- Implemented proper RFC 5869 compliant HKDF key derivation process
- Added Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) key for enhanced session security
- Improved key separation using unique info parameters for each derived key
- Enhanced salt size from 32 to 64 bytes for increased entropy
- Added comprehensive key validation and error handling
- Implemented proper ECDH + HKDF integration following Web Crypto API best practices
- Added metadata encryption key for enhanced data protection
- Improved compatibility with modern cryptographic standards (RFC 7748, NIST SP 800-56A)
 -Enhanced logging and debugging capabilities for cryptographic operations
- Maintained backward compatibility while upgrading security infrastructure
Security improvements:
- Cryptographic isolation between different key purposes
- Enhanced protection against cross-key attacks
- Improved resistance to future key compromise scenarios
- Better compliance with OWASP cryptographic storage guidelines
Technical details:
- Refactored deriveSharedKeys() method for proper HKDF implementation
- Updated WebRTC manager to use new messageKey API
- Added comprehensive error handling and validation
- Improved browser compatibility with standardized cryptographic operations
- This update strengthens the existing security foundation with modern cryptographic practices while maintaining full system compatibility.

### Layer 19: HKDF Key Derivation (RFC 5869 Compliant)
**Purpose:** RFC 5869 compliant key derivation with proper key separation and cryptographic security
**Technical Specifications:**
- **Standard:** RFC 5869 HMAC-based Extract-and-Expand Key Derivation Function
- **Hash Function:** SHA-256 for optimal compatibility and performance
- **Salt Security:** 64-byte cryptographically secure salt for each derivation
- **Key Separation:** Unique `info` parameters for each derived key type
- **Non-Extractable Keys:** Hardware-protected keys for enhanced security
**Implementation:**
```javascript
// HKDF key derivation with proper separation
const deriveSharedKeys = async (privateKey, publicKey, salt) => {
// Step 1: Pure ECDH derivation
const rawKeyMaterial = await crypto.subtle.deriveKey(
{ name: 'ECDH', public: publicKey },
privateKey,
{ name: 'AES-GCM', length: 256 },
true, // Extractable for HKDF processing
['encrypt', 'decrypt']
);
// Export and import for HKDF
const rawKeyData = await crypto.subtle.exportKey('raw', rawKeyMaterial);
const rawSharedSecret = await crypto.subtle.importKey(
'raw', rawKeyData,
{ name: 'HKDF', hash: 'SHA-256' },
false, ['deriveKey']
);
// Step 2: Derive specific keys with unique info parameters
const messageKey = await crypto.subtle.deriveKey(
{
name: 'HKDF',
hash: 'SHA-256',
salt: saltBytes,
info: encoder.encode('message-encryption-v4')
},
rawSharedSecret,
{ name: 'AES-GCM', length: 256 },
false, ['encrypt', 'decrypt']
);
// Additional keys derived with unique info parameters...
return { messageKey, macKey, pfsKey, metadataKey, fingerprint };
};
```
### Layer 18: EC Point Validation (Format & Structure Verification)
**Purpose:** Verification of elliptic curve point format and structure
