| ## Core Components
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### 1. AgeCrypto - Age Encryption Interface
 | |
| 
 | |
| **File**: `age_crypto.go`
 | |
| 
 | |
| Provides the primary interface for Age encryption operations with role-based access control.
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Key Features
 | |
| 
 | |
| - **X25519 Key Pairs**: Modern elliptic curve cryptography
 | |
| - **Multi-Recipient Encryption**: Encrypt for multiple roles simultaneously
 | |
| - **Role-Based Access**: Integrate with CHORUS role system
 | |
| - **Key Validation**: Comprehensive key format checking
 | |
| - **Permission Management**: Check decryption permissions
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Age Encryption System
 | |
| 
 | |
| Age (Actually Good Encryption) is a modern, simple encryption system with:
 | |
| - **X25519 key agreement**: Elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman
 | |
| - **ChaCha20-Poly1305**: Authenticated encryption
 | |
| - **Scrypt**: Key derivation for password-based encryption
 | |
| - **Simple format**: Human-readable keys and armored output
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Key Formats**:
 | |
| ```
 | |
| Private Key: AGE-SECRET-KEY-1QQPQQ8NQQQSQQQSQQQSQQQSQQQSQQQSQQQSQQQSQQQSQQQ...
 | |
| Public Key:  age1qqpqqnqqqqsqqqqsqqqqsqqqqsqqqqsqqqqsqqqqsqqqsqqqqsqq...
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Creating AgeCrypto Instance
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| import (
 | |
|     "chorus/pkg/config"
 | |
|     "chorus/pkg/crypto"
 | |
| )
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Initialize with configuration
 | |
| cfg := &config.Config{
 | |
|     Agent: config.Agent{
 | |
|         ID:   "agent001",
 | |
|         Role: "backend_developer",
 | |
|     },
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| ageCrypto := crypto.NewAgeCrypto(cfg)
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Generating Age Key Pairs
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Generate new Age X25519 key pair
 | |
| keyPair, err := crypto.GenerateAgeKeyPair()
 | |
| if err != nil {
 | |
|     log.Fatalf("Key generation failed: %v", err)
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| log.Printf("Public Key:  %s", keyPair.PublicKey)
 | |
| log.Printf("Private Key: %s", keyPair.PrivateKey)
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Key pair structure
 | |
| type AgeKeyPair struct {
 | |
|     PublicKey  string  // age1... (recipient format)
 | |
|     PrivateKey string  // AGE-SECRET-KEY-1... (identity format)
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Store private key securely
 | |
| // Distribute public key freely
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Single-Role Encryption
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Encrypt content for specific role
 | |
| content := []byte("Sensitive decision data")
 | |
| roleName := "backend_developer"
 | |
| 
 | |
| encrypted, err := ageCrypto.EncryptForRole(content, roleName)
 | |
| if err != nil {
 | |
|     log.Fatalf("Encryption failed: %v", err)
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Encrypted output is Age-formatted ciphertext
 | |
| // Contains: header, recipients, body (ChaCha20-Poly1305)
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Multi-Role Encryption
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Encrypt for multiple roles simultaneously
 | |
| roleNames := []string{
 | |
|     "backend_developer",
 | |
|     "senior_architect",
 | |
|     "devops_engineer",
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| encrypted, err := ageCrypto.EncryptForMultipleRoles(content, roleNames)
 | |
| if err != nil {
 | |
|     log.Fatalf("Multi-role encryption failed: %v", err)
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Age multi-recipient format:
 | |
| // - Single ciphertext body
 | |
| // - Multiple recipient stanzas in header
 | |
| // - Each role can decrypt independently
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Decryption
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Decrypt with current agent's role
 | |
| decrypted, err := ageCrypto.DecryptWithRole(encrypted)
 | |
| if err != nil {
 | |
|     log.Printf("Decryption failed: %v", err)
 | |
|     // Common causes:
 | |
|     // - Content not encrypted for this role
 | |
|     // - Invalid/corrupted ciphertext
 | |
|     // - Missing or invalid private key
 | |
| } else {
 | |
|     log.Printf("Decrypted: %s", string(decrypted))
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Decrypt with specific private key
 | |
| privateKey := "AGE-SECRET-KEY-1QQPQQ..."
