🌑 Vantablack Cryptographic Vault

Vantablack is an industrial-grade file encryption tool designed for high-privacy data management. It replaces traditional passwords with a Physical Token system.

The security of the vault is tied to a specific image and a physical USB drive. Without both, the data remains an impenetrable "black hole."

🛠 Technical Architecture

Vantablack operates on a three-layer security model:

1. Optic Engine: Processes a high-entropy image to generate a 512-bit hash via SHA-512.
2. Physical Token: The generated hash is "forged" onto a USB drive as a hidden binary file (.vanta).
3. Vault Processor: Utilizes AES-256 (CBC Mode) with PKCS5 Padding for file-stream encryption.

🚀 Features

• No Passwords: No strings to remember or for keyloggers to steal.
• Drop-Zone Workflow: Simply place files in the VantaVault folder to protect them.
• Auto-Cleanup: Encrypted files are automatically wiped upon successful restoration to the vault.
• RAM Hardening: All cryptographic keys are zeroed out (Arrays.fill) immediately after use to prevent memory dumping attacks.
• Silent Operation: Automatic USB detection bypasses manual file selection for daily use.
