Step by Step
How Data Flows Through the HyperSphere Engine
A gateway that sits between your applications and object storage, providing transparent encryption without persistent key storage.
Step 1
Application Integration
Your applications connect to the SecureStorage Gateway using standard S3-compatible protocols. No code changes required—just point your AWS CLI, SDK, or application to the gateway endpoint.
- Protocol: S3-Compatible API
- Integration Time: Hours, not months
- Code Changes: Zero required
Step 2
Per-Object Seed Generation
For each object written, the HyperSphere Engine generates a unique cryptographic seed. This seed is the foundation for the entire encryption process—but critically, it contains no "key to the kingdom."
- Uniqueness: One seed per object
- Storage: Stored as metadata
- Security: No plaintext keys
Step 3
Stream Framing + Quantum-Resilient Keying
The S3 file stream is split into fixed-sized frames. For each frame, the engine computes per-frame encryption keys and unique filenames using cryptographic operations. Each frame uses a unique key—and critically, these keys are never stored.
- Frame Size: Fixed-size chunks
- Encryption: AES-256-GCM per frame
- Key Storage: Keys NOT stored
Step 4
Distributed Storage
Encrypted frames are stored across multiple S3-compatible storage targets—AWS, Azure, MinIO, Wasabi, or your own infrastructure. Each target stores only encrypted frames without metadata revealing the original structure.
- Storage Targets: Multiple cloud/on-prem
- Metadata: Never stored with frames
- Visibility: Only encrypted frames visible
Step 5
Quorum-Based Reconstruction
When authorized applications request data, the gateway unlocks using a quorum-based mechanism. The gateway root secret is reconstructed, gateway keys are derived, and only then can frames be decrypted and reassembled. Without proper quorum authorization, stolen frames remain permanently unusable.
- Authorization: Quorum-based unlock
- Reconstruction: Dynamic key derivation
- Result: Seamless data access
Core Capabilities
What Makes SecureStorage Different
Zero Key Storage
Encryption keys are computed on-demand from cryptographic seeds and quorum material. No keys persist in storage—eliminating the #1 attack vector in traditional encryption.
Quantum-Resilient Keying
Per-frame unique keys generated using quantum-resistant cryptographic primitives. Even future quantum computers cannot reconstruct encryption keys from stored data.
Quorum-Based Access
Data reconstruction requires proper authorization and quorum threshold. Compromised credentials alone cannot decrypt stored frames—architectural immunity, not just detection.
Performance at Scale
Stream-based encryption with <1% performance overhead. Handles high-throughput workloads without sacrificing security or requiring specialized hardware.
Multi-Cloud Native
Deploy across AWS, Azure, GCP, on-premise, or edge environments. True data sovereignty without vendor lock-in or complex multi-cloud key management.
Automatic Resilience
Self-healing architecture automatically restores corrupted or compromised data to last known good state. Ransomware and corruption become operational nuisances, not disasters.
