A password manager built with Rust prioritizing security, speed, and reliability.
Rust is known for its memory safety and high performance. Its focus on safety without sacrificing performance makes it an excellent choice for developing a secure password manager. Additionally, Rust can be compiled to WebAssembly, allowing for cross-platform compatibility.
Some of the notable apps that use Rust
- Dropbox: Dropbox has developed a high-performance network storage system called "Magic Pocket" using Rust.
- Microsoft Azure: Microsoft has used Rust to develop a number of components of their cloud computing platform, including the networking stack and the Project Verona research project.
- Cloudflare: Cloudflare uses Rust to build components of their edge computing infrastructure, such as their L7 router and WebAssembly-based serverless platform.
- Figma: Figma, the collaborative design platform, uses Rust for its rendering engine.
- Discord: Discord uses Rust for a number of performance-critical components, including audio processing and video encoding.
- Red Hat: Red Hat has developed a number of tools in Rust, including the Stratis storage management system and the Podman container engine.
- Mozilla: Rust was originally developed by Mozilla and is used extensively in their Firefox browser, as well as other projects such as the Servo browser engine.
Vaultify impolements a "vault" methodology.
- Creates a Vault Key with
hash(email + password) - Creates Authentication Key with
hash(vault key + password)
-
The Vault Key is used to both encrypt/decrypt the vault
-
The vault stores all the stored logins & passwords
-
Authentication Key is used to request your vault from the server
The server shouldn't know the password or the Vault Key. This is a principle known as "zero-knowledge" and is a cornerstone of secure password managers.
All the server knows is the user's email and authenticaiton key.
Therefore, even in the case of the server being hacked, only the user themselves will be able to get into the vault.
