Security Audit & Bug Bounty Portal
Honoring independent security researchers, peer reviewers, and ethical disclosure partners.
Radical Transparency & Responsible Disclosure
We believe true security is forged through radical openness. Sino operates zero central servers, no database repositories, and no key escrows. Our entire cryptographic core, Argon2id key derivation routines, and multi-cloud sync modules are published on GitHub (sino-open-sdk) for independent peer review.
Audit Scope & Severity Matrix
Vault Key Compromise
Unauthenticated remote key extraction or cipher bypass.
Metadata Leakage
Bypassing blind cloud directory salt obfuscation.
PhantomVault Bypass
