• Secure key generation and management
• Support for multiple encryption algorithms
• Initialization vector (IV) handling

🔑 Authentication

• JWT-based authentication
• OAuth2 integration
• Refresh token support
• Argon2id password hashing
• Multi-factor authentication support

👥 Authorization

• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
• Permission-based authorization
• Token-based session management
• Fine-grained access control

🛡️ Security Features

• Rate limiting protection
• CORS configuration
• Helmet security headers
• Input validation and sanitization
• Protection against common attacks (XSS, CSRF, etc.)

📝 Logging and Monitoring

• Comprehensive security logging
• Winston-based logging system
• Error tracking and monitoring
• Audit trails

🌐 Multi-Language Support

VaultX can be used with any programming language through its REST API interface. Here are some examples:

Python

import requests

def encrypt_data(data):
    response = requests.post('http://localhost:3000/crypto/encrypt', json={
        'data': data,
        'algorithm': 'aes-256-gcm'
    })
    return response.json()

Java

import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.entity.StringEntity;

public class VaultXClient {
    public String authenticate(String username, String password) {
        HttpPost request = new HttpPost("http://localhost:3000/auth/login");
        // Add authentication logic
    }
}

PHP

<?php
function encryptData($data) {
    $ch = curl_init('http://localhost:3000/crypto/encrypt');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode(['data' => $data]));
    $response = curl_exec($ch);
    return json_decode($response, true);
}
