How It Works

Step-by-step explanation of secure data transmission principles from creation to destruction.

🔧

Operation process

✍️
1

Data input

You enter text or upload file in browser

Data remains in browser memory and is not sent to server

🔐
2

Encryption

Data is encrypted directly in your browser

AES-256-GCM is used with random key generated by Web Crypto API

🔗
3

Upload to server

Encrypted data is saved on server

Server receives only encrypted blob, key remains in browser

📱
4

Link creation

Unique link with decryption key is generated

Link contains record ID and encryption key in URL fragment

🔥
5

Retrieval and destruction

When link is accessed, data is decrypted and deleted

Decryption happens in recipient's browser, record is deleted from server

🛡️

Security features

🔐

AES-256 encryption

Banking standard data encryption

Each secret is encrypted with unique 256-bit key

🤐

Zero knowledge

Server never knows your data content

Encryption key never leaves your browser

🔥

One-time use

Link works only once

After first view, data is permanently deleted from server

Limited lifetime

Automatic destruction after set time

Even if link is not opened, data will be deleted after TTL expires

Try it yourself

Create first secure link and see how it works
