The model combines raw text embeddings with hand-crafted features:

Entropy: Shannon entropy of value and key
Length: value length, key length, line length
Key patterns: ALL_CAPS, contains SECRET/KEY/TOKEN/PASSWORD, word count
Value patterns: hex, base64, UUID, IP, URL, numeric, boolean, common word
API prefixes: sk_live_, ghp_, AKIA, hf_, npm_, etc.
Special formats: private key, JWT, @ in value, mixed case, digit/alpha ratios

Accuracy by Category

21 of 22 categories at 100%. The only miss: 1 of 4 connection strings misclassified (the model needs @ + password patterns in URIs to be more distinctive).

Quick Start

ONNX (recommended)

pip install onnxruntime transformers

python

import onnxruntime as ort
import numpy as np
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

# Load
session = ort.InferenceSession("keizen1_int8.onnx")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("keizen1")

def predict(line):
    enc = tokenizer(line, max_length=64, padding="max_length",
                    truncation=True, return_tensors="np")
    feats = compute_features(line)  # see benchmark.py
    fv = np.array([[feats[k] for k in FEATURE_NAMES]], dtype=np.float32)

    logits = session.run(None, {
        "input_ids": enc["input_ids"].astype(np.int64),
        "attention_mask": enc["attention_mask"].astype(np.int64),
        "features": fv,
    })[0]

    probs = np.exp(logits) / np.exp(logits).sum(axis=1, keepdims=True)
    pred = int(np.argmax(probs))
    return {
        "label": ["NON_SENSITIVE", "SECRET"][pred],
        "confidence": float(probs[0][pred]),
        "is_secret": pred == 1,
    }

# Usage
predict("PORT=3000")
# {'label': 'NON_SENSITIVE', 'confidence': 0.9991, 'is_secret': False}

predict("STRIPE_API_KEY=sk_live_51Nzabc123...")
# {'label': 'SECRET', 'confidence': 0.9847, 'is_secret': True}

PyTorch / SafeTensors

python

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
import torch

model = KeiZen1.from_pretrained("keizen1")  # see notebook for class definition
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("keizen1")

        +---> ONNX INT8  (4.3 MB)

The model was trained on 24,000 synthetic .env lines (12K SECRET + 12K NON_SENSITIVE):

Secrets: 100+ API key patterns (Stripe, AWS, GitHub, OpenAI, etc.), JWT tokens, passwords, private keys, DB connection strings, high-entropy strings
Non-sensitive: ports, environments, hosts, feature flags, timeouts, log levels, booleans, paths, regions, protocols

Train it yourself:

bash

pip install torch transformers scikit-learn onnx onnxruntime
jupyter notebook secret_detector.ipynb
