Security & Private Key Management
Overview
RAZE takes user security seriously and implements multiple layers of protection to ensure your private keys and sensitive data remain secure. This document outlines our security architecture, data handling practices, and the measures we've implemented to protect your assets.
Security Architecture
Client-Side Security Model
RAZE operates on a client-side security model where:
All private keys are stored and managed locally on your device
No private keys are ever transmitted to our servers
Transaction signing occurs entirely within your browser
You maintain full custody and control of your assets
Hybrid Processing Approach
While private keys remain local, RAZE uses a hybrid approach for transaction processing:
Frontend: Handles wallet management, private key storage, and transaction signing
Backend: Provides transaction preparation, routing, and blockchain interaction services
No Key Transmission: Private keys never leave your device during any operation
Private Key Management
Storage Methods
RAZE implements a multi-tier storage system for maximum reliability:
Primary Storage: IndexedDB
// Secure browser database storage
const DB_NAME = 'WalletDB';
const DB_VERSION = 1;
const WALLET_STORE = 'wallets';
Backup Storage: LocalStorage
Automatic fallback if IndexedDB is unavailable
Ensures wallet data persistence across browser sessions
Encrypted using browser's built-in security mechanisms
Session Storage: Memory Only
Active wallet sessions stored in browser memory
Automatically cleared when browser is closed
No persistent traces in temporary files
Private Key Format & Validation
RAZE uses industry-standard Solana private key formats:
// Base58 encoded private keys (64-88 characters)
const base58Pattern = /^[1-9A-HJ-NP-Za-km-z]{64,88}$/;
// Validation ensures proper key length (64 bytes for Solana)
if (privateKeyBytes.length !== 64) {
return { wallet: null, error: 'Invalid private key length' };
}
Key Generation
New wallets are generated using cryptographically secure methods:
// Secure random key generation
const keypair = Keypair.generate();
const address = keypair.publicKey.toString();
const privateKey = bs58.encode(keypair.secretKey);
Data Protection Measures
Local Data Encryption
Browser-Level Security: Leverages browser's built-in encryption for localStorage and IndexedDB
Memory Protection: Sensitive data cleared from memory after use
No Plaintext Storage: Private keys never stored in plaintext files
Network Security
HTTPS Enforcement
// Automatic HTTPS enforcement for production
if (urlObj.hostname !== 'localhost' && !/^(\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}$/.test(urlObj.hostname)) {
urlObj.protocol = 'https:';
}
API Key Protection
Server communications protected with API keys
Keys stored locally and transmitted over encrypted connections
No sensitive data in URL parameters or logs
Transaction Security
Local Signing Process
// All transaction signing happens locally
const signedTransaction = transaction.sign([keypair]);
// Only signed transactions are transmitted
Bundle Processing
Transactions bundled for efficiency and privacy
Multiple wallet operations grouped together
Jito integration for MEV protection
Privacy Protection
Zero-Knowledge Architecture
RAZE implements a zero-knowledge approach:
No Account Creation: No user accounts or registration required
No Personal Data: No collection of personal information
No Tracking: No user behavior tracking or analytics
No Logs: Private keys and sensitive operations not logged
Data Minimization
We only process the minimum data required:
Wallet Addresses: Only public addresses shared with backend
Transaction Data: Only unsigned transaction templates processed
No Private Keys: Never transmitted or stored server-side
Local-First Approach
All sensitive operations happen locally:
Wallet generation and import
Private key management
Transaction signing
Balance calculations
Portfolio tracking
Security Best Practices
For Users
Wallet Management
Backup Your Keys: Always backup private keys securely
Multiple Copies: Store backups in multiple secure locations
Offline Storage: Consider cold storage for large amounts
Regular Audits: Periodically review your wallet list
Browser Security
Keep Updated: Use latest browser versions
Secure Environment: Use trusted devices and networks
Clear Data: Clear browser data when using shared computers
Extensions: Be cautious with browser extensions that can access page data
Operational Security
Verify URLs: Always verify you're on the correct RAZE domain
Check Transactions: Review all transaction details before signing
Monitor Balances: Regularly check wallet balances for unauthorized activity
Use Hardware Wallets: Consider hardware wallet integration for maximum security
For Developers
Code Security
Input Validation: All user inputs validated and sanitized
Error Handling: Secure error handling without information leakage
Dependency Management: Regular security updates for all dependencies
Code Reviews: All security-critical code reviewed by multiple developers
Technical Implementation
Wallet Creation Process
Key Generation: Cryptographically secure random key generation
Validation: Multiple validation checks on key format and length
Local Storage: Secure storage in IndexedDB with localStorage backup
Memory Management: Sensitive data cleared from memory after use
Transaction Flow
Preparation: Backend prepares unsigned transaction templates
Local Signing: All signing happens locally with user's private keys
Transmission: Only signed transactions transmitted to blockchain
Confirmation: Transaction status monitored and reported
Import/Export Security
// Secure file handling for bulk operations
const handleFileUpload = async (event: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => {
const file = event.target.files?.[0];
// Validate file type and content
// Process only valid private key formats
// Clear file data from memory after processing
};
Security Incident Response
If You Suspect a Compromise
Immediate Actions:
Stop using the affected wallets immediately
Transfer funds to new, secure wallets
Clear browser data completely
Assessment:
Review recent transactions for unauthorized activity
Check all connected wallets
Verify the integrity of your backup files
Recovery:
Generate new wallets using secure methods
Update all stored private keys
Re-import only verified secure wallets
