CRED-ABILITY

A revolutionary credential management ecosystem designed to transform how digital identities and sensitive credentials are captured, managed, and secured across digital platforms.

Vision

CRED-ABILITY is more than just a password manager. It's an intelligent, contextual credential management system that provides:

• Seamless credential capture with minimal user friction
• Intelligent context analysis to understand credential relationships
• Proactive security recommendations to enhance digital security
• Defense-in-depth encryption with zero-knowledge architecture

Core Components

CRED-ABILITY is built on four primary pillars:

1. Browser Integration Engine: Automatically detects and captures credentials across web applications
2. Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server: Processes credential events and coordinates between components
3. Credential Vault: Securely stores and manages encrypted credentials using AES-256-GCM
4. Intelligence Layer: Analyzes context and generates security recommendations

Current Status

The project is currently in active development, with the Foundation Phase completed and the Core Functionality Phase in progress. We've established a solid architecture and implemented key security features, with a focus on completing the user interface and persistent storage next.

• Foundation Phase: ✓ Completed
• Core Functionality Phase: 🔄 In Progress (40% complete)
• Advanced Features Phase: ⏱️ Scheduled
• Compliance & Deployment Phase: ⏱️ Scheduled

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18+)
• Docker and Docker Compose
• Git

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/your-org/cred-ability.git
cd cred-ability

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Start development environment
docker-compose up -d

Running Tests

# Run all tests
npm test

# Run specific component tests
npm test -- --testPathPattern=browser-integration

Security Architecture

CRED-ABILITY implements defense-in-depth security:

• Encryption: AES-256-GCM for credential encryption
• Key Management: Hierarchical key structure with envelope encryption
• Authentication: Argon2id for secure key derivation
• Zero-Knowledge Design: Client-side encryption where possible
• Compartmentalization: Strict separation between detection, storage, and analysis

Development Workflow

1. Check TASKS.md for current priorities and available tasks
2. Branch from develop using naming convention: feature/feature-name or bugfix/issue-name
3. Develop following TDD approach and project coding standards
4. Submit PR with reference to task ID and comprehensive description
5. Update documentation as needed
