ZMath / Zero Boundary Algebra
Encrypt locally. Send the container.
ZShield turns a message, file, or vault note into an authenticated envelope inside your browser. The passphrase, exact pattern image, and plaintext stay on your device. Matrix E2EE protects the room; ZMath Auto adds a separate encrypted payload inside the hosted Element composer and attachment path.
Hosted automatic lane
The real Element client protects content after one local unlock.
ZMath Auto processes the password and exact image separately, mixes the factors with HKDF, and applies AES-256-GCM before Element sends a message or selected attachment. Legacy ZME1 containers remain readable.
The exact image can be remembered only as an encrypted local device record. The passphrase remains session-only. Recipients need matching factors; Matrix-only sending remains an explicit option.
How Shield is presented to users
.zme1 attachment.
The hosted service uses reviewable standard Web Crypto primitives and a dual-factor ZMath unlock. Licensed deployments add owner-controlled policy and recovery operations. An optional IonQ hardware-linked factor is derived in the owner browser and becomes a required KDF input when that profile is selected. IonQ receives neither the browser nonce nor the final factor.

Working local flow
Users can protect and open files today with a clear authenticated-encryption workflow.
Policy entitlement
Licensed servers can use approved entitlement checks for self-hosted Shield and Q Call access.
Protected source boundary
Licensing grants use of the premium layer, not republication of private ZMath source code.
Clear fallback
Normal Matrix messaging remains usable; Shield files appear as protected containers to clients without Shield tooling.
