Cloud services hold your encryption keys. Data breaches expose millions every year. Legal proceedings can subpoena your accounts. Standard tools were never built to stop a determined adversary.
VQPro was engineered from the ground up with one purpose — a vault that no one can breach, subpoena, clone, or compel. Not even the people who built it.
Every file encrypted individually before touching disk. Authenticated — tampering detected instantly. Individual keys per file. Intelligence-grade cipher. No exceptions.
Password Hashing Competition winner. Memory-hard, time-hard — engineered to destroy GPU cracking rigs. Your password becomes a cryptographic weapon no brute-force survives.
Vault fingerprinted to your CPU, motherboard serial, and USB drive. Stolen data is worthless. A clone of your drive will not open it. Only your exact hardware combination does.
Under coercion? The duress password opens a convincing, completely empty vault. Your real files stay buried. No one can tell the difference. No one gets through.
Three random passes plus one zero pass. Your vault is forensically obliterated — unrecoverable by any known means. Panic hotkey Ctrl+Shift+K. Panic phrase at Gate I. 64KB decoy left behind.
Anyone deposits files into your vault without a password, account, or exposure on either side. Only you extract. Powered by X25519 elliptic-curve encryption. Zero-knowledge on both ends.
Five independently encrypted chambers — Banking, Personal, Crypto, Business, Custom. Each has its own password, Argon2id key, and AES-256-GCM encryption. Completely invisible to each other.
Every vault action cryptographically signed with Ed25519 — timestamped, ordered, tamper-evident. One-click signature verification. Legally admissible. Boardroom-grade forensic trail.
NIST-selected Kyber hardens key exchange against quantum computers. The threat is coming. VQPro is already hardened against it today — not when it is already too late.
Three failed Gate I attempts triggers a 24-hour hard lockout — PBKDF2/Fernet encrypted state. No bypass. Brute-force attacks stop here completely.
Miss your 30-day check-in and encrypted messages deliver automatically to your chosen recipient. Warning shown at day 25. Your legacy protected when you can no longer protect it yourself.
Exports an AES-256-GCM encrypted bundle of vault structure only — config, keys, audit log — never file content. Compatible with Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive sync folders.
Custom vault name, tagline, and colour theme. Six presets plus manual hex entry. Live preview before saving. Your vault, your identity — six colour schemes built in.
One-click encrypted backup bundle — restore your entire vault structure to a new USB if the original is lost or destroyed. Removes the USB loss concern permanently.
Face recognition and fingerprint via Windows Hello API. Falls back gracefully to password if biometric is unavailable. Enable or disable per vault in Settings.
HMAC-SHA1 challenge-response via YubiKey OTP slot. USB HID detection. Falls back gracefully if no key is present. The hardware security key standard — built in.
Generates a one-time wipe token stored offline. On next vault launch if token is present — silent total wipe. Stolen USB protection that fires before anyone gets a chance to try.
One-click Ed25519-signed PDF — date, time, machine ID, vault name, cryptographic signature. Printable, verifiable proof of access. Legally admissible documentation generated in seconds.
HMAC-SHA256 licence tied to your specific machine and USB fingerprint on first run. Validates on every launch. Blocks unauthorised copies of the software entirely.
Exports an encrypted vault structure to any local folder — compatible with all major sync services. Structure only — never file content. True zero-knowledge cloud compatibility.
RFC 6238 compatible — Google Authenticator and Authy. QR code setup in Settings. 6-digit rotating code required at Gate I. Backup codes generated on setup.
Duplicate your vault to a second USB with full re-binding to the new drive. SHA-256 integrity verification on every copied file. Progress bar with live file-by-file status.
Single JSON file rebrands the entire product — name, tagline, colours, splash text, version string. Your own branded build deployed in minutes without any development work.
Owner plus up to five named users with full role enforcement. Admin, ReadWrite, ReadOnly, DepositOnly. Each user has their own password. Audit trail records who did what and when.
View images, PDFs and text directly inside the vault — decrypted to RAM only, rendered inline, zero disk residue. No temp files written. No external application needed.
Live 0–100 security score on every dashboard open. Assesses USB binding, machine binding, 2FA status, backup age, fail rate, audit integrity and dead man's switch. Green, Gold or Red.
Deposits tab shows a badge count for every new file received since your last visit — auto-clears on open, audit logged. Idle timeout re-engages the full Gate I animated vault door overlay over the dashboard. Password required to resume. No bypass.
Wipes clipboard automatically after a configurable delay of 10 to 120 seconds following any copy action inside the vault. Ctrl+W to wipe instantly. Countdown shown in status bar.
One-click encrypted PDF summary of vault state — chamber count, file counts, deposit count, health score, audit entries. Ed25519 signed. No file names or content exposed. Legally admissible.
Set a future date and time — vault sealed until that exact moment. Gate I checks the clock before accepting any password. Bypass is not possible. Locked means locked.
Ctrl+Shift+H wraps the vault in a fake application — Notepad, File Explorer, or Calculator. Looks completely normal to anyone watching. Toggle back instantly. Fully configurable.
Panic phrase fires an SOS email to your emergency contact — public IP, Windows username, timestamp — before triggering wipe. Configurable message, recipient, and SMTP in Settings.
Silent automated message to your nominated heir — fires once if the dead man's switch has triggered and 30 days have passed. One-shot. Never repeats. Your instructions guaranteed delivery.
Microphone captures a 3-second ambient sample and builds a SHA-256 energy hash as a soft environment binding token. An additional identity layer. Graceful fallback if no microphone is present.
Vault registers to launch automatically on USB insertion via Windows Task Scheduler — no autorun.inf, UAC bypassed. Ctrl+Shift+S spawns the vault silently from the system tray. Invisible until you need it. Both configurable in Settings.
Every feature documented in plain English, step by step, inside the vault itself. Fully searchable. Always current. No external PDF, no browser, no internet required. Everything you need is inside the vault.
