Secure & private communications

End-to-end encryption is easy to claim and very hard to get right. We engineer it properly — built on MLS, with a server that genuinely can't read your users' data.

The hard truth

Most “encrypted” apps still trust the server.

True end-to-end encryption — especially for groups, multi-device and recovery — is one of the hardest problems in software. Get a detail wrong and the guarantee quietly disappears. It's a rare skill, and it's exactly what we do.

What we build

Encryption that holds up to scrutiny

The complete secure-communications stack — designed so the math, not the policy, protects your users.

End-to-end encryption

Messaging and calls encrypted on the device, decryptable only by intended recipients — built on the IETF MLS standard for modern group security.

Server-blind architecture

The server routes ciphertext and never holds keys or plaintext. Even a full server breach exposes nothing readable.

Key management & rotation

Forward secrecy and post-compromise security with automated key rotation, device management and safe re-keying.

Secure group messaging

Efficient, scalable encrypted group chats with cryptographically enforced membership — MLS is built for groups, not just 1:1.

Multi-device & recovery

Seamless multi-device sync and account recovery flows that preserve the security guarantees instead of breaking them.

Auditability & compliance

Tamper-evident audit trails and controls mapped to HIPAA, GDPR and financial regulations — without weakening encryption.

Our approach

The server stays blind — by design.

Keys live on user devices. The backend only ever sees and forwards ciphertext, so there's no plaintext to leak, subpoena or sell. This is the architecture we've already built — encryption handled entirely on the clients, with the server kept out of the trust boundary.

Who needs this

For the industries where privacy isn't optional

When confidentiality is a legal or competitive requirement, server-blind encryption is the only safe answer.

Healthcare

HIPAA-grade patient messaging, secure telehealth and PHI-safe collaboration.

Financial services

Confidential client comms, deal rooms and regulator-ready audit trails.

Legal & professional

Privileged communications that stay private — even from the platform.

Government & defense

Sovereign, on-prem deployments where data must never leave your control.

Need communications you can actually trust?

Whether it's a regulated product or a sovereign deployment, we'll design encryption that stands up to audits and adversaries alike.
