Cascade Execution Scheme

Encryption Pipeline (Forward Flow)

1
Time capsule seal: Data is first locked with a unique time capsule key on the local browser (Layer 1 Shield).
2
Target locking: The time capsule payload is immediately encrypted *again* with the designated beneficiary's public key (Layer 2 Shield).
3
Zero-knowledge storage: Locked vault syncs to servers. Even with the time capsule key, nobody (including Cipherwill) can inspect the data without the beneficiary's private key.

What is Cascade Encryption?

Cascade encryption secures sensitive digital data by applying multiple separate layers of encryption sequentially. Rather than trusting a single key, password, or algorithm, Cascade encryption mandates that an attacker must break every single mathematical seal in the sequence to inspect the underlying file. Each layer acts as an independent security checkpoint.

Why Cascade Matters Here

In a typical dead man's switch, a platform hold copies of keys. With Cipherwill's ordered Cascade system, even if our time capsule keys are leaked or exposed prematurely, your secrets remain entirely secure. Decryption is physically impossible without the beneficiary's private key, keeping your assets completely safe until they are successfully delivered.

Enterprise Cryptographic Protocols

Our cascade framework adheres strictly to open-source protocols. We combine high-performance symmetric algorithms with asymmetric elliptic curves for maximum performance and ultimate resilience.

AES-256-GCM

Authenticated Layer

Symmetric cipher protecting file confidentiality and integrity on-device.

ECDH (SECP256K1)

Key Exchange Layer

Secures handoffs, ensuring only the target beneficiary is capable of initiating decryption.

TIMELOCK

Time-Release Gate

Secured by decentralized public random beacons, keeping keys locked until target deadlines expire.
