Technology Stack

How It Works

1. User Registration/Login
   Users sign up and log in to the system. Each session is secured with authentication.

2. Role-based Access (Admin/User)
   Admins can view and manage all documents. Users can only manage their own.

3. Document Upload with Encryption
   When a document is uploaded, it is automatically encrypted using AES before saving.

4. Encrypted File Storage
   The encrypted version of the document is stored on the server, not the plain file.

5. Decryption on Download
   When a user requests a download, the file is decrypted in-memory and sent to the browser.

6. Audit Logging
   Every upload, download, and deletion is logged with user, timestamp, and IP.

7. Optional 2FA / OTP
   For extra security, users can enable 2FA during sensitive operations like downloads.

8. Admin Dashboard
   Admins can view all documents, manage users, and monitor vault activity.
