e2e encryption for secure storage at rest #168

Description

@SolMi-Sera

Use Case

Granular, client-side encryption for notes with:

  • file-level encryption on save (pre-transit)
  • per-note decryption, on-demand
    • unique encryption key per note
    • decryption triggered on open event

Purpose

Zero-trust protection against:

  • repository/account compromise
  • cloud provider (github) content access
  • unauthorized local application access
  • unintended data exposure

Proposed Change

  • Implement note-level encryption:
    • encrypt contents before save/commit
    • unique encryption key per note
    • seamless, on-demand decryption workflow
    • user-controlled key management

Who Benefits From The Change?

  • devs/users handling:
    • sensitive personal/professional info
    • trade-secrets
    • confidential documents
  • privacy-conscious developers

I'm unaware of the totality of work this would require, but it seems there are a few MIT libs (cryptography (Fernet)) that may be a suitable candidate for integration?

If I'm out of bounds here, lmk; I'm willing to learn & happy to adjust accordingly.
