Encryption Details
Learn about the advanced encryption technology that keeps your data secure.
Zero Knowledge End-to-End Encryption
LinkDrop uses zero knowledge end-to-end encryption (AES-256) to ensure that your data remains completely private and secure. Here's what this means:
What We Can't See
- •Your library contents
- •Your file names or descriptions
- •Your personal data
- •Your access patterns
What We Can See
- •Encrypted data blobs
- •Anonymous usage statistics
- •System performance metrics
- •Security logs (no personal data)
How It Works
Client-Side Encryption
Your data is encrypted on your device using AES-256 before being sent to our servers.
Secure Transmission
Encrypted data is transmitted over HTTPS to our secure servers.
Encrypted Storage
Data remains encrypted on our servers - we never have access to your encryption keys.
Client-Side Decryption
When you access your data, it's decrypted on your device using your keys.
Verify Our Encryption
You can verify this by checking the network monitor in your browser and examining the data sent to our servers. Nothing is sent in plaintext.
How to Verify:
- 1.Open your browser's Developer Tools (F12)
- 2.Go to the Network tab
- 3.Use LinkDrop to create or access a library
- 4.Examine the network requests - you'll see only encrypted data
Open Source: Our encryption implementation is transparent and can be audited. We believe in security through transparency, not obscurity.