 | |
| decrypted, err := ageCrypto.DecryptWithPrivateKey(encrypted, privateKey)
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Permission Checking
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Check if current role can decrypt content from target role
 | |
| targetRole := "backend_developer"
 | |
| canDecrypt, err := ageCrypto.CanDecryptContent(targetRole)
 | |
| 
 | |
| if canDecrypt {
 | |
|     log.Printf("Current role can decrypt content from %s", targetRole)
 | |
| } else {
 | |
|     log.Printf("Access denied: insufficient permissions")
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Get all roles current agent can decrypt
 | |
| decryptableRoles, err := ageCrypto.GetDecryptableRoles()
 | |
| log.Printf("Can decrypt roles: %v", decryptableRoles)
 | |
| // Example output: ["backend_developer", "junior_developer"]
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### UCXL Content Encryption
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Encrypt UCXL content with automatic role resolution
 | |
| creatorRole := "backend_developer"
 | |
| content := []byte("Decision: Implement feature X")
 | |
| 
 | |
| encrypted, err := ageCrypto.EncryptUCXLContent(content, creatorRole)
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Automatically determines roles that should decrypt:
 | |
| // 1. Creator role (backend_developer)
 | |
| // 2. Roles with higher authority (senior_architect, project_manager)
 | |
| // 3. Roles with explicit decrypt permission
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Encryption Flow
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| Content (plaintext)
 | |
|     ↓
 | |
| [Lookup Role Public Keys]
 | |
|     ↓
 | |
| [Create Age Recipients]
 | |
|     ↓
 | |
| [Age Encrypt Operation]
 | |
|   - Generate ephemeral X25519 key
 | |
|   - Perform ECDH with each recipient
 | |
|   - Wrap file key with each shared secret
 | |
|   - Encrypt content with ChaCha20-Poly1305
 | |
|     ↓
 | |
| [Generate Recipient Stanzas]
 | |
|     ↓
 | |
| [Format Age Message]
 | |
|   - "age-encryption.org/v1" header
 | |
|   - Recipient stanzas (one per role)
 | |
|   - MAC
 | |
|   - Encrypted payload
 | |
|     ↓
 | |
| Encrypted Content (Age format)
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Key Validation
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Validate Age private key
 | |
| privateKey := "AGE-SECRET-KEY-1QQPQQ..."
 | |
| err := crypto.ValidateAgeKey(privateKey, true)  // true = private key
 | |
| if err != nil {
 | |
|     log.Printf("Invalid private key: %v", err)
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Validate Age public key
 | |
| publicKey := "age1qqpqqnqqqqsqqqqsqqqqsqqqqsqqq..."
 | |
| err = crypto.ValidateAgeKey(publicKey, false)  // false = public key
 | |
| if err != nil {
 | |
|     log.Printf("Invalid public key: %v", err)
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Validation checks:
 | |
| // - Correct prefix (AGE-SECRET-KEY-1 or age1)
 | |
| // - Valid base64/base32 encoding
 | |
| // - Parseable by Age library
 | |
| // - Correct key length
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### 2. KeyManager - Enterprise Key Management
 | |
| 
 | |
| **File**: `key_manager.go`
 | |
| 
 | |
| Sophisticated key management system with rotation, recovery, and audit capabilities.
