Summary
This post details the implementation of a three-tiered encryption scheme (TEK, NEK, BEK) for team-based file encryption, addressing the challenge of fast file copies across teams. It introduces key caching for performance and a chain-of-custody system for integrity. The solution is also influencing encryption approaches for AI tools like Dropbox Dash.
