Security Guide

Understanding DragBin's security architecture and how we protect your data.

Zero-Knowledge Architecture

DragBin's zero-knowledge architecture ensures that we have no knowledge of your data or encryption keys. This means that even if someone gained access to our servers, your files would remain encrypted and unreadable.

What We Cannot See

  • Your file contents - all files are encrypted before they reach our servers
  • Your file names - even metadata is encrypted
  • Your encryption keys - generated and stored only on your devices
  • Your passwords - we only store cryptographic hashes

Encryption Methods

DragBin uses multiple layers of encryption to protect your data at every step.

AES-256-GCM Encryption

All file data is encrypted using AES-256-GCM, the gold standard for symmetric encryption.

  • • 256-bit encryption keys provide military-grade security
  • • GCM mode provides both confidentiality and authenticity
  • • Each file gets a unique encryption key

Kyber Key Encapsulation

We use Kyber, a quantum-resistant key encapsulation mechanism, for secure key exchange.

  • • Post-quantum cryptography standard
  • • Resistant to attacks from quantum computers
  • • Used for sharing files securely with others

Argon2 Key Derivation

Your encryption keys are derived from your password using Argon2, the winner of the Password Hashing Competition.

  • • Memory-hard function resistant to hardware attacks
  • • Configurable time and memory costs
  • • Salt-based to prevent rainbow table attacks

How Encryption Works

Here's what happens when you upload a file to DragBin:

  1. 1
    Client-Side Encryption: Your file is encrypted on your device using a randomly generated AES-256 key
  2. 2
    Key Protection: The encryption key is encrypted using keys derived from your password
  3. 3
    Secure Upload: Only the encrypted file and encrypted key are transmitted to our servers
  4. 4
    Server Storage: We store the encrypted data without any ability to decrypt it

Security Best Practices

To maximize your security when using DragBin:

  • Use a strong, unique password: Your password is the foundation of your security
  • Enable two-factor authentication: Add an extra layer of protection to your account
  • Keep your apps updated: Always use the latest version of DragBin apps
  • Review sharing permissions: Regularly audit who has access to your files
  • Use secure networks: Avoid public Wi-Fi for sensitive file operations

Frequently Asked Questions

Can DragBin employees access my files?

No. Due to our zero-knowledge architecture, DragBin employees cannot access your files, even for support purposes. All files are encrypted with keys that only you possess.

What happens if I forget my password?

Unfortunately, we cannot recover your files if you forget your password, as we don't have access to your encryption keys. We recommend setting up recovery options and using a password manager.

How does quantum-resistant encryption work?

We use post-quantum cryptographic algorithms like Kyber that are designed to be secure against both classical and quantum computer attacks, future-proofing your data.