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Key Features
 | |
| 
 | |

 | |
| - **Automated Rotation**: Scheduled key rotation with policies
 | |
| - **Emergency Recovery**: Shamir secret sharing for disaster recovery
 | |
| - **Integrity Verification**: Continuous key health monitoring
 | |
| - **Audit Logging**: Comprehensive key lifecycle tracking
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Key Manager Architecture
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| KeyManager
 | |
|     ├── KeyStore (secure storage)
 | |
|     ├── KeyDerivationService (PBKDF2, HKDF)
 | |
|     ├── KeyRotationScheduler (automated rotation)
 | |
|     ├── EmergencyKeyManager (recovery)
 | |
|     └── AuditLogger (compliance)
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Initialization
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Key store interface implementation
 | |
| keyStore := NewSecureKeyStore(storageConfig)
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Audit logger
 | |
| auditLogger := crypto.NewAuditLogger(cfg, auditStorage)
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Create key manager
 | |
| keyManager, err := crypto.NewKeyManager(cfg, keyStore, auditLogger)
 | |
| if err != nil {
 | |
|     log.Fatalf("Failed to initialize key manager: %v", err)
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Starts automatically:
 | |
| // - Key derivation service
 | |
| // - Emergency key manager
 | |
| // - Rotation scheduler
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Generating Role Keys
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Generate key pair for role
 | |
| roleID := "backend_developer"
 | |
| keyType := "age-x25519"
 | |
| 
 | |
| keyPair, err := keyManager.GenerateRoleKey(roleID, keyType)
 | |
| if err != nil {
 | |
|     log.Fatalf("Failed to generate role key: %v", err)
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Generated key includes:
 | |
| type RoleKeyPair struct {
 | |
|     PublicKey      string      // Age public key
 | |
|     PrivateKey     string      // Encrypted Age private key
 | |
|     EncryptionSalt []byte      // Salt for private key encryption
 | |
|     DerivedKeyHash string      // Verification hash
 | |
|     Version        int         // Key version number
 | |
|     CreatedAt      time.Time   // Creation timestamp
 | |
|     RotatedAt      *time.Time  // Last rotation (if any)
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Key is:
 | |
| // 1. Generated using Age
 | |
| // 2. Private key encrypted with derived key
 | |
| // 3. Stored in secure key store
 | |
| // 4. Audit logged
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Key Rotation
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Manual key rotation
 | |
| reason := "scheduled_rotation"
 | |
| result, err := keyManager.RotateKey("backend_developer", reason)
 | |
| if err != nil {
 | |
|     log.Fatalf("Key rotation failed: %v", err)
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Rotation result includes:
 | |
| type KeyRotationResult struct {
 | |
|     Success          bool
 | |
|     RotatedRoles     []string
 | |
|     NewKeys          map[string]*RoleKey
 | |
|     RevokedKeys      map[string]*RoleKey
 | |
|     RotationTime     time.Duration
 | |
|     RotatedAt        time.Time
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| log.Printf("Rotation completed in %v", result.RotationTime)
 | |
| log.Printf("New key version: %d", result.NewKeys["backend_developer"].Version)
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Rotation process:
 | |
| // 1. Generate new key pair
 | |
| // 2. Store new key with incremented version
 | |
| // 3. Mark old key as revoked
 | |
| // 4. Update replication factor
 | |
| // 5. Audit log rotation event
 | |
| // 6. Return rotation result
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Automated Key Rotation
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Define rotation policy
 | |
| policy := &crypto.KeyRotationPolicy{
 | |
|     RotationInterval:  30 * 24 * time.Hour,  // 30 days
 | |
|     MaxKeyAge:         90 * 24 * time.Hour,  // 90 days max
 | |
|     AutoRotate:        true,
 | |
|     GracePeriod:       7 * 24 * time.Hour,   // 7 days grace
 | |
|     RequireQuorum:     true,
 | |
|     MinQuorumSize:     3,
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Schedule automatic rotation
 | |
| err := keyManager.ScheduleKeyRotation("backend_developer", policy)
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Scheduler will:
 | |
| // 1. Track rotation schedule
 | |
| // 2. Execute rotation at intervals
 | |
| // 3. Monitor key age
 | |
| // 4. Send warnings before rotation
 | |
| // 5. Maintain rotation history
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Key Integrity Verification
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Verify key integrity
 | |
| keyID := "backend_developer_age-x25519_v1"
 | |
| verification, err := keyManager.VerifyKeyIntegrity(keyID)
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Verification result
 | |
| type KeyVerificationResult struct {
 | |
|     KeyID         string
 | |
|     VerifiedAt    time.Time
 | |
|     IntegrityOK   bool      // Hash matches
 | |

 | |
| } else {
 | |
|     log.Printf("Key integrity issues: %v", verification.Issues)
 | |
| }
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Security Status
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Get overall security status
 | |
| status := keyManager.GetSecurityStatus()
 | |
| 
 | |
| type KeyManagementSecurityStatus struct {
 | |
|     CheckedAt        time.Time

| #### Emergency Key Recovery
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Create emergency key with recovery shares
 | |
| policy := &crypto.EmergencyPolicy{
 | |
|     RequiredShares:   3,  // Need 3 shares to recover
 | |
|     AuthorizedRoles:  []string{"senior_architect", "security_engineer"},

 | |
|     "age-x25519",
 | |
|     policy,
 | |
| )
 | |

 | |
|     Status           EmergencyKeyStatus
 | |
| }
 | |
|

| ### 3. KeyDerivationService - Key Derivation
 | |
| 
 | |
| **File**: `key_manager.go` (embedded), `key_derivation.go`
 | |
| 
 | |
| Provides hierarchical key derivation using industry-standard algorithms.
