24 alternatives to Frozen Security

The core problem I kept running into with hardware wallets: the private key exists as a persistent digital object inside a chip. It’s protected — but it exists. That’s the vulnerability. Protection fails; existence is structural. I built a different model. The private key is encoded as a geometric hole pattern in a titanium plate. A signing terminal reads the plate optically, derives the key transiently in volatile memory, signs the transaction, and discards everything. The plate doesn’t change. Nothing is stored. A few implementation details that might interest people here: The signing…

    So the main purpose here is to show _a_ way that session-token theft can be mitigated. Clearly, this isn't NSA proof or something you'd use to secure a BL5 containment facility, but to prevent session-jacking; if feels like it could help a lot, and would be pretty quick and easy to roll out if an IDP wanted to implement it.

    Keeper is an embeddable secret store (Argon2id, XChaCha20-Poly1305 by default). Four security levels, audit chains, crash-safe rotation. Vault is overkill for most use cases. This is for when you ge paranoid about env and need encrypted local storage that doesn't suck. No security through obscurity, hence, It's still early, so now's the best time to find weird edge cases, race conditions, memory leaks, crypto misuse, anything that breaks. The README has a full security model breakdown if you want to get adversarial.
