AGEX Bundle Diff

Compare two AGEX bundles and highlight metadata or protection-setting differences

Details

What this tool helps you do

This tool helps with review and audit work. It shows where two AGEX bundles differ in visible metadata, KDF presets, signer information, and low-level protection inputs such as salt, nonce, or ciphertext changes.

Overview

The AGEX Bundle Diff tool allows security auditors and developers to compare two AGEX bundles side-by-side, highlighting differences in metadata, KDF presets, signer information, and low-level protection inputs like salt, nonce, or ciphertext.

When to use

When auditing security policy changes between two versions of an AGEX bundle.

When verifying if a redistributed AGEX file has altered KDF parameters or signer signatures.

When troubleshooting decryption issues by checking if the ciphertext, salt, or nonce has changed.

How it works

1Upload the original AGEX bundle file as the Left Bundle File.
2Upload the modified or comparison AGEX bundle file as the Right Bundle File.
3Run the comparison to generate a JSON report detailing differences in metadata fields, KDF limits, and cryptographic parameters.

Use cases

Auditing KDF parameter changes (e.g., moderate vs. sensitive) between bundle revisions.
Verifying signer identity and signature integrity across redistributed files.
Detecting unauthorized modifications to salt, nonce, or ciphertext in a bundle.

Examples

1. Auditing Security Policy Upgrades

Security Auditor

Background

A security team upgraded their encryption policy to use stronger KDF settings for their AGEX bundles.

Problem

The auditor needs to verify that the new bundle version actually uses the 'sensitive' KDF opslimit instead of the old 'moderate' setting.

How to use

Upload the original bundle as the Left Bundle File and the upgraded bundle as the Right Bundle File, then run the comparison.

Outcome

The tool outputs a JSON diff showing that kdf.opslimit changed from moderate to sensitive.

2. Verifying Signer Integrity

Release Engineer

Background

A release engineer is distributing an AGEX bundle and wants to ensure the signer information was not altered during transit.

Problem

Confirming that the signer ID and signature metadata match the original release bundle exactly.

How to use

Upload the reference release bundle and the distributed bundle to compare their signer metadata.

Outcome

The comparison confirms zero differences in the signer fields, validating the bundle's integrity.

FAQ

What file formats does this tool support?

It supports AGEX bundle files, typically in JSON format.

Can I detect changes in the encryption key settings?

Yes, the tool highlights differences in KDF presets, including opslimit and memlimit.

Does this tool compare the actual decrypted file contents?

No, it compares the metadata, signer information, and low-level protection inputs of the bundles.

What low-level cryptographic fields are compared?

It compares differences in salt, nonce, and ciphertext values.

Is my bundle data uploaded to a public server?

No, the comparison is processed securely to ensure your cryptographic metadata remains private.