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Key Features
 | |
| 
 | |
| - **PBKDF2 Derivation**: Password-based key derivation
 | |
| - **HKDF Derivation**: HMAC-based key derivation function
 | |
| - **Hierarchical Trees**: Parent-child key relationships
 | |
| - **Cluster-Wide Keys**: Shared keys across CHORUS cluster
 | |
| - **Key Caching**: Performance optimization with TTL
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### PBKDF2 Key Derivation
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // PBKDF2 parameters
 | |
| type DerivationParameters struct {
 | |
|     Algorithm        string    // "PBKDF2"
 | |
|     Iterations       int       // 100,000 iterations
 | |
|     KeyLength        int       // 32 bytes
 | |
|     SaltLength       int       // 16 bytes
 | |
|     HashFunction     string    // "SHA256"
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Derive key using PBKDF2
 | |
| derivationPath := "role/backend_developer/age-x25519"
 | |
| derivedKey, err := keyDerivationService.DeriveKey(derivationPath, nil)
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Derived key structure
 | |
| type DerivedKey struct {
 | |
|     KeyID          string
 | |
|     DerivedKey     []byte
 | |
|     Salt           []byte
 | |
|     DerivationPath string
 | |
|     CreatedAt      time.Time
 | |
|     ExpiresAt      time.Time
 | |
|     UsageCount     int
 | |
|     MaxUsage       int
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| // PBKDF2 formula:
 | |
| // DK = PBKDF2(PRF, Password, Salt, Iterations, KeyLength)
 | |
| // where PRF = HMAC-SHA256
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### HKDF Key Derivation
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // HKDF-based key derivation
 | |
| manager := crypto.NewKeyDerivationManager(clusterRootKey, clusterID)
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Derive role-specific keys
 | |
| roleKeys, err := manager.DeriveRoleKeys("backend_developer", "agent001")
 | |
| 
 | |
| type DerivedKeySet struct {
 | |
|     RoleKey      []byte              // Role-level key
 | |
|     NodeKey      []byte              // Node-specific key
 | |
|     AGEIdentity  *age.X25519Identity // Age identity
 | |
|     AGERecipient *age.X25519Recipient // Age recipient
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| // HKDF formula:
 | |
| // 1. Extract: PRK = HKDF-Extract(salt, IKM)
 | |
| // 2. Expand:  OKM = HKDF-Expand(PRK, info, L)
 | |
| // where IKM = cluster root key
 | |
| //       info = derivation path
 | |
| //       L = key length
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Hierarchical Key Derivation
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| Cluster Root Key
 | |
|     ↓
 | |
| [HKDF with info="role-backend_developer"]
 | |
|     ↓
 | |
| Role Key (backend_developer)
 | |
|     ↓
 | |
| [HKDF with info="node-agent001"]
 | |
|     ↓
 | |
| Node Key (agent001)
 | |
|     ↓
 | |
| [Deterministic Age Identity Generation]
 | |
|     ↓
 | |
| Age Identity + Recipient
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Cluster-Wide Key Derivation
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Derive keys shared across entire cluster for a role
 | |
| clusterKeys, err := manager.DeriveClusterWideKeys("backend_developer")
 | |
| 
 | |
| // All nodes in backend_developer role derive same cluster key
 | |
| // Enables cluster-wide content sharing
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Encryption with cluster key
 | |
| encrypted, err := manager.EncryptForRole(content, "backend_developer")
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Any node with same role can decrypt
 | |
| decrypted, err := manager.DecryptForRole(encrypted, "backend_developer", "agent001")
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Key Caching
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Key derivation service includes caching
 | |
| type KeyDerivationService struct {
 | |
|     keyCache        map[string]*DerivedKey
 | |
|     cacheExpiration time.Duration  // 1 hour
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Cache behavior:
 | |
