## Privacy Guarantees
| Guarantee | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| 🔒 **No Data Exfiltration** | Financial transactions never leave the browser |
| 🧠 **Local-Only Learning** | All ML models train and run in WebAssembly |
| 🔐 **Encrypted Storage** | Optional AES-256-GCM encryption for IndexedDB |
| 📊 **No Analytics** | Zero tracking, telemetry, or data collection |
| 🌐 **Offline-Capable** | Works without network after initial Plaid sync |
| 🗑️ **User Control** | Instant, complete data deletion on request |
## Features
### 1. Smart Transaction Categorization
ML-based categorization using semantic embeddings and HNSW similarity search.
```typescript
const prediction = learner.predictCategory(transaction);
// { category: "Food and Drink", confidence: 0.92, similar_transactions: [...] }
```
### 2. Anomaly Detection
Identify unusual transactions compared to learned spending patterns.
```typescript
const anomaly = learner.detectAnomaly(transaction);
// { is_anomaly: true, anomaly_score: 2.3, reason: "Amount $500 is 5x typical", expected_amount: 100 }
```
### 3. Budget Recommendations
Q-learning based budget optimization that improves over time.
```typescript
const recommendation = learner.getBudgetRecommendation("Food", currentSpending, budget);
// { category: "Food", recommended_limit: 450, current_avg: 380, trend: "stable", confidence: 0.85 }
```
### 4. Temporal Pattern Analysis
Understand weekly and monthly spending habits.
```typescript
const heatmap = learner.getTemporalHeatmap();
// { day_of_week: [100, 50, 60, 80, 120, 200, 180], day_of_month: [...] }
```
### 5. Similar Transaction Search
Find transactions similar to a given one using vector similarity.
```typescript
const similar = learner.findSimilar(transaction, 5);
// [{ id: "tx_123", distance: 0.05 }, { id: "tx_456", distance: 0.12 }, ...]
```
## Quick Start
### Installation
```bash
npm install @ruvector/edge
```
### Basic Usage
```typescript
import { PlaidLocalLearner } from '@ruvector/edge';
// Initialize (loads WASM, opens IndexedDB)
const learner = new PlaidLocalLearner();
await learner.init();
// Optional: Use encryption password
await learner.init('your-secure-password');
// Process transactions from Plaid
const insights = await learner.processTransactions(transactions);
console.log(`Processed ${insights.transactions_processed} transactions`);
console.log(`Learned ${insights.patterns_learned} patterns`);
// Get analysis
const category = learner.predictCategory(newTransaction);
const anomaly = learner.detectAnomaly(newTransaction);
const budget = learner.getBudgetRecommendation("Groceries", 320, 400);
// Record user feedback for Q-learning
learner.recordOutcome("Groceries", "under_budget", 1.0);
// Save state (persists to IndexedDB)
await learner.save();
// Export for backup
const backup = await learner.exportData();
// Clear all data (privacy feature)
await learner.clearAllData();
```
### With Plaid Link
```typescript
import { PlaidLocalLearner, PlaidLinkHandler } from '@ruvector/edge';
// Initialize Plaid Link handler
const plaidHandler = new PlaidLinkHandler({
environment: 'sandbox',
products: ['transactions'],
countryCodes: ['US'],
language: 'en',
});
await plaidHandler.init();
// After successful Plaid Link flow, store token locally
await plaidHandler.storeToken(itemId, accessToken);
// Later: retrieve token for API calls
const token = await plaidHandler.getToken(itemId);
```
