Keyfile Generator is designed to be a "Zero-Knowledge" tool. Because the application is a static HTML/JavaScript file, the security boundary is limited entirely to your local machine.

In many web environments, sensitive strings can persist in memory. To combat this, Keyfile Generator utilizes TypedArrays and a zeroArray() function. Once a key is generated or a password is processed, the underlying memory is overwritten with zeros before the object is marked for garbage collection.

By utilizing 200,000 iterations of SHA-512, the computational cost of testing a single password is significantly increased, making offline dictionary attacks and brute-force attempts computationally expensive.

Decryption will not proceed if the calculated HMAC does not match the stored MAC. This prevents "bit-flipping" attacks where an attacker might attempt to modify the ciphertext to alter the resulting key.

• Verify Source: Ensure you are running the official version of the HTML file.
• Incognito Mode: Running the tool in a Private/Incognito window disables most browser extensions, preventing potential malicious scripts from interacting with the DOM.
• Offline Use: For high-security requirements, save the HTML file and run it on a machine with the network interface disabled.
