If you can't answer these you don't have a consistent security model.
Combine that with a complex security architecture and you've spent a
lot of time and effort developing something which is not fit for

Anything decrypted on the server is susceptible to detection by
someone controlling the server. Any data sent to / from the server is
susceptible to detection.