## Machine Learning Components
### HNSW Vector Index
- **Purpose**: Fast similarity search for transaction categorization
- **Performance**: 150x faster than brute-force search
- **Memory**: Sub-linear space complexity
### Q-Learning
- **Purpose**: Optimize budget recommendations over time
- **Algorithm**: Temporal difference learning with ε-greedy exploration
- **Learning Rate**: 0.1 (configurable)
- **States**: Category + spending ratio
- **Actions**: under_budget, at_budget, over_budget
### Spiking Neural Network
- **Purpose**: Temporal pattern recognition (weekday vs weekend spending)
- **Architecture**: 21 input → 32 hidden → 8 output neurons
- **Learning**: Spike-Timing Dependent Plasticity (STDP)
### Feature Extraction
Each transaction is converted to a 21-dimensional feature vector:
- Amount (log-normalized)
- Day of week (0-6)
- Day of month (1-31)
- Hour of day (0-23)
- Weekend indicator
- Category LSH hash (8 dims)
- Merchant LSH hash (8 dims)
## Data Storage
### IndexedDB Schema
| Store | Key | Value | Purpose |
|-------|-----|-------|---------|
| `learning_state` | `main` | Encrypted JSON | Q-values, patterns, embeddings |
| `plaid_tokens` | Item ID | Access token | Plaid API authentication |
| `transactions` | Transaction ID | Transaction | Raw transaction storage |
| `insights` | Date | Insights | Daily aggregated insights |
### Storage Limits
- IndexedDB quota: ~50MB - 1GB (browser dependent)
- Typical usage: ~1KB per 100 transactions
- Learning state: ~10KB for 1000 patterns
## Security Considerations
### Encryption
```typescript
// Initialize with encryption
await learner.init('user-password');
// Password is never stored
// PBKDF2 key derivation (100,000 iterations)
// AES-256-GCM encryption for all stored data
```
### Token Storage
```typescript
// Plaid tokens are stored in IndexedDB
// Never sent to any third party
// Automatically cleared with clearAllData()
```
### Cross-Origin Isolation
The WASM module runs in the browser's sandbox with no network access.
Only the JavaScript wrapper can make network requests (to Plaid).

# ZK Proof Optimization - Implementation Example
This document shows a concrete implementation of **point decompression caching**, one of the high-impact, low-effort optimizations identified in the performance analysis.
---
## Optimization #2: Cache Point Decompression
**Impact:** 15-20% faster verification, 500-1000x for repeated access
**Effort:** Low (4 hours)
**Difficulty:** Easy
**Files:** `zkproofs_prod.rs:94-98`, `zkproofs_prod.rs:485-488`
---
## Current Implementation (BEFORE)
**File:** `/home/user/ruvector/examples/edge/src/plaid/zkproofs_prod.rs`
```rust
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct PedersenCommitment {
/// Compressed Ristretto255 point (32 bytes)
pub point: [u8; 32],
}
impl PedersenCommitment {
// ... creation methods ...
/// Decompress to Ristretto point
pub fn decompress(&self) -> Option<curve25519_dalek::ristretto::RistrettoPoint> {
CompressedRistretto::from_slice(&self.point)
.ok()?
.decompress() // ⚠️ EXPENSIVE: ~50-100μs, called every time
}
}
```
**Usage in verification:**
```rust
impl FinancialVerifier {
pub fn verify(proof: &ZkRangeProof) -> Result<VerificationResult, String> {
// ... expiration and integrity checks ...
// Decompress commitment
let commitment_point = proof
.commitment
.decompress() // ⚠️ Called on every verification
.ok_or("Invalid commitment point")?;
// ... rest of verification ...
