🔐 Privacy & End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) in Drawio

Drawio is built with privacy by design to ensure that no sensitive drawing data can be accessed by anyone other than the intended participants.

🔒 Client-Side Only Decryption

• All encrypted drawing data is transmitted over WebSocket.
• The decryption and rendering happen completely on the client-side using the key from the URL.
• Even if someone intercepts the WebSocket traffic, they cannot decrypt the data without the key.

🛡️ Benefits

• No one — not even the server — can read what’s drawn in a room without the key.
• Ensures confidentiality for private brainstorming, teaching, or design sessions.
• Works like Excalidraw's E2EE rooms, but tailored for your collaborative drawing logic.

🧠 Reliability

• Message Queue: Stores unsent messages in memory/localStorage
• Auto Retry: Flushes queued messages on reconnect

🧭 Modes

• Standalone Mode: Offline/local drawing
• Room Mode: Collaborative sessions

⚙️ Tech Stack
