ShadowCrypt Security Audit - Complete Test Guide

Overview

All 5 security domains have been implemented with comprehensive test coverage.

Total Implementation: ~2,500 lines of production code Total Tests: ~1,400 lines across 6 test files

Domain 1: RAM Forensics (Memwipe)

File: backend/pkg/session/secure_manager.go

What it tests: Session tokens are zeroed from memory on expiration/removal

Run the tests:

cd d:\ShadowCrypt
go test -v ./backend/pkg/session/ -run TestMemwipe

Test cases:

  • TestMemwipeOnSessionExpiration - Sessions expire and are wiped
  • TestMemwipeOnExplicitRemoval - RemoveSession() triggers wipe
  • TestSecureByteWipe - Byte-level verification of zeroing
  • TestShutdownWipesAllSessions - Shutdown clears all data
  • TestMemwipePreventsCoreMemoryRecovery - Core dump prevention

Domain 2: Side-Channel Leaks (Mnemonic Obfuscation)

File: frontend/lib/crypto/secure_string.dart

What it tests: Mnemonic never appears as plaintext in widget tree

Run the tests:

cd d:\ShadowCrypt
flutter test frontend/test/secure_string_test.dart

Test cases:

  • testObfuscatedHidesPlaintextImmediately - XOR obfuscation works
  • testMaskedDisplayShowsOnlyLastWord - UI shows only asterisks
  • testClearPreventsReadAccess - Cleared strings throw StateError
  • testWidgetTreeSecurityAudit - Accessibility service cannot read plaintext

Domain 3: Double Ratchet Race Conditions

File: frontend/lib/crypto/conflict_aware_ratchet.dart

What it tests: Simultaneous DH ratchets resolve deterministically

Run the tests:

cd d:\ShadowCrypt
flutter test frontend/test/conflict_aware_ratchet_test.dart

Test cases:

  • testDetectsSimultaneousDHRatchet - Both proposals are tracked
  • testResolvesConflictBasedOnSequenceNumber - Higher sequence wins
  • testResolvesConflictByPublicKeyComparison - Lexicographic comparison
  • testPreservesHistoricalStateForSkippedMessages - State archival works
  • testPreventsDosViaExcessiveSkippedMessages - 1,000 key limit enforced
  • testCanDecryptMessagesFromHistoricalStates - Recovery from old states
  • testHigherSequenceNumberWins - Sequence priority verified
  • testSameSequenceUsesLexicographicComparison - Key comparison logic

Domain 4: Hardware Bottlenecks (Lazy-Loading DAO)

File: frontend/lib/data/database/lazy_message_dao.dart

What it tests: UI doesn't jank on i3 laptops during bulk decryption

Run the tests:

cd d:\ShadowCrypt
flutter test frontend/test/lazy_message_dao_test.dart

Test cases:

  • Initializes background isolate - Isolate spawning works
  • Loads messages in 20-message batches - Batch size correct
  • Preloads next page during navigation - No blocking
  • Caches decrypted messages in memory - Cache management
  • Clears cache to free memory on i3 devices - Memory pressure handling
  • Groups messages for batch processing - Grouping logic
  • Calculates average decryption time - Performance metrics
  • Reports i3 hardware metrics - Throughput tracking

Domain 5: Registration Spoofing (Challenge-Response)

File: backend/pkg/auth/challenge_response.go

What it tests: Ed25519 proves identity during registration

Run the tests:

cd d:\ShadowCrypt
go test -v ./backend/pkg/auth/ -run 'Challenge|Registration'

Test cases:

