Making Data Invisible to Unauthorized Actors
The world's first database architecture where unauthorized data discovery isn't just difficult—it's mathematically impossible.
The Hidden Vulnerability in Every Database
Every database ever built shares a fundamental flaw: data exists at discoverable locations. Whether it's a row ID, a file path, or a memory address—if data has a findable location, it can be found by those who shouldn't find it.
Traditional security relies on credentials and access controls—digital "locks" protecting physical locations. But hackers have consistently proven adept at picking these locks, exploiting vulnerabilities, and gaining unauthorized access.
This creates an endless "cat and mouse" game where security teams continually upgrade defenses while attackers develop new methods to bypass them. The fundamental problem remains: as long as data exists somewhere findable, it remains vulnerable.
Entrelid: A Revolutionary Approach to Data Security
From Physical to Cryptographic
Entrelid transforms data storage from a physical function to a cryptographic function. There is no physical location or address to find—only a logical location with no physical location to navigate to.
Mathematically Provable
For the first time, unauthorized data discovery isn't just difficult or illegal—it's mathematically impossible, with security guarantees that can be cryptographically proven.
Beyond Traditional Security
Unlike conventional approaches that layer security on top of databases, Entrelid builds security into the very fabric of data storage itself.
The Bank Vault That Doesn't Exist Until You Arrive
Imagine a bank vault that works differently than any vault ever built. Instead of sitting in a building with thick walls and complex locks, this vault doesn't exist anywhere until three separate key holders arrive simultaneously.
WHO
One key holder proves exactly who they are through cryptographic validation
WHAT
Another proves they have relationship-specific permission to access particular items
WHERE
The third provides the mathematical formula that causes the vault to materialize
Without all three keys, there is no vault to find, no door to break, no walls to breach. The valuables aren't hidden—they literally don't exist until all three factors align. This isn't science fiction. It's how Entrelid protects data today.
The Three Pillars of Resource Context Security
In the intersection of these three pillars, your data exists. Outside of them, only cryptographic void.
This revolutionary architecture means your data doesn't just have better locks—it has no findable location outside of its proper security context. For unauthorized users, your data doesn't merely appear encrypted—it's completely invisible.
From Database to Cryptographic Vault
Traditional databases store data at discoverable locations, then layer on access controls. Entrelid eliminates discoverability entirely. Each piece of data resides at a crypto-graphically computed (using Entity, RDID, Resource Context) logical address that is retrievable only when all three security factors align.
Think of it as the difference between a locked filing cabinet (traditional) and a document that only materializes when three separate keys are turned simultaneously (Entrelid).
This isn't just incremental improvement—it's a paradigm shift in how data security works at the most fundamental level.
The Mathematics of Invisibility
With 2^128 possible storage addresses, even checking one billion locations per second would require more time than the universe has existed. But this isn't security through obscurity—it's security through cryptographic certainty.
Each document's logical location (storage key) is the output of multiple rounds of one-way hashing functions. Reverse engineering is mathematically impossible, not just computationally difficult.
This revolutionary approach means that even with unlimited computing power, attackers can't find your data without possessing all three required security factors.
Complete Database Theft = Zero Data Access
Theft-Proof By Design
In the nightmare scenario of total database compromise, attackers get nothing. Without the precise inputs to the address derivation algorithm, they face a keyspace so vast that the sun would burn out before they found a single document through brute force.
Quantum-Resistant Encryption
Even if attackers could somehow locate a document, it remains encrypted with entity-specific quantum-resistant AES256 encryption. Your stolen data becomes a mathematical ghost—impossible to find, impossible to read.
This isn't just better security. It's a fundamentally different security methodology that makes breaches irrelevant, not just unlikely. A hacker who accesses the network without being in an approved relationship cannot see anything—there's nothing to find. They may have infiltrated your network but there is nothing they can hack/exfiltrate as there is nothing visible.
Entity Authentication Layer (WHO)
Every access starts with proving WHO you are through cryptographic validation that goes far beyond traditional authentication. Your identifier becomes the first key in unlocking the mathematical vault.
Enterprise SSO Integration
Federated entity support maintains compatibility with your existing Single Sign-On infrastructure while adding cryptographic certainty.
Hardware Security Modules
Integration with HSMs for key ceremony operations ensures the highest level of protection for cryptographic keys.
Session Security
Session-based JWT refresh eliminates long-lived credential risks while maintaining seamless user experience.
Multi-Factor Chains
Graduated security levels through multi-factor authentication chains provide appropriate security for different sensitivity levels.
Relationship Authorization Layer (WHAT)
Having valid credentials isn't enough. Entrelid's Relationship Distributed Identifiers (RDIDs) map to WHAT you can access. Terminate an employee? Their RDID disappears, and with it, all data access—without touching the data itself.
Time-Boxed Access
Automatic expiration windows ensure that access privileges have defined lifetimes, reducing the risk of lingering permissions.
