Arcanum
A zero-knowledge password manager with vault functionality and AI-assisted risk analysis. Developed as an alternative to existing solutions — with the ambition of a more stable architecture, stricter encryption and more intelligent usability.
Problem
Established password managers make structural compromises. Cloud-based solutions store secrets on servers that, if master logic is compromised, see plaintext — an attack surface that can't be designed away. Local alternatives in return forgo intelligent analysis, which limits automatic strength evaluation, breach detection and data-driven generation.
Solution
A zero-knowledge security vault with full client-side encryption and AI-assisted analysis directly on the device. Password strength evaluation, breach matching and credential rotation run locally — the backend processes only encrypted blobs and never has plaintext access.
Target audience
Security-aware teams and individuals who reject cloud-based password managers on structural grounds. Particularly relevant for regulated environments — healthcare, legal, finance — with strict data-protection requirements and audit obligations.

Roadmap
Current state — Functional zero-knowledge core with client-side encryption and AI-based strength analysis. In active development. Next steps — browser extension, team sharing with end-to-end encryption, SOC 2 audit.
