Zero-Knowledge Encryption
Zero-knowledge encryption is a data protection architecture where the service provider has no ability to access, read, or decrypt user data. Encryption and decryption occur exclusively on the client device using keys derived from a user-managed passphrase. Even if the server infrastructure is compromised, encrypted data remains unreadable without the user's passphrase. Zero-knowledge encryption is the gold standard for protecting sensitive investigation notes, attorney-client privileged materials, and classified intelligence data.
