ONE TIME SECRET LINK
How Secure is Our One Time Secret?
Our one-time secret link service ensures the highest level of security for your sensitive information through advanced encryption techniques and a robust mechanism designed to protect your data at every step.
Encryption and Security
We use authenticated AES-256-GCM (256-bit) encryption, the modern gold standard for cryptographic confidentiality and data integrity.
How Does It Work?
When you create a secret link, your data is encrypted and stored in our database along with a unique secret key. This key is used to generate a one-time URL. Here’s how the process works:
- Data Encryption: When you submit your secret, it is encrypted using authenticated AES-256-GCM encryption and stored securely.
- Unique URL Generation: A unique URL containing the secret key is generated for you to share with the recipient.
- Secure Access: When the recipient accesses the URL, the system decrypts the data using the secret key and displays the information.
- One-Time View: After the secret is accessed, the URL is invalidated, ensuring that the information can only be accessed once. If the link is accessed more than once, it is permanently deleted from the database.
Why Is It Important to Send Passwords and Sensitive Data Encrypted?
Sending passwords and sensitive data through unencrypted channels can expose your information to interception and unauthorized access. By using our encrypted one-time secret link service, you can ensure that your data is transmitted securely and can only be accessed by the intended recipient.
Expiration Links for Security
Our service allows you to set an expiration time for your secret links, ranging from 1 hour to 7 days. This adds an extra layer of security by ensuring that your sensitive information is only available for a limited period. Once the link expires, the data is automatically deleted from our database, ensuring that your information remains secure.
Additional Security Measures
Every secret link is strictly single-view (One-Time View) and protected against automated chat preview bots. As soon as the recipient clicks "Reveal Secret", the encrypted record is permanently deleted from our database.
