CipherStash Stack – Data Level Access Control in TS/JS

Hacker News

Hi HN, I'm Dan Draper, founder of CipherStash. We've spent 5 years building per-value searchable encryption tech. We realized that encryption like this is incredibly powerful but the engineering required is generally not worth the effort. So we built a platform and opensource SDK to take the cry out of cryptography :) CipherStash Stack is: * A searchable encryption SDK for TS and Postgres * Fast, key management with Zerokms (backed by HSM) * A transparent SQL proxy * Auth library and OIDC federation service * Skills for data security Integrations include Prisma Next, Drizzle, Auth0, Clerk and Supabase. Install and setup is done via a single npx stash init command. And can handoff implementation to your agent. You can start by encrypting just a single field and we've got the whole process down to around 15 minutes. Oh and its fast: most queries run in a few ms with many faster than that. We published our full benchmarks here: https://github.com/cipherstash/benches#headline-numbers I'd love to know what you think!
