Final Check

How do we prevent data bleach?

Goal

User owns the logs they record, so they are the ones who can view these. Final Check must ensure that only the owning user can access the logs.

Solution

Encrypt logs using the user's provided credentials

Design

  • When user signsup, create a public-private keypair.
  • Encript the private key using user's login password(this is the only information known solely by the user)
  • Save both encripted private key and public key in db.
  • When Final Check System receives a log, it encrypts it using the public key then saves it.
  • When user logs into the frontend UI, Final Check system uses their password to decrypt private key,
    • Then in turn it uses this private key to decrypt logs.
    • It performs all analysis required, then respond to the user.
