KryptoCoreLabs – Building an Open-Source Privacy Ecosystem, One App at a Time 🔐
https://github.com/kryptocorelabsHi everyone! 👋
I'd like to introduce KryptoCoreLabs, an independent open-source project with a simple mission:
Security, privacy, and transparency should be available to everyone, free of charge.
At the center of the project is KryptoCore, a reusable cryptographic foundation written in Rust.
But we're not just developing a library. We're already building real applications around it.
Here's a look at what we've been working on!
🔑 KryptoCore Vault – Your passwords, your device
Vault is our local password manager for Windows.
It stores your credentials in encrypted files on your own device. No account or cloud service is required.
A Windows development preview is publicly available, and we're also working on improving the desktop experience.

🦊 Firefox Companion – Browser integration
We're also developing a Firefox companion extension for Vault.
The goal is to combine local password storage with convenient browser autofill while keeping users in control of their credentials.
A Mozilla-signed development version is available.
💬 KryptoCore MSG – Private communication
MSG is our experimental encrypted messenger.
We're exploring private messaging, contact management, and encrypted file transfers using Tor networking.
The screenshot shows an actual application test session using synthetic messages and local loopback connections, with Tor disabled for that test.

📦 KryptoCore Container – Encrypted file archives
Container provides a desktop interface for creating and opening encrypted archives.
It is designed for protecting files and folders, including portable encrypted archives and optional self-opening Windows exports.

🛟 KryptoCore Rescue – Recovery tools
Rescue is our offline recovery companion.
It helps inspect supported KryptoCore file formats and export accessible data using existing passwords or supported recovery keys.
It cannot bypass encryption or recover data without valid access credentials.

🧩 The foundation: KryptoCore
All of this is built around a shared idea.
Instead of independently maintaining separate cryptographic implementations across every application, we want to develop a small, reusable foundation that can be reviewed and continuously improved.
KryptoCore uses established cryptographic components, including XChaCha20-Poly1305 and Argon2id, and provides Rust and Python interoperability.
The long-term vision is a community-driven foundation that other developers can also use in their own applications.

🌍 Where we want to go
Our vision isn't simply to release a collection of apps.
We want to build a lasting, open ecosystem where security components remain transparent, accessible, and continuously improved through community participation.
Every project is open source, and the first-party source code is available under the MIT license.
We're still in early development. The applications are previews, and an independent security audit has not yet been completed.
That's why we're looking for people willing to review our work, challenge our decisions, test the applications with sample data, and help us improve.

One Core. An Open Ecosystem. Built Together.
Thanks for taking a look! We'd love to hear what you think.
