SmartPassLib Go v1.0.2


Smart Passwords Library: Cryptographic password generation and management without storage. Generate passwords from secrets, verify knowledge without exposure, manage metadata securely.

Now with Cross-Platform Determinism: Same secret + same parameters = identical password on Go, C#, Python, Kotlin, JavaScript and any language with SHA-256.

Decentralized by Design: Unlike traditional password managers that store encrypted vaults on central servers, smartpasslib stores nothing. Your secrets never leave your device. Passwords are regenerated on-demand — no cloud, no database, no trust required.

Core Principles

  • Zero-Storage Security: No passwords or secret phrases are ever stored or transmitted
  • Decentralized Architecture: No central servers, no cloud dependency, no third-party trust required
  • Cross-Platform Deterministic Generation: Identical secret + parameters = identical password on any language (SHA-256 based)
  • Metadata Only: Store only verification metadata (public keys, descriptions, lengths)
  • On-Demand Regeneration: Passwords are recalculated when needed, never retrieved from storage
  • Cryptographically Secure: Uses crypto/rand and SHA-256

Key Features

  • Decentralized & Serverless: No central database, no cloud lock-in, complete user sovereignty
  • Smart Password Generation: Deterministic from secret phrase
  • Public/Private Key System: 30 iterations for private key, 60 for public key
  • Secret Verification: Verify secret without exposing it
  • Random Password Generation: Cryptographically secure random passwords
  • Authentication Codes: Short codes for 2FA/MFA (4-20 chars)
  • No External Dependencies: Pure Go, uses standard crypto

Security Model

  • Proof of Knowledge: Public keys verify secrets without exposing them
  • Decentralized Trust: No third party needed — you control your secrets completely
  • Deterministic Security: Same input = same output, always reproducible across platforms
  • No Vulnerable Metadata Storage: Only public keys and descriptions can be stored (optional)
  • Zero Storage of Secrets: Secret phrases exist only in your memory, private keys are derived on-demand and never persisted
  • No Recovery Backdoors: Lost secret = permanently lost passwords (by design)

Research Paradigms & Publications


Technical Foundation

Key derivation (same as Python/JS/Kotlin/C# versions):

Key Type Iterations Purpose
Private Key 30 Password generation (never stored, never transmitted)
Public Key 60 Verification (stored locally)

Character Set: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789!@#$&*-_

Decentralized Architecture:

  • No central authority required
  • Metadata can be synced via any channel (USB, cloud, even paper)
  • Your security depends only on your secret phrase, not on any service provider
  • Works offline — no internet connection required

Installation

go get github.com/smartlegionlab/smartpasslib-go

Quick Usage

Generate Smart Password

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/smartlegionlab/smartpasslib-go"
)

func main() {
    secret := "MyStrongSecretPhrase2026!"
    length := 16
    
    password, _ := smartpasslib.GenerateSmartPassword(secret, length)
    fmt.Println(password) // e.g., "jrh_E5V!2#neNjnP"
}

Generate Public/Private Keys

secret := "MyStrongSecretPhrase2026!"

publicKey, _ := smartpasslib.GeneratePublicKey(secret)
privateKey, _ := smartpasslib.GeneratePrivateKey(secret)

fmt.Println("Public Key (store locally):", publicKey)
fmt.Println("Private Key (never store):", privateKey)

Verify Secret Against Public Key

secret := "MyStrongSecretPhrase2026!"
storedPublicKey := "..." // from local

isValid, _ := smartpasslib.VerifySecret(secret, storedPublicKey)
if isValid {
    password, _ := smartpasslib.GenerateSmartPassword(secret, 16)
}

Generate Random Passwords

// Strong random (cryptographically secure)
strong, _ := smartpasslib.GenerateStrongPassword(20)

// Base random
base, _ := smartpasslib.GenerateBasePassword(16)

// Authentication code (4-20 chars)
code, _ := smartpasslib.GenerateCode(8)

Code length 4 chars 20 chars

Security Requirements

Secret Phrase

  • Minimum 12 characters (enforced)
  • Case-sensitive
  • Use mix of: uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols, emoji, or Cyrillic
  • Never store digitally
  • NEVER use your password description as secret phrase

Strong Secret Examples

✅ "MyStrongSecretPhrase2026!"   — mixed case + numbers + symbols
✅ "P@ssw0rd!LongSecret"         — special chars + numbers + length
✅ "КотБегемот2026НаДиете"       — Cyrillic + numbers

Weak Secret Examples (avoid)

❌ "GitHub Account"              — using description as secret (weak!)
❌ "password"                    — dictionary word, too short
❌ "1234567890"                  — only digits, too short
❌ "qwerty123"                   — keyboard pattern
❌ Same as description           — never use the same value as password description

Decentralized Nature

There is no "forgot password" button. This is by design:

  • No central server can reset your passwords
  • No support team can recover your access
  • Your secret phrase is the ONLY key

This is the price of true decentralization — you are completely in control.

Cross-Platform Implementations

The same deterministic algorithm is available in multiple languages. SmartPassLib Go produces identical passwords to:

Language Repository
Python smartpasslib
JavaScript smartpasslib-js
Kotlin smartpasslib-kotlin
C# smartpasslib-csharp
