Architecture

From client app to cryptographic custody.

Trace a single transaction as it leaves your application and travels into EpositBox — and see the security layers that distinguish us from a standard vault.

The journey

Eight layers, one continuous flow

Follow a transaction across client, network, server, and ledger zones. Hover any node to read the technical detail.

  1. Stage 01

    BYOK message-level encryption

    Customer-held keys never leave the client. Payloads are encrypted before they hit the wire — EpositBox cannot decrypt without the customer key. You retain cryptographic sovereignty end-to-end.

  2. Stage 02

    P2P VPN to service endpoint

    Mutual peer authentication establishes a dedicated tunnel directly to the EpositBox service endpoint, removing exposure to public routing, DNS surfaces, and opportunistic interception.

  3. Stage 03

    TLS 1.2+ in transit

    Defense-in-depth: even inside the private tunnel, every byte rides authenticated TLS with strong cipher suites and certificate pinning at the edge.

  4. Stage 04

    Envelope & schema validation

    Strict envelope verification plus tenant schema validation rejects malformed or off-policy payloads at the door. Nothing reaches the ledger that hasn't passed contract checks.

  5. Stage 05

    Smart-contract submission

    Each write is expressed through smart contracts whose operations are pre-vetted and governed. There is no ad-hoc database write path — only the operations the network has sanctioned.

  6. Stage 06

    Peer voting & consensus

    Private blockchain consensus: independent peers validate and vote on every transaction. No single node — including ours — can rewrite history or commit a write unilaterally.

  7. Stage 07

    Quantum-grade block encryption

    Post-quantum-grade primitives encrypt each committed block, bound to the customer identity. Recovery requires the customer's keys — durability without surrendering control.

  8. Stage 08

    Cryptographic provenance & governance

    Full chain of custody: signatures, attestations, and an immutable audit trail give a cryptographic guarantee of who changed what, when, and under which policy.

The difference

Why this isn't a standard vault

Most data vaults ask you to trust the operator. EpositBox is engineered so you don't have to.

Standard vault

Trust the operator

  • Server-side encryption — custodian holds the keys
  • Single point of trust; mutable storage
  • Trust-the-operator audit trail
  • Classical cryptography; opaque recovery model

EpositBox

Trust the math

  • Client-held BYOK; operator can never decrypt
  • Peer-consensus writes on a private blockchain
  • Cryptographic provenance — verifiable end-to-end
  • Quantum-grade block encryption bound to client identity
