## 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

- **Hierarchical Key Derivation**: PBKDF2-based key trees
- **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
    FormatOK      bool      // Key format valid
    UsabilityOK   bool      // Can encrypt/decrypt
    OverallResult string    // "passed" or "failed"
    Issues        []string  // List of issues found
}

if verification.OverallResult == "passed" {
    log.Printf("Key integrity verified: %s", keyID)
} 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
    OverallHealth    string    // healthy, warning, degraded, critical
    ActiveKeys       int
    ExpiredKeys      int
    RevokedKeys      int
    PendingRotations int
    SecurityScore    float64   // 0.0 to 1.0
    Issues           []string
    Recommendations  []string
}

log.Printf("Security Status: %s (score: %.2f)",
    status.OverallHealth, status.SecurityScore)

if len(status.Issues) > 0 {
    log.Printf("Issues found:")
    for _, issue := range status.Issues {
        log.Printf("  - %s", issue)
    }
}

if len(status.Recommendations) > 0 {
    log.Printf("Recommendations:")
    for _, rec := range status.Recommendations {
        log.Printf("  - %s", rec)
    }
}
```

#### 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"},
    ApprovalRequired: true,
    Approvers:        []string{"admin1", "admin2", "admin3"},
    MaxUsageDuration: 1 * time.Hour,
}

emergencyKey, err := emergencyKeyManager.CreateEmergencyKey(
    "age-x25519",
    policy,
)

// Emergency key includes:
type EmergencyKey struct {
    KeyID            string
    KeyType          string
    EncryptedKey     []byte
    RecoveryShares   []*RecoveryShare  // Shamir shares
    ActivationPolicy *EmergencyPolicy
    CreatedAt        time.Time
    Status           EmergencyKeyStatus
}

// Distribute recovery shares to custodians
for i, share := range emergencyKey.RecoveryShares {
    custodian := policy.Approvers[i]
    distributeShare(custodian, share)
}
```

#### Key Backup and Restore

```go
// Create key backup
criteria := &crypto.BackupCriteria{
    IncludeRoles:     []string{"backend_developer", "frontend_developer"},
    MinSecurityLevel: security.AccessMedium,
    IncludeExpired:   false,
    EncryptionKey:    backupEncryptionKey,
}

backup, err := keyManager.BackupKeys(criteria)

// Backup structure
type KeyBackup struct {
    BackupID      string
    CreatedAt     time.Time
    CreatedBy     string
    EncryptedData []byte
    KeyCount      int
    Checksum      string
    Metadata      map[string]interface{}
}

// Store backup securely
storeBackup(backup)

// Restore from backup
err = keyManager.RestoreKeys(backup)
```

### 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
```

## Key Format and Storage

### Age Key Formats

  - "-> X25519 <recipient_key_share>"
- "---" separator
- MAC (message authentication code)

Body:
- ChaCha20-Poly1305 encrypted payload
- Base64 encoded
```

### 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
```
