# E2E Encryption Implementation Review - December 2025
|
||||
|
||||
## Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
This document provides a comprehensive security review of the E2E encryption implementation for SuperSync operation logs.
|
||||
|
||||
**Overall Status**: ✅ **PRODUCTION READY** - E2E encryption is fully implemented for SuperSync
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture Context (IMPORTANT)
|
||||
|
||||
Before analyzing the code paths, it's critical to understand the sync architecture:
|
||||
|
||||
### How Operation Log Sync Works
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Operation log sync only runs for providers that support it** (see `sync.service.ts:104`)
|
||||
2. **Only SuperSync implements `OperationSyncCapable`** - it's the only provider with `supportsOperationSync = true`
|
||||
3. **SuperSync always uses API-based sync** (`_uploadPendingOpsViaApi` / `_downloadRemoteOpsViaApi`)
|
||||
4. **Legacy providers (WebDAV, Dropbox, LocalFile) skip operation log sync entirely** and use pfapi's model-level LWW sync with whole-file encryption via `EncryptAndCompressHandler`
|
||||
|
||||
### Code Flow
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sync.service.ts:sync()
|
||||
│
|
||||
├── if (_supportsOpLogSync(provider)) { // Only true for SuperSync
|
||||
│ └── operationLogSyncService.uploadPendingOps()
|
||||
│ └── if (isOperationSyncCapable) → _uploadPendingOpsViaApi() ✅ ENCRYPTED
|
||||
│ └── else → _uploadPendingOpsViaFiles() ⚠️ NEVER CALLED
|
||||
│
|
||||
└── else { // WebDAV, Dropbox, LocalFile
|
||||
└── pfapi model sync (LWW with file-level encryption)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### File-based Operation Log Sync is DEAD CODE
|
||||
|
||||
The methods `_uploadPendingOpsViaFiles()` and `_downloadRemoteOpsViaFiles()` exist for future extensibility but are **never called** because:
|
||||
|
||||
1. SuperSync uses API-based sync (it implements `OperationSyncCapable`)
|
||||
2. Legacy providers skip operation log sync entirely
|
||||
|
||||
These methods have been documented with `CURRENTLY UNUSED` JSDoc comments.

|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Upload Path Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.1 Regular Operations via uploadOps (API-based) ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**File**: `src/app/core/persistence/operation-log/sync/operation-log-upload.service.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Lines 119-182**: Encryption is properly implemented:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Check if E2E encryption is enabled
|
||||
const privateCfg = (await syncProvider.privateCfg.load()) as SuperSyncPrivateCfg | null;
|
||||
const isEncryptionEnabled = privateCfg?.isEncryptionEnabled && !!privateCfg?.encryptKey;
|
||||
const encryptKey = privateCfg?.encryptKey;
|
||||
|
||||
// Encrypt payloads if E2E encryption is enabled
|
||||
if (isEncryptionEnabled && encryptKey) {
|
||||
OpLog.normal('OperationLogUploadService: Encrypting operation payloads...');
|
||||
syncOps = await this.encryptionService.encryptOperations(syncOps, encryptKey);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: ✅ **PASS** - Operations are encrypted before upload when encryption is enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.2 Full-State Operations via Snapshot Endpoint ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**File**: `src/app/core/persistence/operation-log/sync/operation-log-upload.service.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Lines 383-419**: Snapshot encryption is properly implemented:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
private async _uploadFullStateOpAsSnapshot(
|
||||
syncProvider: SyncProviderServiceInterface<SyncProviderId> & OperationSyncCapable,
|
||||
entry: OperationLogEntry,
|
||||
encryptKey: string | undefined,
|
||||
): Promise<{ accepted: boolean; serverSeq?: number; error?: string }> {
|
||||
let state = op.payload;
|
||||
|
||||
// If encryption is enabled, encrypt the state
|
||||
if (encryptKey) {
|
||||
OpLog.normal('OperationLogUploadService: Encrypting snapshot payload...');
|
||||
state = await this.encryptionService.encryptPayload(state, encryptKey);
|
||||
}
|
||||
// ... upload encrypted state ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: ✅ **PASS** - Full-state snapshots are encrypted before upload.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.3 File-based Sync Upload Path ℹ️ **NOT APPLICABLE**
|
||||
|
||||
**File**: `src/app/core/persistence/operation-log/sync/operation-log-upload.service.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Lines 270-346**: `_uploadPendingOpsViaFiles()` method
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: ℹ️ **DEAD CODE** - This method is never called because:
|
||||
|
||||
- Only SuperSync supports operation log sync
|
||||
- SuperSync uses API-based sync, not file-based sync
|
||||
- Legacy providers skip operation log sync entirely
|
||||
|
||||
The method has been documented with a `CURRENTLY UNUSED` JSDoc comment explaining this.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Download Path Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.1 Regular Downloaded Operations (API-based) ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**File**: `src/app/core/persistence/operation-log/sync/operation-log-download.service.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Lines 145-178**: Decryption is properly implemented with error handling:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Decrypt encrypted operations if we have an encryption key
|
||||
const hasEncryptedOps = syncOps.some((op) => op.isPayloadEncrypted);
|
||||
if (hasEncryptedOps) {
|
||||
if (!encryptKey) {
|
||||
OpLog.error('Received encrypted operations but no encryption key configured.');
|
||||
this.snackService.open({
|
||||
type: 'ERROR',
|
||||
msg: T.F.SYNC.S.ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD_REQUIRED,
|
||||
});
|
||||
downloadFailed = true;
|
||||
return;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
try {
|
||||
syncOps = await this.encryptionService.decryptOperations(syncOps, encryptKey);
|
||||
} catch (e) {
|
||||
if (e instanceof DecryptError) {
|
||||
OpLog.error('Failed to decrypt operations. Wrong encryption password?', e);
|
||||
this.snackService.open({ type: 'ERROR', msg: T.F.SYNC.S.DECRYPTION_FAILED });
|
||||
downloadFailed = true;
|
||||
return;
|
||||
}
|
||||
throw e;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: ✅ **PASS** - Downloaded operations are properly decrypted with error handling for:
|
||||
|
||||
- Missing encryption key
|
||||
- Wrong password
|
||||
- Corrupted ciphertext
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.2 Piggybacked Operations ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**File**: `src/app/core/persistence/operation-log/sync/operation-log-upload.service.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Lines 227-234**: Piggybacked operations from upload response are properly decrypted:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Decrypt piggybacked ops if any are encrypted and we have a key
|
||||
const hasEncryptedOps = piggybackSyncOps.some((op) => op.isPayloadEncrypted);
|
||||
if (hasEncryptedOps && encryptKey) {
|
||||
piggybackSyncOps = await this.encryptionService.decryptOperations(
|
||||
piggybackSyncOps,
|
||||
encryptKey,
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: ✅ **PASS** - Piggybacked operations are decrypted when needed.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.3 File-based Sync Download Path ℹ️ **NOT APPLICABLE**
|
||||
|
||||
**File**: `src/app/core/persistence/operation-log/sync/operation-log-download.service.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Lines 237-331**: `_downloadRemoteOpsViaFiles()` method
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: ℹ️ **DEAD CODE** - Same as upload path, this method is never called.
|
||||
|
||||
The method has been documented with a `CURRENTLY UNUSED` JSDoc comment explaining this.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Edge Cases Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.1 Mixed Encrypted/Unencrypted History ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**Scenario**: Some operations are encrypted, others are not (common after enabling encryption mid-use).
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Behavior**:
|
||||
|
||||
- `decryptOperation()` checks `isPayloadEncrypted` flag and passes through unencrypted ops unchanged
|
||||
- Tested in `operation-encryption.service.spec.ts` (lines 74-83, 152-167)
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: ✅ **PASS** - Correctly handles mixed encryption states.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.2 Wrong Password ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**Scenario**: User provides wrong encryption password.
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Behavior**: Properly handled in download path:
|
||||
|
||||
- Catches `DecryptError`
|
||||
- Shows user-friendly error message
|
||||
- Fails sync gracefully without corrupting data
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: ✅ **PASS** - Error handling is correct.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.3 Missing Password with Encrypted Operations ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**Scenario**: User's encryption key is missing but remote operations are encrypted.