Dynamic Permissions
Adjust permissions without data re-encryption, enabling seamless privilege changes without system disruption.
Global Jurisdiction Mapping
Cross-jurisdiction relationship mapping enables compliant operations across different regulatory environments.
Instant Revocation
Revocation propagates instantly across all nodes, eliminating the dangerous gap between termination and access removal.
Cryptographic Address Layer (WHERE)
This revolutionary third pillar determines WHERE data lives. Your data doesn't have a findable address—it exists at a location mathematically derived from all three security factors in our 340 trillion trillion address space.
  • Automatic geographic routing based on data sovereignty requirements
  • Key derivation isolation ensures no correlation between documents
  • Common Hierarchical Format parsing for efficient document storage and traversal
  • TTL-based distributed locking without central coordinators
This architecture enables both exceptional security and high performance by making security intrinsic to the storage mechanism itself.
Performance in Context: Security Without Compromise
175,000
Reads/Second
Not despite our security model—but because of it. Cryptographic addressing eliminates complex ACL traversals, retrieving data in constant time regardless of database size.
2^128
Keyspace
340 trillion trillion possible addresses create a mathematical void where data only appears when all factors align perfectly.
0
Performance Penalty
Security isn't a layer on top of storage—it's built into the storage mechanism itself, eliminating traditional security/performance tradeoffs.
With Entrelid, you no longer need to choose between security and performance. Our unique architecture delivers both simultaneously, without compromise.
Horizontal Scaling Without Coordination
Each server operates independently, with its own synchronized Data Store, computing addresses from the same inputs to reach the same locations. No distributed locks, no consensus protocols, no split-brain scenarios.
Add a server, add capacity—for linear scaling with zero configuration. And the multiple synchronized Data Stores make your data more resilient without sacrificing the mathematical certainty of our security model.
This architectural approach means Entrelid can grow with your needs without introducing new security vulnerabilities or coordination overhead, making it ideal for organizations with fluctuating workloads or plans for expansion.
Use Cases
Healthcare: Relationship-Based Access Control
When a traveling nurse's contract ends, their RDID expires. Instantly, across all facilities, their access vanishes—but audit logs remain intact. No IT tickets, no manual deprovisioning, no forgotten accounts. The relationship ended, so the access ended.
Healthcare personnel can only see what they have both a relationship to and a resource context for. This inherently prevents the most common types of healthcare data breaches while maintaining HIPAA compliance through architecture, not just policy.
Multi-tenant by design, Entrelid isolates each provider's data mathematically while enabling authorized sharing when appropriate, creating perfect boundaries between different healthcare organizations sharing the same infrastructure.
Financial Services: Cryptographic Audit Trails
Every transaction attempt requires all three security factors, creating an undeniable chain of authorization. A rogue trader can't claim their credentials were stolen—the cryptographic proof includes their entity, their relationship to the account, and the specific resource context.
For financial institutions, this means transactions become mathematically non-repudiable while still protecting data from unauthorized access. The result is a system that meets both regulatory requirements and security needs without compromise.
With Entrelid, financial institutions can dramatically reduce fraud risk while simplifying compliance with regulations like SOX, GLBA, and PCI-DSS through architectural guarantees rather than bolt-on controls.
Government: Compartmentalized Information
Different clearance levels map to different RDIDs. Access to classified data requires not just the right clearance (WHO) and need-to-know (WHAT), but generates addresses in completely separate cryptographic spaces (WHERE).
Clearance Level
Entity authentication verifies security clearance through cryptographic proof, ensuring only appropriately cleared personnel can access sensitive information.
Need-to-Know
RDID authorization ensures compartmentalized access based on specific mission requirements, preventing unnecessary exposure of classified data.
Cryptographic Isolation
Different classification levels exist in separate mathematical address spaces, making cross-contamination structurally impossible.
With our embedded security redaction and mathematical isolation between clearance levels, information can be perfectly compartmentalized while enabling appropriate sharing when authorized.
Compliance
Data Residency & GDPR Compliance
GDPR Article 17 - Automated Right to Erasure
Deleting an RDID makes all associated data cryptographically unreachable. The data still exists physically, but without the relationship component, its address cannot be computed. It's erasure through mathematics, not deletion—instant, complete, and auditable.
This approach creates perfect GDPR compliance without the complexity and risk of traditional data deletion processes. For organizations struggling with GDPR implementation, this architecture eliminates the need to modify existing data while ensuring complete regulatory compliance.
Zero Trust - No Implicit Access
There is no root account. There is no database browser. There is no "view all" permission. Every single data access requires explicit proof of entity, relationship, and context.
Zero trust isn't a configuration—it's the only possible state in the Entrelid architecture. This fundamentally changes how we approach security, moving from "trust but verify" to "mathematically verify then trust."
The result is a system where the concept of a security perimeter disappears entirely, replaced by cryptographic certainty at every access point—the purest implementation of Zero Trust principles available today.
