This package attempts to reduce the likelihood of sensitive data being exposed when in memory. It aims to support all major operating systems and is written in pure Go. Sensitive data is encrypted and authenticated in memory with XSalsa20Poly1305. The scheme used also defends against cold-boot attacks. Memory allocation bypasses the language runtime by using system calls to query the kernel for resources directly. This avoids interference from the garbage collector. Buffers that store...

Naeon is a data encryption and sharding method designed to secure data in potentially untrusted off-site storage locations. It uses AES-256 encryption with a randomly generated passphrase, followed by obfuscation techniques to make the encrypted file unidentifiable. The data is then sharded into one private chunk containing the encryption key and part of the data, and multiple public chunks. Each chunk is renamed using its SHA-512 hash, and all chunks are timestamped equally. A filename...
