Abstract
Swifty is an open-source Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking project. 🔑 Free Offline-first Password Manager. entry's secrets are sealed in an extra application-level AEAD layer. It is built using TypeScript. Key capabilities include: Store Login/Password credentials; Credit card Information; Secure notes to store sensitive information. The complete source code is publicly available on GitHub under the GNU General Public License v3.0, making it a useful reference for students building a Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking mini project or final-year project.
1. Introduction
entry's secrets are sealed in an extra application-level AEAD layer
2. Objective
🔑 Free Offline-first Password Manager
This project demonstrates how TypeScript can be applied to a real-world Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking problem.
3. Key Features / Modules
- Store Login/Password credentials
- Credit card Information
- Secure notes to store sensitive information
- One-click Strong Password Generation
- Time-based One Time Passwords support (TOTP)
- Google Drive Sync (optional)
- No data is leaving your computer:
- Your vault is a locally stored, encrypted SQLite database (SQLCipher); each
- Secrets stay encrypted at rest and in memory, decrypted only when you reveal
- Ability to migrate from one computer to another using backup file or GDrive sync
