|

<p>This chapter records <strong>sourced</strong> facts. It does <strong>not</strong> turn Peergos, Verae,

<p>Data at rest is stored in an encrypted append-only Peergos filesystem;
|

backup/restore is managed via a distributed, hashed, encrypted Peergos
|

IPFS system, designed and evaluated in the EU as an audited secure

filesystem.</p>

<h2>Independent security audits (Europe)<a class="headerlink" href="#independent-security-audits-europe" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2>
|

<p><strong>2019 — Cure53 (Berlin, Germany).</strong>
|
||||
Pentest, source-code audit, <strong>crypto/design review</strong> (May–June 2019).
|
||||
No fundamental architectural or cryptographic problems; issues fixed.
|
||||
Cure53: the platform <strong>passed this evaluation</strong>.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>2024 — Radically Open Security B.V. (Amsterdam, Netherlands).</strong>
|
||||
Crystal-box pentest + code audit of Peergos web-ui (Sep–Nov 2024).
|
||||
<strong>0</strong> extreme / high / elevated; <strong>2</strong> moderate, <strong>6</strong> low; Peergos
|
||||
states all fixed; no data exposure or integrity compromise (mostly UI
|
||||
crashes).</p>
|
||||
<p>Both firms are <strong>EU-based</strong>. Both full reports are <strong>public</strong>. That is a
|
||||
<strong>security evaluation of the Peergos protocol/implementation</strong>, not a
|
||||
HIPAA/SOC 2/ISO management-system certificate.</p>

<p>Peergos’s hosted privacy notice states peergos.net uses servers in

|

<ul class="simple">
|

<li><p><strong>Cryptree</strong>: tree of symmetric keys; fine-grained read/write caps;
|

sibling names hidden; writes <strong>signed</strong>.</p></li>
|

<li><p><strong>Chunks</strong>: up to 5 MiB, padded, independently encrypted
|

(Salsa20-Poly1305); random 256-bit keys (not convergent).</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p><strong>IPFS</strong>: content-addressed blocks. Peergos <strong>verifies the hash</strong> of
|
||||
every block read from or written to IPFS. Clients verify hashes and
|
||||
signatures from a Peergos server.</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p><strong>CHAMP</strong>: encrypted cryptree nodes under <strong>random 32-byte labels</strong>.</p></li>

</ul>
|

<p>“Append-only” in Verae DataCubes is the <strong>cube chain JSONL</strong> (application

integrity). Peergos uses signed updates and immutable blocks. Do not

conflate the two layers in an audit interview.</p>
