Strip Fury back to its vault functionality in one `vault` command: genkey, init, add (file or directory, optional folder inside the vault), list, get, mv and rm. The hybrid FrodoKEM-640 + ML-KEM-768 encryption core is kept under internal/pqcrypt. Signing, policies, profiles, backups, SSH remotes, FIDO2, agents, provenance and compression are removed.
vault
A post-quantum encrypted file vault in a single binary.
Files are encrypted with a hybrid FrodoKEM-640 + ML-KEM-768 key encapsulation and ChaCha20-Poly1305. The vault directory holds only randomly named ciphertexts. Names, sizes, modes and timestamps live inside encrypted catalogue records of one fixed size. File bodies are padded to power-of-two buckets.
Build
go build . # produces ./vault
go test ./...
Use
vault genkey # create ~/.vault/key, protected by a passphrase
vault init # create ~/.vault/store
vault add report.pdf # stored as report.pdf
vault add report.pdf work/2026 # stored as work/2026/report.pdf
vault add ./photos # every regular file under photos/
vault list # everything
vault list work # everything under work/
vault get work/2026/report.pdf # writes ./report.pdf
vault get report.pdf -o copy.pdf
vault mv report.pdf old/report.pdf
vault rm old/report.pdf
Adding a name that already exists replaces it. get refuses to overwrite an
existing file and writes nothing until the whole object has authenticated.
--key PATH and --vault DIR work with every command. They default to
$VAULT_KEY and $VAULT_DIR, then to ~/.vault/key and ~/.vault/store.
The passphrase is read from the terminal, or from $VAULT_PASSPHRASE for
scripts.
Limits
- One writer at a time. Concurrent writes to the same vault are not locked.
- The storage host can see how many files exist, their size buckets and when the vault changes.
- The key file is the only way in. Losing it or its passphrase loses the data.