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Behavior**: Properly handled in download path:
|
||||
|
||||
- Detects encrypted ops without key
|
||||
- Shows error message requesting password
|
||||
- Fails sync without attempting to apply encrypted data
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: ✅ **PASS** - Error handling is correct.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Configuration Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.1 Encryption Key Storage ✅
|
||||
|
||||
The encryption key is stored in the **private config** (not synced):
|
||||
|
||||
- `SuperSyncPrivateCfg.encryptKey` - The actual key
|
||||
- `SuperSyncPrivateCfg.isEncryptionEnabled` - Flag to enable/disable
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: ✅ **PASS** - Encryption key is properly stored and never synced.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Test Coverage
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.1 Unit Tests ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**File**: `src/app/core/persistence/operation-log/sync/operation-encryption.service.spec.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Coverage**:
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ Encryption with `isPayloadEncrypted` flag
|
||||
- ✅ Decryption of encrypted ops
|
||||
- ✅ Pass-through of unencrypted ops
|
||||
- ✅ Wrong password error handling
|
||||
- ✅ Corrupted ciphertext error handling
|
||||
- ✅ Mixed encrypted/unencrypted batches
|
||||
- ✅ Various payload types (null, string, number, array, nested objects)
|
||||
- ✅ Special characters and unicode
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: ✅ **EXCELLENT** - Comprehensive unit test coverage.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.2 E2E Tests ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**File**: `e2e/tests/sync/supersync-encryption.spec.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Coverage**:
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ "Encrypted data syncs correctly with valid password"
|
||||
- ✅ "Encrypted data fails to sync with wrong password"
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: ✅ **GOOD** - Both positive and negative scenarios tested.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Fixes Applied
|
||||
|
||||
The following issues were fixed during this review:
|
||||
|
||||
### 6.1 Zod Schema Missing `isPayloadEncrypted` Field 🔴 → ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**Location**: `packages/super-sync-server/src/sync/sync.routes.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue**: The Zod `OperationSchema` was missing the `isPayloadEncrypted` field. Since Zod strips unknown keys by default, the client was sending `isPayloadEncrypted: true` but the server was receiving `undefined`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**: Added `isPayloadEncrypted: z.boolean().optional()` to the schema.
|
||||
|
||||
### 6.2 Debug Logging Removed ✅
|
||||
|
||||
Removed debug `console.log` statements from:
|
||||
|
||||
- `operation-log-upload.service.ts`
|
||||
- `operation-encryption.service.ts`
|
||||
- `sync.service.ts` (server)
|
||||
|
||||
### 6.3 Potential Key Exposure Removed ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**Location**: `encrypt-and-compress-handler.service.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
- Removed `encryptKey` from `DecryptNoPasswordError` additional data
|
||||
- Removed log that could expose encrypt key in dev mode
|
||||
|
||||
### 6.4 Duplicate Form Fields Fixed ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**Location**: `sync-form.const.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue**: Two sets of encryption fields were shown - SuperSync-specific and generic "Advanced" fields.
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**: Added `hideExpression` to hide Advanced encryption fields when SuperSync is selected.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
The E2E encryption implementation for SuperSync is **complete and production-ready**:
|
||||
|
||||
✅ Operations encrypted before upload (API path)
|
||||
✅ Operations decrypted after download (API path)
|
||||
✅ Piggybacked operations decrypted
|
||||
✅ Snapshot uploads encrypted
|
||||
✅ Mixed encryption states handled correctly
|
||||
✅ Wrong password detection with user-friendly error
|
||||
✅ Missing password detection with user-friendly error
|
||||
✅ Encryption key stored securely in private config
|
||||
✅ Both E2E tests passing
|
||||
✅ All 29 SuperSync tests passing
|
||||
|
||||
The file-based operation log sync paths (`_uploadPendingOpsViaFiles`, `_downloadRemoteOpsViaFiles`) are dead code that exists for future extensibility but is never called in the current architecture.
