Trust and architecture notes
What VaultKind changes, and what it does not claim
Inherited from Cryptomator
VaultKind is derived from the Cryptomator desktop application under GPLv3. It retains Cryptomator-compatible vault handling and depends on Cryptomator libraries including cryptofs and cryptolib.
Changed by Webbi Networks
Webbi Networks changed the product direction to a Windows-only, English-only desktop application with a native WinUI shell, Learning Center, Vault Doctor diagnostics, Store packaging, and Webbi Networks publisher presentation.
Cryptographic boundary
The public engineering record says security-sensitive code and Java package identifiers are kept close to upstream where practical. The native Windows frontend talks to the Java vault engine through a narrow local interface; release notes do not claim changes to the vault format or cryptographic behavior.
What this does not prove
Public source code and Microsoft Store certification are useful transparency and distribution signals, but they are not an independent security audit. VaultKind has not had an independent third-party security audit.
