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.
