From ac7d4e067f7622cae4bad1af961ed55da5e455c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simone Scarduzio Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2025 09:51:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] security: Make encryption always-on with auto-cleanup MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit BREAKING CHANGES: - Encryption is now ALWAYS enabled (cannot be disabled) - Removed DG_CACHE_ENCRYPTION environment variable Security Enhancements: - Encryption is mandatory for all cache operations - Ephemeral encryption keys per process (forward secrecy) - Automatic deletion of corrupted cache files on decryption failures - Auto-cleanup on both decryption failures and SHA mismatches Changes: - Removed DG_CACHE_ENCRYPTION toggle from CLI and SDK - Updated EncryptedCache to auto-delete corrupted files - Simplified cache initialization (always wrapped with encryption) - DG_CACHE_ENCRYPTION_KEY remains optional for persistent keys Documentation: - Updated CLAUDE.md with encryption always-on behavior - Updated CHANGELOG.md with breaking changes - Clarified security model and auto-cleanup behavior Testing: - All 119 tests passing with encryption always-on - Type checking: 0 errors (mypy) - Linting: All checks passed (ruff) Rationale: - Zero-trust cache architecture requires encryption - Corrupted cache is security risk - auto-deletion prevents exploitation - Ephemeral keys provide maximum security by default - Users who need cross-process sharing can opt-in with persistent keys 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- CHANGELOG.md | 17 ++++++++++++++--- CLAUDE.md | 18 ++++++++++++------ src/deltaglider/adapters/cache_encrypted.py | 21 +++++++++++++++++++-- src/deltaglider/app/cli/main.py | 10 +++------- src/deltaglider/client.py | 10 +++------- 5 files changed, 51 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 3a76f92..8630d35 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -11,12 +11,17 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0 ### Security -
