🦭 Flipper - RBAC for Seal

Inspiration

While exploring MystenLabs's innovative Seal decentralized secrets management (DSM) service, I recognized the need for an intuitive permission management that works at scale. Seal's powerful identity-based encryption provides the perfect foundation for next-generation role-based access control, which inspired Flipper—permission management reimagined for the decentralized era.

What it does

Flipper provides a comprehensive role-based authentication system built on Seal that enables:

File-scoped permissions with granular access controls
Individual user permission management
Group-based permission structures for organizational scaling

How we built it

Flipper is built on a modern, high-performance stack:

Next.js frontend for an intuitive admin interface
Move smart contracts for on-chain permission verification
Seal's identity-based encryption for secure key management
Blood, sweat and Sui

Challenges we ran into

It was difficult to gain a conceptual understanding of Identity-based encryption given the time frame. I had to think very carefully about my design to ensure scalability and security.
