@suaveplan/crypto-vault - Cryptographic foundation for the Vaulted password-manager ecosystem: BIP39 mnemonics, Argon2id-based HD key derivation, two-secret key derivation (2SKD), SRP-6a authentication, hierarchical key tree (AUK -> personal keyset -> vault key -> item key), and SecureBuffer with eager zeroization.

Summary

Cryptographic foundation for the Vaulted password-manager ecosystem. Provides BIP39 mnemonic generation, OWASP-grade Argon2id derivation, two-secret key derivation (2SKD: password + Secret Key + email → AUK), SRP-6a authentication primitives, and a hierarchical key tree (AUK → personal keyset → vault key → item key) — all held in SecureBuffer instances that zeroize on lock.

Quick start

    deriveAuk,
    deriveItemKey,
    derivePersonalKeyset,
    deriveVaultKey,
    generateMnemonic,
    SecureBuffer,
    SrpClient,
    zeroizeAll,
} from "@suaveplan/crypto-vault";

// 1. Generate a backup phrase.
const mnemonic = generateMnemonic(128);

// 2. Derive the AUK from the user's secrets.
const salt = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(16));
const auk = await deriveAuk(
    "correct horse battery staple",
    "A3-7PMW82-XJZS9-NQDLV-EYKBR",
    "alice@example.com",
    salt,
    DEFAULT_ARGON2ID_PARAMS
);

// 3. Fan out into the hierarchy.
const personal = derivePersonalKeyset(auk);
const vaultKey = deriveVaultKey(personal, "vault-1");
const itemKey = deriveItemKey(vaultKey, "login-bank");

// 4. Authenticate via SRP-6a.
const client = new SrpClient();
const x = client.derivePrivateKey("alice@example.com", "pw", salt);
const v = client.deriveVerifier(x);

// 5. Lock — sweep every live SecureBuffer.
const wrapped = new SecureBuffer(itemKey);

handle/ — OpaqueKeyHandle for the vault layer to hold key references without seeing raw bytes.
errors/codes — frozen error-code registry.
errors/crypto-vault-error — CryptoVaultError umbrella class.
schemas/ — Zod schemas for every public shape (Argon2idParams, PersonalKeyset, etc.).
types/ — shared types (Argon2idParams, Auk, PersonalKeyset, …).
otel/ — lazy OpenTelemetry instrument set.

Security model

Plaintext key material lives only inside SecureBuffer instances; the buffers' toString and toJSON mask the bytes.
zeroizeAll() walks every reachable SecureBuffer via a WeakRef registry and overwrites its bytes with zeros.
Argon2id parameters below the OWASP minimums (memoryKB ≥ 64 MiB, iterations ≥ 3, parallelism ≥ 1) are rejected at runtime.
All MAC / proof comparisons are constant-time (@suaveplan/crypto-utils's constantTimeEqual).
SRP-6a uses SHA-256 over the RFC 5054 2048-bit safe-prime group with full server-proof verification.
