Confidence

What we see.
What we don't.

Confidence is built so we can't read your messages. Here is what that means, and what it doesn't.

We don't see

  • The content of your message
  • The file name
  • The password
  • The key that unlocks it

We see

  • Your email and your account
  • The size of the message
  • Its type: audio, image, note…
  • When it was sent and opened
  • A first name, if you give one to a recipient

What leaves your phone

When it's opened

The message is erased as soon as it has been opened.

When time runs out

Never opened, it erases itself.

At the eighth try

Eight wrong passwords, and it's gone.

What Confidence
doesn't do

Stop someone filming the screen

The content goes black as soon as the page loses focus. But no website can stop a system screenshot, or another phone filming.

Protect a hacked phone

If your device, or your recipient's, is compromised, whatever shows on it can be seen.

Make you anonymous

Your account exists and the server sees connections. Confidence protects the content, not the fact that you sent something.

Save a weak password

A password that's too simple, or sent with the link, doesn't protect much. Give it separately.

Escape the law

If the law asks us for information, we give what we have: what's listed above, never the content.

Work without trusting us

Encryption runs in the code our site sends to your browser. On that point, you have to trust us.

For the curious

Which encryption?

AES-256-GCM, in 4 MB pieces. The position of each piece is authenticated: they can't be reordered or removed.

How does the password become a key?

PBKDF2-SHA256, 310,000 rounds, with a random salt. Half of the result is the key. The other half is a proof, and the server only keeps its SHA-256 fingerprint.

What about the file name?

It's encrypted with the rest. The link only holds a random code, and the server only keeps its fingerprint.

Your turn to say it.
