WHY USE CIPHERDROP?
In a world of data breaches and relentless surveillance, CipherDrop offers a single-use, self-destructing channel for your most sensitive information. Below are real-world scenarios where CipherDrop keeps you safe.
[01] Share Sensitive Credentials Safely
The Problem
Sending a Wi-Fi password, temporary login, API key, or social security number via email or chat leaves copies forever in inboxes, backups, and server logs.
[02] Protect Messages on a Compromised or Shared Device
The Problem
You suspect the recipient's device is monitored or shared. A normal message would be stored and readable by anyone with access.
[03] Ensure "Off the Record" Conversations Stay That Way
The Problem
Encrypted messengers still keep full chat histories on devices. Seized or compromised devices expose the entire conversation.
[04] The Ultimate Secure Two-Channel Communication (Digital Dead Drop)
The Problem
How do you send information so securely that even if one channel is compromised, the message remains safe?
[05] Control the "When" and "Where" of Your Message (Physical Handoff)
The Problem
You need to share something, but timing or setting isn't right. Email or chat creates a permanent record.
[06] Defeat Data Retention & Government Backdoors
The Problem
Services can be forced to hand over stored data or build scanning backdoors.
[07] Professional Confidentiality (Journalists, Lawyers, Activists)
The Problem
Professionals must share sensitive info without creating subpoena-able records.
The CipherDrop Solution
CipherDrop is a single-use channel for your most sensitive data. Notes are encrypted in the browser, stored only as ciphertext, and destroyed automatically after the first read or at a strict unread Time-to-Live (TTL). No plain-text ever touches our servers; no backups, inboxes, or chat logs can subpoena what never existed. Whether you’re sharing credentials, operating on a compromised device, coordinating dual-channel drops, or bypassing data-retention laws, one simple mechanism (client-side encryption plus self-destructing links) neutralizes every threat above. Create, share, relax: when the link is accessed, the evidence disappears.
