Cryptographic Operations and Key Management
This module provides secure cryptographic operations for the Agent Orchestration Platform,
implementing AES-256-GCM encryption for state persistence and ECDSA signatures for audit trails.
Architecture Integration:
- Design Patterns: Singleton pattern for key management, Factory pattern for crypto operations
- Security Model: Defense-in-depth with key rotation, secure deletion, and constant-time operations
- Performance Profile: O(1) key operations, O(n) encryption/decryption where n = data size
Technical Decisions:
- AES-256-GCM: Authenticated encryption with built-in integrity protection
- ECDSA P-256: Elliptic curve signatures for compact, fast verification
- PBKDF2: Key derivation with high iteration count for password-based keys
- OS Keyring: Secure key storage using system keychain when available
Dependencies & Integration:
- External: cryptography library for all cryptographic primitives
- Internal: Secure random generation and constant-time operations
Quality Assurance:
- Test Coverage: Property-based testing with hypothesis for edge cases
- Error Handling: Secure failure modes with automatic key rotation on corruption