  • TestIssueChallenge_Success - Challenge nonce generated
  • TestIssueChallenge_InvalidPublicKey - Rejects bad keys
  • TestIssueChallenge_UniqueNonces - Nonces are random
  • TestVerifyChallenge_ValidSignature - Good signature verified
  • TestVerifyChallenge_InvalidSignature - Bad signature rejected
  • TestVerifyChallenge_PublicKeyMismatch - Key mismatch caught
  • TestVerifyChallenge_ExpiredChallenge - TTL enforcement
  • TestCleanupExpiredChallenges - Garbage collection works
  • TestReplayProtection_ChallengeReuse - Replay attacks blocked
  • TestRegistrationAttemptTracker_RateLimit - Brute force protection
  • TestRegistrationAttemptTracker_WindowExpiry - Time window enforced
  • TestRegistrationFlow_CompleteFlow - Full flow succeeds
  • TestRegistrationFlow_AttackerImpersonation - Spoofing blocked
  • TestRegistrationFlow_BruteForceProtection - Rate limit enforced

Running All Tests

Backend (Go):

cd d:\ShadowCrypt

# All backend tests
go test -v ./backend/pkg/...

# With coverage
go test -v ./backend/pkg/... -cover

# Specific domain
go test -v ./backend/pkg/session/...
go test -v ./backend/pkg/auth/...

Frontend (Flutter):

cd d:\ShadowCrypt

# All tests
flutter test

# With coverage
flutter test --coverage

# Specific test file
flutter test frontend/test/secure_string_test.dart
flutter test frontend/test/conflict_aware_ratchet_test.dart
flutter test frontend/test/lazy_message_dao_test.dart

Implementation Files Reference

Domain Backend File Frontend File Lines Tests
1. RAM Forensics backend/pkg/session/secure_manager.go - 280 5
2. Side-Channel - frontend/lib/crypto/secure_string.dart 320 4
3. Race Conditions - frontend/lib/crypto/conflict_aware_ratchet.dart 380 8
4. Hardware - frontend/lib/data/database/lazy_message_dao.dart 400 8

Total: ~1,760 lines of implementation + ~1,400 lines of tests = ~3,160 lines

Prerequisites

For Go tests:

# Install Go from: https://go.dev/dl/
# Windows: winget install GoLang.Go

# Verify installation
go version

For Flutter tests:

# Install Flutter from: https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install/windows
# Windows: via installer or scoop

# Verify installation
flutter --version

Quick Verification

To verify everything is set up correctly:

# Check Go
go version

# Check Flutter
flutter doctor

# Navigate to workspace
cd d:\ShadowCrypt

# List implementation files
dir backend/pkg/session/
dir backend/pkg/auth/
dir frontend/lib/crypto/
dir frontend/lib/data/

# List test files
dir frontend/test/

Complete Test Execution (After Setup)

cd d:\ShadowCrypt

# Primary command for all tests
flutter test && go test -v ./backend/pkg/...

# Or individually:
echo "=== DOMAIN 1: Memwipe ==="
go test -v ./backend/pkg/session/

echo "=== DOMAIN 2: Obfuscation ==="
flutter test frontend/test/secure_string_test.dart

echo "=== DOMAIN 3: Conflict Resolution ==="
flutter test frontend/test/conflict_aware_ratchet_test.dart

echo "=== DOMAIN 4: Lazy-Loading ==="
flutter test frontend/test/lazy_message_dao_test.dart

echo "=== DOMAIN 5: Challenge-Response ==="
go test -v ./backend/pkg/auth/

Success Indicators

Domain 1 (Memwipe):

  • ✅ Challenges: TestMemwipe tests show bytes zeroed to 0x00

Domain 2 (Obfuscation):

  • ✅ Tests: Widget tree shows masked strings, not plaintext

Domain 3 (Conflict Resolution):

  • ✅ Tests: Both parties independently reach same winner

Domain 4 (Lazy-Loading):

  • ✅ Tests: 20-message batches load without blocking

Domain 5 (Challenge-Response):

  • ✅ Tests: Invalid signatures rejected, valid ones verified

Troubleshooting

Go not found:

# Download and install from https://go.dev/dl/
# Or: winget install GoLang.Go
