Features & Roadmap

ENC is built from the ground up to solve the specific problem of code security in untrusted environments.

Core Features

For a comprehensive list of all system features, please refer to the Detailed Features List.

🔒 Encryption at Rest

All project files are stored as AES-256 encrypted ciphertexts on the server’s disk using gocryptfs. Even if an attacker gains physical access to the server’s hard drive, your code is unreadable without the specific project key.

⚡ Secure Runtime (In-Memory Decryption)

When you mount a project or run code, files are decrypted only in memory. They never touch the server’s disk in plaintext. This ensures that your intellectual property remains secure throughout its lifecycle.

🛡️ SSH Tunneling

All communication between the client (your laptop) and the ENC server happens over an encrypted SSH tunnel. We leverage the battle-tested security of SSH for authentication and transport.

🔑 Automated Access Management

We simplify security onboarding. Admins only need to provision a username and password. Users can then run enc setup ssh-key to: 1. Auto-generate a secure RSA-4096 key pair locally. 2. Securely transmit the public key to the server. 3. Automatically configure the local client to use this key.

This ensures User-Owned Security: The private key is generated on the user’s machine and never leaves it. The admin never sees or handles the user’s private credentials.

Roadmap

We represent the future of secure coding. Here is what we are building next:

🔄 GitHub Auto-Sync (Coming Soon)

Imagine mounting your project, making edits, and having them automatically pushed to a private GitHub repository the moment you unmount—encrypted or plaintext, based on your policy. * Status: In Design * Goal: Seamless version control integration.

💻 VS Code Extension (Coming Soon)

A native VS Code extension to manage ENC projects directly from your editor. * Features:

  • One-click Connect/Disconnect

  • Visual Project Explorer

  • Integrated Terminal for enc commands

  • Status: Planned

🚀 Hosted ENC Server

A managed service where you can spin up ENC environments instantly, without managing your own VPS.
