Security¶
graph-ted-db stores your graph as ordinary files. The library does not encrypt the graph folder.
Security matches the environment you choose:
- Disk / volume encryption and OS account permissions
- Who can read the folder (including sync clients and backups)
- Whether anything listens on the network
Practical guidance¶
- Airgapped host with an encrypted volume — can be very strong; treat that environment as your boundary.
- Synced, shared, or cloud-backed folders — anyone or any tool with access to the folder can read what you stored, including property values.
- HTTP serve — defaults to localhost. Binding beyond loopback requires an explicit host and a token. That protects the port, not the files on disk.
The library will not make an insecure disk secure. Choose storage and network to match how sensitive the data is.
