LifeSafe
Overview
LifeSafe is an impenetrable fortress of deniability, empowering HighRisk tier users to erase their vault’s sensitive data with a single safeword, ensuring absolute protection against coercion, torture, or cryptanalysis. This powerful PIN-based deletion trigger wipes all traces of critical information, leaving attackers with nothing, when no data is visible, they know it’s gone forever, halting further attacks. Available exclusively in the HighRisk tier, LifeSafe redefines security for the most extreme scenarios.
How It Works
- Safeword-Triggered Erasure: Users set a unique safeword PIN that, when entered, activates an irreversible data erasure process, obliterating all sensitive vault contents instantly.
- Plausible Deniability Design: A wiped vault shows no data, signaling to attackers that nothing remains, unlike fake data which might prompt further coercion, ensuring deniability in high-stakes scenarios.
- Anti-Cryptanalysis Protection: LifeSafe employs advanced deletion techniques to thwart forensic recovery or cryptanalysis, rendering wiped data unrecoverable by even the most sophisticated tools.
- PIN-Based Deletion Trigger: A dedicated deletion PIN, separate from regular access PINs, initiates LifeSafe’s erasure, safeguarding against wrench attacks or forced disclosure.
- Zero-Knowledge Security: UnoLock has no access to the safeword or vault data, ensuring the deletion process is entirely user-controlled and private.
Security Implications
- Ultimate Coercion Defense: LifeSafe’s safeword erasure protects users under physical or psychological duress, ensuring sensitive data vanishes without a trace.
- Irreversible Data Wiping: Advanced deletion guarantees no data recovery, even by forensic or cryptanalytic methods, providing absolute deniability.
- Strategic Attack Deterrence: A visibly empty vault signals to attackers that no further data exists, halting coercion, wrench attacks, or cryptanalysis attempts.
Use Cases
- High-Risk Operatives: Whistleblowers or activists can erase sensitive communications or evidence under threat, ensuring no compromising data is exposed.
- Cryptocurrency Security: Investors can wipe crypto wallet seeds or keys if coerced, protecting significant digital assets from theft.
- Corporate Data Protection: Executives can safeguard trade secrets or proprietary information from forced disclosure, preserving corporate integrity in hostile environments.
Why It Matters
LifeSafe delivers an unrivaled defense against coercion, empowering users to erase their digital footprint with absolute deniability, ensuring attackers are left with nothing to pursue. This HighRisk tier feature redefines protection, placing unbreakable control in the user’s hands.
FAQs
Can any data be recovered after LifeSafe is triggered?
No, LifeSafe’s advanced deletion techniques ensure all vault data is irreversibly wiped, leaving no recoverable traces.
How does LifeSafe differ from Duress Decoy?
LifeSafe (HighRisk tier) erases all data for plausible deniability, while Duress Decoy (Sovereign tier) shows fake data, which may prompt attackers to suspect hidden information.
Is the LifeSafe safeword PIN secure from attackers?
Yes, the safeword PIN is encrypted and stored locally in UnoLock’s zero-knowledge architecture, accessible only to the user.
Compliance & Privacy Regulations
- GDPR Compliance: LifeSafe supports GDPR by enabling irreversible data deletion, ensuring no personal data remains accessible, aligning with user privacy rights.
Integration with Other Features
- End-to-End Encryption: Ensures all vault data is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before LifeSafe’s erasure, maintaining privacy throughout the process.
- Bitcoin Payment: Supports LifeSafe by allowing anonymous, one-time payments for HighRisk tier access, enhancing financial privacy during setup.
