Security

• Argon2id - for password key derivation.
• Reads You can specify the number of times a file can be read before it is destroyed from the server.
• TTL You can specify a Time-to-Live (TTL), indicating the duration after which your file will be automatically deleted from the server.

Privacy

• Every encryption of files and text is performed in the browser, not on the server side.
• If you choose to upload a file to the server, you can control when it is deleted from the server by setting parameters such as TTL (Time-to-Live) and Reads.
• No data is ever collected or transmitted to anyone on the server.
• If you prefer not to upload files to the server, you can download them to your computer and decrypt them using our website in your browser.

Functionality

• Secure random password generation.
• TTL (Time-to-Live) & Reads
• The server only receives encrypted files and text and never has access to your password.
• The app utilizes a service worker to perform encryption and decryption tasks, offloading them from the main thread.

Regionally Placed Bucket

• Regional Placed Buckets: Optimized for Speed and Privacy
• Our service automatically detects your location and spawns a bucket in your region for faster downloads and enhanced privacy. Unlike globally distributed storage, your files remain within your jurisdiction, ensuring greater control over your data's location and access.
• Every user request from different regions triggers the creation of a bucket in their respective region. This means that files are always stored locally, providing regional storage for each user and simplifying data management.