| // 1. Check cache on DeriveKey()
 | |
| // 2. Return cached key if not expired
 | |
| // 3. Derive new key if cache miss
 | |
| // 4. Cache derived key with TTL
 | |
| // 5. Track usage count per key
 | |
| // 6. Rotate when max usage reached
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### 4. Age Encryption Primitives
 | |
| 
 | |
| The package uses Age encryption library primitives:
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### X25519 Key Agreement
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| Age uses Curve25519 for key agreement:
 | |
| 
 | |
| 1. Generate ephemeral X25519 key pair (e_sk, e_pk)
 | |
| 2. For each recipient public key R:
 | |
|    - Compute shared secret: S = ECDH(e_sk, R)
 | |
|    - Derive encryption key: K = HKDF(S)
 | |
|    - Wrap file key: wrapped = ChaCha20-Poly1305(K, file_key)
 | |
| 3. Encrypt content with file_key
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| Content encryption uses ChaCha20-Poly1305:
 | |
| 
 | |
| - Cipher: ChaCha20 stream cipher
 | |
| - MAC: Poly1305 authenticator
 | |
| - Combined as AEAD (Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data)
 | |
| - Provides: confidentiality + integrity + authenticity
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Scrypt Key Derivation
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| Age password-based encryption uses Scrypt:
 | |
| 
 | |
| Parameters:
 | |
| - N: 2^18 (work factor)
 | |
| - r: 8 (block size)
 | |
| - p: 1 (parallelization)
 | |
| 
 | |
| Purpose: Derive encryption key from password
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |

| ### Secure Key Storage
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Keys stored in KeyStore with encryption
 | |
| type SecureKeyData struct {
 | |
|     KeyID            string
 | |
|     KeyType          string
 | |
|     EncryptedKey     []byte       // Private key encrypted at rest
 | |
|     EncryptionMethod string       // "AES-256-GCM"
 | |
|     Salt             []byte       // For key derivation
 | |
|     IV               []byte       // Initialization vector
 | |
|     KeyHash          string       // SHA256 for integrity
 | |
|     Metadata         map[string]interface{}
 | |
|     CreatedAt        time.Time
 | |
|     LastAccessed     time.Time
 | |
|     AccessCount      int
 | |
|     Status           KeyStatus    // active, expired, revoked
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Storage security:
 | |
| // 1. Private keys encrypted at rest
 | |
| // 2. Separate encryption key per stored key
 | |
| // 3. Integrity hash for tamper detection
 | |
| // 4. Access tracking for audit
 | |
| // 5. Status management (revocation)
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Security Considerations
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Cryptographic Security
 | |
| 
 | |
| 1. **Age Encryption Security**:
 | |
|    - X25519: 128-bit security level
 | |
|    - ChaCha20-Poly1305: Authenticated encryption
 | |
|    - Scrypt: Memory-hard key derivation
 | |
|    - No known vulnerabilities in Age protocol
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2. **Key Generation**:
 | |
|    - Uses crypto/rand for randomness
 | |
|    - No predictable patterns
 | |
|    - Sufficient entropy (256 bits)
 | |
| 
 | |
| 3. **Key Storage**:
 | |
|    - Private keys encrypted at rest
 | |
|    - AES-256-GCM for storage encryption
 | |
|    - Separate KEK (Key Encryption Key)
 | |
|    - Integrity verification with SHA256
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Operational Security
 | |
| 
 | |
| 1. **Key Rotation**:
 | |
|    - Automated rotation schedules
 | |
|    - Grace periods for transition
 | |
|    - Old keys retained for decryption
 | |
|    - Audit trail of all rotations
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2. **Access Control**:
 | |
|    - Role-based permissions
 | |
|    - Authority hierarchy
 | |
|    - Audit logging required
 | |
|    - Permission verification before operations
 | |
| 
 | |
| 3. **Emergency Procedures**:
 | |
|    - Shamir secret sharing for recovery
 | |
|    - Multiple custodians required
