| Thank you for your feedback and for your detailed and interesting questions. How exactly are you handling encryption?
We don't require an account, your encryption keys are derivated from your password and nevers leave your device, also we have zero knowledge about user password. If the user will forget his password, we won't be able to restore/recover his access, this is one of the side effects of our security model. I want to add that we plan to open-source our encryption key management. What does “end to end encryption” mean in this case?
You absolutely right, in our case e2e means continuous encryption at all times. If you will back up your data on your iCloud your files will always be encrypted, in other words, your photos and videos are always encrypted except when you are using the app. In fact, even when you are using the app, will be decrypted only the requested file, and just some metadata like thumbnails are fully decrypted. How do you handle metadata?
We only use the minimum necessary metadata, to ensure the best user experience. For example, when users add photos or videos we generate internally a thumbnail that is smaller and faster to decrypt. How credible is a business model of €5/year/user for something that seems to require quite a bit of work to keep secure?
We are new in the market, and we need to compete with other big players that have more reviews and users. This is a great opportunity to subscribe I hope I have answered all your questions if you have any other just let me know, I will be happy to answer them. |
