Secure Viewing for Eyes-Only Mode

Overview

[Placeholder: Specific content for "Secure Viewing for Eyes-Only Mode" to be updated once provided from security.html.]

The Secure Viewing for Eyes-Only Mode feature enables UnoLock CybVault users to access sensitive data, such as cryptocurrency keys, confidential documents, or personal records, in a highly secure, restricted environment that prevents unauthorized copying, screenshots, or external exposure. By activating Eyes-Only Mode, users ensure that data is displayed only for their viewing, with robust protections against screen recording, clipboard access, or other data extraction methods. This feature, designed for maximum privacy, reinforces UnoLock’s zero-knowledge architecture, providing a secure viewing experience for users handling critical information in high-stakes scenarios.

How It Works

  • Restricted Viewing Environment: Eyes-Only Mode activates a secure viewing interface that disables screenshot capabilities, screen recording, and clipboard access, ensuring data remains visible only to the authenticated user.
  • Client-Side Encryption: Data is decrypted and displayed in memory on the client device, encrypted with AES-256 GCM, preventing any server-side or external access during viewing.
  • WebAuthn Authentication: Access to Eyes-Only Mode requires strong authentication via WebAuthn, ensuring only authorized users can view sensitive data.
  • Ephemeral Display: Viewed data is not stored in browser cache or temporary files, and the session is cleared immediately after viewing, leaving no trace on the device.

Security Implications

  • Protection Against Data Leakage: By disabling screenshots, recordings, and clipboard access, Eyes-Only Mode prevents unauthorized capture or sharing of sensitive data, critical for high-security environments.
  • Enhanced Privacy: The zero-knowledge design ensures that viewed data remains private, with no server-side exposure or residual data left on the device.
  • Secure Access Control: WebAuthn authentication and ephemeral display minimize the risk of unauthorized access, even on shared or compromised devices.

Use Cases

  • Cryptocurrency Key Management: Users can securely view private keys or mnemonic phrases without risk of screen capture, protecting digital assets from theft or exposure.
  • Confidential Document Review: Professionals handling sensitive legal or financial documents can review them in Eyes-Only Mode, ensuring no unauthorized copies are made.
  • High-Risk Environments: Individuals in surveillance-heavy regions can view critical data, such as activist records, with assurance that no trace remains on the device.

Why It Matters

In scenarios where sensitive data must be viewed without risk of exposure, traditional viewing methods fall short due to vulnerabilities like screenshots or screen recordings. Secure Viewing for Eyes-Only Mode, as part of UnoLock’s privacy-focused features, provides a fortified environment for accessing critical information, ensuring that data remains for the user’s eyes only. This feature strengthens UnoLock’s zero-knowledge architecture, offering unparalleled privacy for users in high-stakes situations, as emphasized in discussions of its role in the tier structure.