 | |
|    - Time-limited emergency access
 | |
|    - Full audit trail
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Threat Mitigation
 | |
| 
 | |
| | Threat | Mitigation |
 | |
| |--------|-----------|
 | |
| | Key compromise | Automated rotation, revocation procedures |
 | |
| | Unauthorized access | Role-based encryption, permission checks |
 | |
| | Data exfiltration | Content encrypted before storage |
 | |
| | Insider threats | Audit logging, access controls |
 | |
| | Key loss | Backups, emergency recovery shares |
 | |
| | Replay attacks | Nonces in Age protocol |
 | |
| | Tampering | Poly1305 MAC verification |
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Performance Characteristics
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Encryption Performance
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| Operation: Encrypt 1KB content
 | |
| Time: ~0.5ms
 | |
| Operations/sec: ~2000
 | |
| 
 | |
| Operation: Decrypt 1KB content
 | |
| Time: ~0.3ms
 | |
| Operations/sec: ~3300
 | |
| 
 | |
| Operation: Generate key pair
 | |
| Time: ~1ms
 | |
| Operations/sec: ~1000
 | |
| 
 | |
| Operation: Key derivation (PBKDF2, 100k iterations)
 | |
| Time: ~50ms
 | |
| Operations/sec: ~20
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Scalability
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| Concurrent encryptions: 10,000+ ops/sec
 | |
| Cached key derivations: 1,000,000+ ops/sec
 | |
| Multi-recipient overhead: ~0.1ms per recipient
 | |
| Storage encryption: ~2ms per key
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Optimization Techniques
 | |
| 
 | |
| 1. **Key Caching**:
 | |
|    ```go
 | |
|    // Cache derived keys for 1 hour
 | |
|    // Reduces PBKDF2 overhead by 99%
 | |
|    cache TTL: 1 hour
 | |
|    cache hit rate: >95%
 | |
|    ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2. **Batch Operations**:
 | |
|    ```go
 | |
|    // Batch encrypt multiple contents
 | |
|    // Amortize setup costs
 | |
|    ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| 3. **Recipient Pooling**:
 | |
|    ```go
 | |
|    // Reuse recipient objects
 | |
|    // Avoid repeated parsing
 | |
|    ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Integration Examples
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Integration with DHT Storage
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // DHT storage uses crypto package
 | |
| import (
 | |
|     "chorus/pkg/crypto"
 | |
|     "chorus/pkg/dht"
 | |
| )
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Create crypto instance
 | |
| ageCrypto := crypto.NewAgeCrypto(config)
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Create DHT storage with encryption
 | |
| storage := dht.NewEncryptedDHTStorage(
 | |
|     ctx,
 | |
|     host,
 | |
|     libp2pDHT,
 | |
|     config,
 | |
|     nodeID,
 | |
| )
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Storage automatically:
 | |
| // 1. Validates UCXL addresses
 | |
| // 2. Encrypts content with ageCrypto
 | |
| // 3. Stores encrypted data in DHT
 | |
| // 4. Caches for performance
 | |
| // 5. Audit logs all operations
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Integration with UCXL
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // UCXL content publisher uses crypto
 | |
| import (
 | |
|     "chorus/pkg/crypto"
 | |
|     "chorus/pkg/ucxl"
 | |
| )
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Publish encrypted decision
 | |
| publisher := ucxl.NewDecisionPublisher(config, ageCrypto, storage)
 | |
| 
 | |
| decision := &ucxl.Decision{
 | |
|     Summary: "Implement feature X",
 | |
|     Rationale: "Based on user feedback",
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Automatically encrypted for appropriate roles
 | |
| err := publisher.PublishDecision(ctx, decision)
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Testing
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Unit Tests
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| # Run crypto tests
 | |
| go test ./pkg/crypto/...
 | |
| 
 | |
| # Run with coverage
 | |
| go test -cover ./pkg/crypto/...