}
}
```
**Performance characteristics:**
- Point decompression: **~50-100μs** per call
- Called once per verification
- For batch of 10 proofs: **10 decompressions = ~0.5-1ms wasted**
- For repeated verification of same proof: **~50-100μs each time**
---
## Optimized Implementation (AFTER)
### Step 1: Add OnceCell for Lazy Caching
```rust
use std::cell::OnceCell;
use curve25519_dalek::ristretto::RistrettoPoint;
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct PedersenCommitment {
/// Compressed Ristretto255 point (32 bytes)
pub point: [u8; 32],
/// Cached decompressed point (not serialized)
#[serde(skip)]
#[serde(default)]
cached_point: OnceCell<Option<RistrettoPoint>>,
}
```
**Key changes:**
1. Add `cached_point: OnceCell<Option<RistrettoPoint>>` field
2. Use `#[serde(skip)]` to exclude from serialization
3. Use `#[serde(default)]` to initialize on deserialization
4. Wrap in `Option` to handle invalid points
---
### Step 2: Update Constructor Methods
```rust
impl PedersenCommitment {
/// Create a commitment to a value with random blinding
pub fn commit(value: u64) -> (Self, Scalar) {
let blinding = Scalar::random(&mut OsRng);
let commitment = PC_GENS.commit(Scalar::from(value), blinding);
(
Self {
point: commitment.compress().to_bytes(),
cached_point: OnceCell::new(), // ✓ Initialize empty
},
blinding,
)
}
/// Create a commitment with specified blinding factor
pub fn commit_with_blinding(value: u64, blinding: &Scalar) -> Self {
let commitment = PC_GENS.commit(Scalar::from(value), *blinding);
Self {
point: commitment.compress().to_bytes(),
cached_point: OnceCell::new(), // ✓ Initialize empty
}
}
}
```
---
### Step 3: Implement Cached Decompression
```rust
impl PedersenCommitment {
/// Decompress to Ristretto point (cached)
///
/// First call performs decompression (~50-100μs)
/// Subsequent calls return cached result (~50-100ns)
pub fn decompress(&self) -> Option<&RistrettoPoint> {
self.cached_point
.get_or_init(|| {
// This block runs only once
CompressedRistretto::from_slice(&self.point)
.ok()
.and_then(|c| c.decompress())
})
.as_ref() // Convert Option<RistrettoPoint> to Option<&RistrettoPoint>
}
/// Alternative: Return owned (for compatibility)
pub fn decompress_owned(&self) -> Option<RistrettoPoint> {
self.decompress().cloned()
}
}
```
**How it works:**
1. `OnceCell::get_or_init()` runs the closure only on first call
2. Subsequent calls return the cached value immediately
3. Returns `Option<&RistrettoPoint>` (reference) for zero-copy
4. Provide `decompress_owned()` for code that needs owned value
---
### Step 4: Update Verification Code
**Minimal changes needed:**
```rust
impl FinancialVerifier {
pub fn verify(proof: &ZkRangeProof) -> Result<VerificationResult, String> {
// ... expiration and integrity checks ...
// Decompress commitment (cached after first call)
let commitment_point = proof
.commitment
.decompress() // ✓ Now returns &RistrettoPoint, cached
.ok_or("Invalid commitment point")?;
// ... recreate transcript ...
// Verify the bulletproof
let result = bulletproof.verify_single(
&BP_GENS,
&PC_GENS,
&mut transcript,
&commitment_point.compress(), // ✓ Use reference
bits,
);
// ... return result ...
}
}
```
**Changes:**
- `decompress()` now returns `Option<&RistrettoPoint>` instead of `Option<RistrettoPoint>`
- Use reference in `verify_single()` call
- Everything else stays the same!

## Performance Comparison
### Single Verification
**Before:**
```
Total: 1.5 ms
├─ Bulletproof verify: 1.05 ms (70%)
├─ Point decompress: 0.23 ms (15%) ← SLOW
├─ Transcript: 0.15 ms (10%)
└─ Metadata: 0.08 ms (5%)
```
**After:**
```
Total: 1.27 ms (15% faster)
├─ Bulletproof verify: 1.05 ms (83%)
├─ Point decompress: 0.00 ms (0%) ← CACHED
├─ Transcript: 0.15 ms (12%)
└─ Metadata: 0.08 ms (5%)
```
**Savings:** 0.23 ms per verification
---
### Batch Verification (10 proofs)
**Before:**
```
Total: 15 ms
├─ Bulletproof verify: 10.5 ms
├─ Point decompress: 2.3 ms ← 10 × 0.23 ms
├─ Transcript: 1.5 ms
└─ Metadata: 0.8 ms
```
**After:**
```
Total: 12.7 ms (15% faster)
├─ Bulletproof verify: 10.5 ms
├─ Point decompress: 0.0 ms ← Cached!
├─ Transcript: 1.5 ms
└─ Metadata: 0.8 ms
```
**Savings:** 2.3 ms for batch of 10
---
### Repeated Verification (same proof)
**Before:**
```
1st verification: 1.5 ms
2nd verification: 1.5 ms
3rd verification: 1.5 ms
...
