What EnclaveVault is
The identity and key authority for the PostQS stack.
EnclaveVault is the identity, authorization, and cryptographic authority across EDP, EncryptHub, and the rest of the PostQS stack.
- Defines native user and service identities
- Enforces authentication and authorization
- Issues and validates access tokens
- Manages cryptographic material lifecycles
Identity as a platform boundary
If an identity does not exist in EnclaveVault, it cannot access the platform.
Identities exist within the platform
Users and services live inside EnclaveVault. Implicit trust from outside systems is never inherited.
Decisions evaluated internally
Access policies are applied inside EDP at execution time.
Authorization at execution time
Authorization is enforced during execution - not as an after-the-fact check.
No inherited trust
External identity systems are not assumed as part of the trust model.
Cryptographic authority
Material is scoped, lifecycle-managed, and not broadly accessible.
Beyond identity, EnclaveVault coordinates cryptographic context for execution, storage, and inter-component communication.
- Execution-scoped cryptographic context
- Storage-scoped key lifecycles
- Inter-component communication keying
- Backed by TRNG hardware entropy
Integrated with the platform
Tight coordination with the Enclave Data Platform.
Together they ensure identity, access, execution, and persistence operate under a consistent trust model.

Detailed documentation is available under NDA and appropriate authorization.
