Ghost Message Features: Secure Sharing with Privacy Guarantees
Ghost Message combines powerful encryption, ephemeral storage, and user-friendly design to create the most secure way to share sensitive information. Discover how our features protect your confidential data at every step.
Core Security Features
End-to-End Encryption
All secrets are encrypted in your browser using AES-256 encryption before transmission. The encryption key never leaves your device, ensuring that even we cannot access your sensitive information. This zero-knowledge approach means your data remains private from creation to viewing.
Self-Destructing Links
Every secret link automatically self-destructs after being viewed (by default) or after reaching its expiration time. This "burn after reading" functionality ensures your sensitive information doesn't remain accessible indefinitely, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
Ephemeral Storage
Your encrypted data is stored only temporarily in secure, volatile memory. We don't use persistent databases for secrets, minimizing the risk of data exposure. Once a secret is viewed or expires, it's permanently deleted from our systems.
Privacy & Control Features
No Accounts Required
Ghost Message doesn't require registration or accounts, preserving your anonymity. No personal information is collected or associated with your encrypted data, ensuring complete privacy for both senders and recipients.
Customizable Expiration
Set how long your secret link remains valid, from as little as 5 minutes to as long as 7 days. For highly sensitive information, shorter expiration times provide additional security by limiting the window of potential access.
Adjustable View Limits
Choose whether your link can be viewed just once (maximum security) or multiple times (for when you need to share with multiple recipients). You control exactly how many times your secret can be accessed before it self-destructs.
Advanced Security Features
Manual Burn Option
Need to revoke access immediately? The "burn" feature lets you manually destroy a secret before it's viewed or expires, giving you complete control over your sensitive information at all times.
URL Fragment Encryption Key
The decryption key is stored in the URL fragment (the part after the # symbol), which is never sent to our servers. This ensures that only someone with the complete link can decrypt and access your information.
No Logs Policy
We maintain minimal logs and never log the content of your encrypted messages or decryption keys. This ensures that even in the unlikely event of a security breach, your sensitive information remains protected.
Usability Features
Simple, Clean Interface
Ghost Message features an intuitive, distraction-free interface that makes secure sharing accessible to everyone, not just security experts. Create and share encrypted links in seconds with no technical knowledge required.
Mobile-Friendly Design
Create and access secure links from any device. Our responsive design works seamlessly on desktops, tablets, and smartphones, ensuring you can share sensitive information securely wherever you are.
No Software Installation
Ghost Message works entirely in your web browser – no apps to download, no plugins to install. This makes it ideal for quick, secure sharing without requiring recipients to install special software.