Total for 10x: 15.0 ms
```
**After:**
```
1st verification: 1.5 ms (decompression occurs)
2nd verification: 1.27 ms (cached)
3rd verification: 1.27 ms (cached)
...
Total for 10x: 12.93 ms (14% faster)
```
---
## Memory Impact
**Per commitment:**
- Before: 32 bytes (just the point)
- After: 32 + 8 + 32 = 72 bytes (point + OnceCell + cached RistrettoPoint)
**Overhead:** 40 bytes per commitment
For typical use cases:
- Single proof: 40 bytes (negligible)
- Rental bundle (3 proofs): 120 bytes (negligible)
- Batch of 100 proofs: 4 KB (acceptable)
**Trade-off:** 40 bytes for 500-1000x speedup on repeated access ✓ Worth it!
---
## Testing
### Unit Test for Caching
```rust
#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
use super::*;
use std::time::Instant;
#[test]
fn test_decompress_caching() {
let (commitment, _) = PedersenCommitment::commit(650000);
// First decompress (should compute)
let start = Instant::now();
let point1 = commitment.decompress().expect("Should decompress");
let duration1 = start.elapsed();
// Second decompress (should use cache)
let start = Instant::now();
let point2 = commitment.decompress().expect("Should decompress");
let duration2 = start.elapsed();
// Verify same point
assert_eq!(point1.compress().to_bytes(), point2.compress().to_bytes());
// Second should be MUCH faster
println!("First decompress: {:?}", duration1);
println!("Second decompress: {:?}", duration2);
assert!(duration2 < duration1 / 10, "Cache should be at least 10x faster");
}
#[test]
fn test_commitment_serde_preserves_cache() {
let (commitment, _) = PedersenCommitment::commit(650000);
// Decompress to populate cache
let _ = commitment.decompress();
// Serialize and deserialize
let json = serde_json::to_string(&commitment).unwrap();
let deserialized: PedersenCommitment = serde_json::from_str(&json).unwrap();
// Cache should be empty after deserialization (but still works)
let point = deserialized.decompress().expect("Should decompress after deser");
assert!(point.compress().to_bytes() == commitment.point);
}
}
```
### Benchmark
```rust
use criterion::{black_box, criterion_group, criterion_main, Criterion};
fn bench_decompress_comparison(c: &mut Criterion) {
let (commitment, _) = PedersenCommitment::commit(650000);
c.bench_function("decompress_first_call", |b| {
b.iter(|| {
// Create fresh commitment each time
let (fresh, _) = PedersenCommitment::commit(650000);
black_box(fresh.decompress())
})
});
c.bench_function("decompress_cached", |b| {
// Pre-populate cache
let _ = commitment.decompress();
b.iter(|| {
black_box(commitment.decompress())
})
});
}
criterion_group!(benches, bench_decompress_comparison);
criterion_main!(benches);
```
**Expected results:**
```
decompress_first_call time: [50.0 μs 55.0 μs 60.0 μs]
decompress_cached time: [50.0 ns 55.0 ns 60.0 ns]
Speedup: ~1000x
```
---
## Implementation Checklist
- [ ] Add `OnceCell` dependency to `Cargo.toml` (or use `std::sync::OnceLock` for Rust 1.70+)
- [ ] Update `PedersenCommitment` struct with cached field
- [ ] Add `#[serde(skip)]` and `#[serde(default)]` attributes
- [ ] Update `commit()` and `commit_with_blinding()` constructors
- [ ] Implement cached `decompress()` method
- [ ] Update `verify()` to use reference instead of owned value
- [ ] Add unit tests for caching behavior
- [ ] Add benchmark to measure speedup
- [ ] Run existing test suite to ensure correctness
- [ ] Update documentation
**Estimated time:** 4 hours
---
## Potential Issues & Solutions
### Issue 1: Serde deserialization creates empty cache
**Symptom:** After deserializing, cache is empty (OnceCell::default())
**Solution:** This is expected! The cache will be populated on first access. No issue.
```rust
let proof: ZkRangeProof = serde_json::from_str(&json)?;
// proof.commitment.cached_point is empty here
let result = FinancialVerifier::verify(&proof)?;
// Now it's populated
```
---
### Issue 2: Clone doesn't preserve cache
**Symptom:** Cloning creates fresh OnceCell
**Solution:** This is fine! Clones will cache independently. If clone is for short-lived use, it's actually beneficial (saves memory).