 | |
| 
 | |
| # Run specific test
 | |
| go test ./pkg/crypto/ -run TestAgeEncryption
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Security Tests
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| # Security-specific tests
 | |
| go test ./pkg/crypto/ -run TestSecurity
 | |
| 
 | |
| # Key rotation tests
 | |
| go test ./pkg/crypto/ -run TestKeyRotation
 | |
| 
 | |
| # Permission tests
 | |
| go test ./pkg/crypto/ -run TestPermissions
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Test Encryption
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Test Age encryption round-trip
 | |
| func TestAgeEncryption() error {
 | |
|     keyPair, err := crypto.GenerateAgeKeyPair()
 | |
|     if err != nil {
 | |
|         return err
 | |
|     }
 | |
| 
 | |
|     testContent := []byte("Test content for encryption")
 | |
| 
 | |
|     // Encrypt
 | |
|     recipient, _ := crypto.ParseAgeRecipient(keyPair.PublicKey)
 | |
|     encrypted, err := encryptWithAge(testContent, recipient)
 | |
| 
 | |
|     // Decrypt
 | |
|     identity, _ := crypto.ParseAgeIdentity(keyPair.PrivateKey)
 | |
|     decrypted, err := decryptWithAge(encrypted, identity)
 | |
| 
 | |
|     // Verify
 | |
|     if !bytes.Equal(testContent, decrypted) {
 | |
|         return errors.New("content mismatch")
 | |
|     }
 | |
| 
 | |
|     return nil
 | |
| }
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Best Practices
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### 1. Key Generation
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Always generate keys with crypto/rand
 | |
| keyPair, err := crypto.GenerateAgeKeyPair()
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Never hardcode keys
 | |
| // Never use predictable seeds
 | |
| // Always validate generated keys
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### 2. Key Storage
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Store private keys encrypted
 | |
| // Use separate KEK (Key Encryption Key)
 | |
| // Implement key rotation
 | |
| // Maintain audit trail
 | |
| // Regular integrity verification
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### 3. Encryption Operations
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Always encrypt for multiple recipients when possible
 | |
| roleNames := []string{"backend_developer", "senior_architect"}
 | |
| encrypted, err := ageCrypto.EncryptForMultipleRoles(content, roleNames)
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Check permissions before decryption
 | |
| canDecrypt, err := ageCrypto.CanDecryptContent(targetRole)
 | |
| if !canDecrypt {
 | |
|     return errors.New("insufficient permissions")
 | |
| }
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### 4. Key Rotation
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Implement automated rotation
 | |
| policy := &crypto.KeyRotationPolicy{
 | |
|     RotationInterval: 30 * 24 * time.Hour,
 | |
|     AutoRotate:       true,
 | |
|     GracePeriod:      7 * 24 * time.Hour,
 | |
| }
 | |
| 
 | |
| // Monitor rotation status
 | |
| // Maintain old keys during grace period
 | |
| // Test rotation procedures regularly
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### 5. Error Handling
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```go
 | |
| // Handle encryption errors gracefully
 | |
| encrypted, err := ageCrypto.EncryptForRole(content, role)
 | |
| if err != nil {
 | |
|     // Log error details (but not content!)
 | |
|     log.Printf("Encryption failed for role %s: %v", role, err)
 | |
| 
 | |
|     // Don't expose sensitive information in errors
 | |
|     return errors.New("encryption failed")
 | |
| }
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Troubleshooting
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Invalid Key Format
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| Problem: "Invalid Age key format"
 | |
| Cause: Key doesn't match Age format
 | |
| Solutions:
 | |
|   - Verify key prefix (AGE-SECRET-KEY-1 or age1)
 | |
|   - Check for truncation/corruption
 | |
|   - Regenerate key if necessary
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Decryption Failed
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| Problem: "Failed to decrypt content"
 | |
| Causes:
 | |
|   - Content not encrypted for this role
 | |
|   - Corrupted ciphertext
 | |
|   - Wrong private key
 | |
|   - Key rotation without re-encryption
 | |
| 
 | |
| Solutions:
 | |
|   - Verify role permissions
 | |
|   - Check key version matches
 | |
|   - Validate ciphertext integrity
 | |
|   - Re-encrypt content if needed
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Key Rotation Issues
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| Problem: Rotation fails or causes access issues
 | |
| Causes:
 | |
|   - In-flight operations during rotation
 | |
|   - Grace period too short
 | |
|   - Missing old key versions
 | |
| 
 | |
| Solutions:
 | |
|   - Coordinate rotation timing
 | |
|   - Extend grace period
 | |
|   - Maintain key history
 | |
|   - Test rotation in staging
 | |
| ```
