Why Strict "Zero Trust" Breaks Secret Management (And How We Built a Zero-Persistence Vault Instead)

Short summary

Strict end-to-end encryption breaks enterprise secret management because it prevents centralized RBAC and automated onboarding. Ennote built a hybrid cryptography architecture using AES-256-GCM payload encryption with post-quantum Kyber-1024 key distribution, ensuring zero persistence of plaintext keys through volatile memory and Confidential Computing. This achieves sub-1-second Kubernetes secret syncing with full central access control.

• •Strict E2EE fundamentally breaks automated RBAC and onboarding workflows in enterprise secret management
• •Hybrid cryptography combines symmetric (AES-256-GCM) and asymmetric (Kyber-1024) encryption with zero persistence in volatile memory
• •Post-quantum crypto plus Confidential Computing hardware isolation enables real-time Kubernetes secret syncing without plaintext exposure