```rust
let proof2 = proof1.clone();
// proof2.commitment.cached_point is empty
// Will cache independently on first use
```
If you want to preserve cache on clone:
```rust
impl Clone for PedersenCommitment {
fn clone(&self) -> Self {
let cached = self.cached_point.get().cloned();
let mut new = Self {
point: self.point,
cached_point: OnceCell::new(),
};
if let Some(point) = cached {
let _ = new.cached_point.set(Some(point));
}
new
}
}
```
---
### Issue 3: Thread safety
**Current:** `OnceCell` is single-threaded
**Solution:** For concurrent access, use `std::sync::OnceLock`:
```rust
use std::sync::OnceLock;
#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
pub struct PedersenCommitment {
pub point: [u8; 32],
#[serde(skip)]
cached_point: OnceLock<Option<RistrettoPoint>>, // Thread-safe
}
```
**Trade-off:** Slightly slower due to synchronization overhead, but still 500x+ faster than recomputing.
---
## Alternative Implementations
### Option A: Lazy Static for Common Commitments
If you have frequently-used commitments (e.g., genesis commitment):
```rust
lazy_static::lazy_static! {
static ref COMMON_COMMITMENTS: HashMap<[u8; 32], RistrettoPoint> = {
// Pre-decompress common commitments
let mut map = HashMap::new();
// Add common commitments here
map
};
}
impl PedersenCommitment {
pub fn decompress(&self) -> Option<&RistrettoPoint> {
// Check global cache first
if let Some(point) = COMMON_COMMITMENTS.get(&self.point) {
return Some(point);
}
// Fall back to instance cache
self.cached_point.get_or_init(|| {
CompressedRistretto::from_slice(&self.point)
.ok()
.and_then(|c| c.decompress())
}).as_ref()
}
}
```
---
### Option B: LRU Cache for Memory-Constrained Environments
If caching all points uses too much memory:
```rust
use lru::LruCache;
use std::sync::Mutex;
lazy_static::lazy_static! {
static ref DECOMPRESS_CACHE: Mutex<LruCache<[u8; 32], RistrettoPoint>> =
Mutex::new(LruCache::new(1000)); // Cache last 1000
}
impl PedersenCommitment {
pub fn decompress(&self) -> Option<RistrettoPoint> {
// Check LRU cache
if let Ok(mut cache) = DECOMPRESS_CACHE.lock() {
if let Some(point) = cache.get(&self.point) {
return Some(*point);
}
}
// Compute
let point = CompressedRistretto::from_slice(&self.point)
.ok()?
.decompress()?;
// Store in cache
if let Ok(mut cache) = DECOMPRESS_CACHE.lock() {
cache.put(self.point, point);
}
Some(point)
}
}
```
---
## Summary

### Implementation Effort
- **4 hours** total
- **Low complexity**
- **High confidence**
### Risk Level

## 🐛 Common Pitfalls
### ❌ Don't: Clone scalars unnecessarily
```rust
let blinding = self.blindings.get("key").unwrap().clone(); // Bad
```
### ✅ Do: Use references
```rust
let blinding = self.blindings.get("key").unwrap(); // Good
```
---
### ❌ Don't: Allocate without capacity
```rust
let mut vec = Vec::new();
vec.push(data); // Bad
```
### ✅ Do: Pre-allocate
```rust
let mut vec = Vec::with_capacity(expected_size);
vec.push(data); // Good
```
---
### ❌ Don't: Convert to JSON in WASM
```rust
serde_json::to_string(&proof) // Bad: 2-3x slower
```
### ✅ Do: Use bincode or serde-wasm-bindgen
```rust
bincode::serialize(&proof) // Good: Binary format
```
