# Encryption.md Update Summary

**Date**: 2026-03-09  
**File**: docs/product/encryption.md  
**Update**: Added Rust implementation examples and current status

---

## Changes Made

### 1. Added Implementation Status Section 🆕
- Currently implemented features marked with ✅
- Planned features marked with 📋
- Clear distinction between design and implementation

### 2. Added Rust Implementation Examples 🆕
**Current Security Features**:
- JWT Authentication Service (actual code from `backend/src/auth/mod.rs`)
- Password Hashing with PBKDF2 (100,000 iterations)
- Rate Limiting Middleware (tower-governor)
- Account Lockout Service (exponential backoff)
- Security Audit Logger (MongoDB logging)

**Proposed Encryption Features**:
- Encryption Service design (AES-256-GCM)
- Encrypted Health Data Model
- Deterministic Encryption for searchable fields
- Key Management Strategy
- Shareable Links implementation

### 3. Updated Code Examples
- Replaced JavaScript/Node.js examples with Rust
- Used actual implementation from Normogen codebase
- Added real-world examples from existing code
- Maintained theoretical examples for planned features

### 4. Added Comparison Table
- Current Implementation vs Proposed
- Implementation status for all features
- Priority and complexity ratings

### 5. Updated Dependencies
- Listed currently used crates (jsonwebtoken, pbkdf2, etc.)
- Proposed additions for encryption features

## File Statistics

### Before
- Size: 32KB
- Lines: 1,248
- Language: JavaScript/Node.js examples
- Focus: Theoretical design

### After
- Size: 28KB (slightly smaller)
- Lines: ~1,100
- Language: Rust examples (matching backend)
- Focus: Current implementation + future design

---

## Key Improvements

1. **Accurate**: Reflects actual implementation status
2. **Rust-focused**: Matches backend technology
3. **Practical**: Real code from codebase, not just theory
4. **Clear**: Distinguishes between implemented and planned
5. **Comprehensive**: Covers current security + future encryption

---

## Implementation Coverage

### Currently Implemented ✅
- JWT authentication (15min access, 30day refresh)
- PBKDF2 password hashing (100K iterations)
- Rate limiting (15 req/s, burst 30)
- Account lockout (5 attempts, exponential backoff)
- Security audit logging
- Session management

### Planned for Future 📋
- End-to-end encryption
- Client-side encryption
- Zero-knowledge encryption
- Shareable links with embedded passwords
- Key rotation

---

## Next Steps

1. ✅ Document current security implementation
2. ✅ Add Rust code examples
3. 📋 Implement zero-knowledge encryption (Phase 3+)
4. 📋 Add client-side encryption
5. 📋 Implement shareable links
