Zero-Storage Auth vs Traditional JWT: Why Relational Password Tables are Obsolete

Over 80% of data breaches involve stolen credentials from compromised user tables. Even bcrypt and Argon2 hashes can be cracked offline if a database leaks.

LuxurAI operates on a Zero-Storage Authentication model: our database physically does not contain a password column.

How It Works

  1. When authenticating, an ephemeral 384-bit cryptographic entropy challenge is generated.
  2. The token is HMAC-signed with a rolling secret key and verified in an in-memory sliding window.
  3. The moment the token is exchanged for a session, it is irreversibly burned.

Even if an attacker dumps our entire SQLite or PostgreSQL database, there are zero user passwords to steal.
