HiLocker
Perception-aware protection for sensitive information displayed, opened, queried, inspected or consumed.
Executive summary
HiLocker addresses perception & human interface security through evidence-backed security workflows and auditable operations.
Core capabilities
- Perception-aware protection
- Interface masking and reveal
- Application/database presentation controls
- Document/message/log protection
- Policy-driven audit
Operational model
The architecture separates presentation, application services, protected configuration and evidence/data storage. Integrations provide authoritative production telemetry.
Security principles
- Least privilege
- Server-side secret handling
- TLS-protected interfaces
- Auditable actions and evidence
- Separation of management and protected data
Deployment
A hardened Ubuntu management server can operate behind Nginx with systemd-managed services, centralized identity, backup, monitoring and controlled integration endpoints.
Architecture considerations
A production evaluation should examine data sources, trust boundaries, identity, APIs, storage, administrative controls, evidence handling, reporting and failure modes.
Security review checklist
- Authentication and authorization
- Credential and secret storage
- Encryption and transport security
- Administrative auditability
- Integration trust boundaries
- Data retention and minimization
- Export and reporting controls
- Recovery assumptions
Evaluation success criteria
Success should be measured using workflow improvement, evidence quality, control effectiveness, usability, reporting value and integration reliability.
