocol-based ratchets. Each keystroke is encrypted before transmission, ensuring editor privacy.
Double RatchetHybrid key exchange (Kyber + X25519) and lattice-based signatures future-proof stored knowledge against quantum decryption threats.
ML-KEM / ML-DSAArticles are fragmented, encrypted, and distributed across geographically isolated nodes. Reconstruction requires threshold signatures.
Shamir's Secret SharingFrom keystroke to archival, every byte is protected through a deterministic, auditable cryptographic pipeline.
Browser/OS generates ephemeral session keys. Content is encrypted locally using AES-256-GCM before leaving the device.
WebCrypto API / liboqsPackets traverse TLS 1.3 channels with forward secrecy. Metadata is stripped and routed through privacy-preserving gateways.
ECDHE-kyber768Encrypted shards are distributed. Reconstruction requires m-of-n authorized keys, preventing single-point data exposure.
Shamir + ECDSAEvery encryption event, key rotation, and access request is hashed and appended to a public cryptographic ledger for verification.
SHA-3 + Merkle TreeIndependent security firms and regulatory bodies continuously validate Aevum's cryptographic implementations and data handling practices.
