The Vault Protocol
A peer-to-peer, zero-knowledge communication terminal designed for high-integrity data transfer and encrypted messaging without intermediary surveillance.
The_Problem
Traditional communication platforms rely on centralized servers that act as "middle-men". These servers can be compromised, censored, or leveraged for data harvesting. Even with "End-to-End Encryption" (E2EE), metadata like IP addresses, timestamps, and relationship maps are stored on central databases, creating a permanent digital footprint.
The_Solution
Vault eliminates the middle-man. By utilizing **WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication)**, data is streamed directly between browser nodes. There is no central server storage for your messages or files. The app functions as a temporary signaling bridge that disappears once the P2P link is established, ensuring true ephemeral and private communication.

System_Architecture
Signal_Handshake
Nodes connect to a transient signaling server to exchange SDP (Session Description Protocol) and ICE candidates. This is the only time a server is involved.
P2P_Negotiation
The signaling server facilitates the initial "hello". Once NAT traversal is complete, the nodes attempt a direct connection via STUN/TURN protocols.
Encrypted_Stream
Data channels are established. All messages, files, and audio are encrypted via DTLS/SRTP before transmission, bypassing all infrastructure.

Encryption bridges are temporary. Ensure your peer is ready for the synchronization.
