🪺 Cincia Keys Vault:

Version 3.0.0 has been released along with the w3myPQ v3.0.9

Advanced Key Obfuscation (Nest)

NOTE: The following is obsolete, see the version 3.0.0 linked above.

Unlike traditional key managers that simply encrypt Private keys into standard formats, BennyPQ v2.0.0 introduces a radical Zero-Knowledge Obfuscation System known as the Cincia Keys Vault.

Instead of generating a recognizable key file, the engine hides your critical private keys inside a decoy-filled file named ….nest.txt.

How the “Nest” Security Architecture Works:

How to Use the Cincia Keys Vault

1. Creating your Nest File

1. Open the Cincia Keys Vault panel within BennyPQ.
2. Enter your custom Secret Phrase.
3. The engine will instantly assemble the mixture of 95 decoys and 2 altered key fragments.
4. Download the resulting file, which saves by default as a harmless-looking nest.txt.

2. Rebuilding your Private Keys

1. To encrypt, sign, or decrypt files, you must first reconstruct your identity.
2. Load your nest.txt file into the BennyPQ interface.
3. Provide your exact Secret Phrase.
4. The Cincia code will read the phrase, isolate the 2 correct fragments from the 95 fakes, revert the changed bytes to their original state, and rebuild your ML-KEM and ML-DSA private keys in secure memory. Once rebuilt, they are automatically loaded into the proper input based on their type (KEM or DSA), so you do not have to load them manually.

Even if a malicious actor steals our nest.txt file, they are looking at a digital haystack. They cannot run standard cryptographic attacks because they don’t know which data is real, and even if they guess the right fragments, the keys remain broken until the exact byte-mutation logic is reversed by the secret phrase.
