A vault is only as trustworthy as the code that protects it. The encryption that protects your files is open source. You can read the code yourself, or ask someone you trust to check it.
Most security apps ask you to believe them. They describe how strong their encryption is, and you have no way to check whether the words match the code. You are trusting a claim, not a fact.
We did not want to ask for that kind of trust. So the part of ArkWarden that protects your files is public. Anyone can read it, study it, and confirm that it does exactly what we say it does, and nothing else.
Open code does not make an app secure on its own. What it does is let you verify our claims about the main vault's encryption. If one of those claims is not true, the code will show it.
We publish the code that encrypts files in your main vault. This is the part worth checking.
Wing is an optional second vault with its own pattern and files. It is not part of this repository. How Wing works is described on the Wing page and in the security overview.
Go to the repository on GitHub. The code that encrypts files in your main vault is in one place, written to be read.
Read the security overview and the encryption page, then find the same steps in the code. The standards we name are the standards you will see.
You do not have to be a developer. Anyone with the right background can read the code and tell you whether it does what we say.
The code that protects your files is public. Read it, study it, or ask someone you trust to look.
