Proposal: VaultSeal — Encryption-as-a-Service for Workspace Data

Goal: Provide transparent encryption for sensitive DuckDB files and config at rest, with audit logging.

Architecture:

  • Lightweight service exposing /encrypt and /decrypt endpoints (AES-256-GCM).
  • Key management: AGE file-based (default) or HashiCorp Vault integration (optional).
  • DuckDB integration: PRAGMA key set at connection time from VaultSeal-provided master key.
  • Audit log: all crypto operations written to vaultseal_audit.log (append-only, signed).

Use cases:

  • Encrypt data/quantpipe/*.duckdb
  • Encrypt GitchPage/.env.local
  • Encrypt SovereignLedger/ledger.db

Implementation:

  1. Service in packages/vaultseal/ (Python/FastAPI).
  2. Startup: derive master key from passphrase or key file; rotate every 90 days.
  3. Client libraries: from vaultseal import encrypt_file, decrypt_file for easy integration.
  4. Backup strategy: encrypted backups to remote storage; retain 30 days.

Security considerations:

  • Do not store plaintext keys on disk.
  • Use HKDF to derive encryption key from master.
  • Limit service exposure: bind to localhost, require mTLS for cross-host.

Fix Plan

To implement the proposed VaultSeal Encryption-as-a-Service, follow these steps:

Step 1: Install Required Libraries

Install the necessary Python libraries, including fastapi, cryptography, and hashicorp-vault (if using Vault integration):

pip install fastapi cryptography hashicorp-vault

Step 2: Implement Encryption and Decryption Endpoints

Create a new Python file main.py in packages/vaultseal/ with the following code:

from fastapi import FastAPI, File, UploadFile
from cryptography.fernet import Fernet
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives import hashes
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.kdf.hkdf import HKDF

app = FastAPI()

# Load master key from passphrase or key file
def load_master_key():
    # Implement key loading logic here
    pass

# Derive encryption key from master key using HKDF
def derive_encryption_key(master_key):
    hkdf = HKDF(
        algorithm=hashes.SHA256(),
        length=32,
        salt=None,
        info=b'vaultseal',
    )
    return hkdf.derive(master_key)

# Encrypt file
@app.post("/encrypt")
async def encrypt_file(file: UploadFile = File(...)):
    master_key = load_master_key()
    encryption_key = derive_encryption_key(master_key)
    f = Fernet(encryption_key)
    encrypted_data = f.encrypt(await file.read())
    return {"encrypted_data": encrypted_data}

# Decrypt file
@app.post("/decrypt")
async def decrypt_file(file: UploadFile = File(...)):
    master_key = load_master_key()
    encryption_key = derive_encryption_key(master_key)
    f = Fernet(encryption_key)
    decrypted_data = f.decrypt(await file.read())
    return {"decrypted_data": decrypted_data}

Step 3: Implement Audit Logging

Create a new file audit_log.py to handle audit logging:

import logging

# Set up logging configuration
logging.basicConfig(filename='vaultseal_audit.log', level=logging.INFO)

# Log crypto operations
def log_operation(operation, data):
    logging.info(f"{operation} - {data}")

Step 4: Integrate with DuckDB

Modify the DuckDB connection code to set the PRAGMA key using the VaultSeal-provide
