They sit in plaintext columns, .env files, config repos. AES at rest is meaningless when the app layer holds the decryption key. A single SQL injection, misconfigured S3 bucket, or compromised backup — and every secret in your system is exposed.
H33-Shield uses Kyber-1024 post-quantum encryption and HMAC-SHA3 zero-knowledge verification. Keys are encrypted before they touch any storage. Verification happens without the key ever crossing the network.
Start ProtectingVault products store encrypted data. Shield protects the keys that unlock everything else — API credentials, database passwords, service tokens, webhook secrets. The keys that, if leaked, give an attacker the same access as your most privileged engineer.
Not another vault. Mathematical invulnerability.
Kyber-1024 KEM + HMAC-SHA3 proof + Dilithium signature — in a single API call under 2 milliseconds.
