        abstract = {With cloud computing now an integral part of everyday data management, maintaining user privacy and pre- venting unauthorized access have become pressing challenges. This paper introduces Secure Vault, a browser-based, client- side encryption system that ensures complete confidentiality of user data even in the event of server compromise. The system performs all cryptographic operations locally within the user’s browser using the Web Crypto API, ensuring that plaintext data never leaves the client environment. By integrating AES- GCM for encryption, RSA-OAEP for secure key management, and bcrypt for password protection, Secure Vault achieves a true zero-knowledge architecture meaning that even service providers have no visibility into stored content. Experimental results validate that Secure Vault achieves high performance with minimal latency while maintaining robust cryptographic integrity suitable for modern cloud storage use cases.},
