Security Architecture
Learn how SovSeal protects your digital assets with institutional-grade security measures.
Security Architecture
Security is not a feature of SovSeal — it is the foundation. We employ multiple layers of protection to ensure your digital legacy remains private, secure, and accessible only under your terms.
SovSeal was designed with a core principle: we should never be able to access your data, even if we wanted to.
Security Overview
Our security architecture rests on four foundational pillars:
Encryption
AES-256 end-to-end encryption with user-controlled keys
Zero-Knowledge Architecture
We cannot access your data — by design
Data Permanence
Your assets survive because the infrastructure does
Authentication
Multi-factor verification for you and your heirs
Transparent Technology Stack
We believe institutional security requires absolute transparency about the infrastructure we use. We do not hide behind proprietary black boxes.
| Layer | Technology | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Consensus | Base Mainnet (L2) | Orchestrates the protocol logic and payments. |
| Identity | Privy | Manages embedded wallets and Passkey isolation. |
| Storage | Arweave | Guarantees 200-year data permanence. |
| Encryption | AES-256-GCM | Ensures Zero-Knowledge privacy. |
The SovSeal Guarantee
We do not just "promise" security. We back it with our balance sheet.
"If our Zero-Knowledge architecture fails and allows unauthorized access to your vault due to a vulnerability in our code, we will make your estate whole."
Terms and conditions apply. This guarantee covers technical failure of the SovSeal protocol, not user error (lost keys) or social engineering.
Our Security Commitments
