Vaults Don't Leak Secrets,
Humans Do.

Secrets are safe at rest. They become vulnerable the moment they're shared in Slack, Jira, email, GitHub, CI/CD, or with vendors and partners.

Cipher+ secures the last mile of secret exchange, where breaches actually happen.

A New Business Outcome

The ciphertext is either opened or expires, but the custody trail remains permanent.

Each exchange generates a cryptographically verifiable, non-repudiable transaction.

The Last-Mile Security Gap

Secrets are safe inside vaults, but that protection ends the moment they move. Once they enter chat, email, tickets, terminals, or shared docs, they become micro-assets — and the security model stops at the vault's edge. No visibility. No audit trail. No last-mile security.

Where Shadow Data Emerges

Micro-assets move through tools never built for sensitive data — and real people do what real work demands:

Chat Platforms

Teams & Slack Pings: API keys pasted into searchable chat history.

Support Threads: Screenshots that expose tokens, configs, and internal dashboards.

Email

Everyday Email: The world's largest repository of unencrypted secrets.

Temporary Tokens: Shared for a moment, quietly becoming permanent.

Personal Storage

Notes & Browsers: Secrets stashed in notes, autofill, and inboxes to avoid losing them.

The "Drop" Folder: SSL certs abandoned in shared network drives.

These aren't edge cases — they're everyday workflows, and you cannot track what you cannot see.

Trust That Moves

Modern work depends on micro-assets moving — between people, systems, and tools.

  • Cloud platforms secure the infrastructure.
  • Firewalls secure the perimeter.
  • TLS secures the communication session.
  • Vaults secure business secrets.
  • Zero Trust secures access.

Cipher+ secures the exchange.

Our role begins the moment a secret leaves a vault.

Cipher+ extends your existing security infrastructure to secure the exchange.

Ephemeral Exchange

A proof-of-outcome service for high-risk, high-value micro-assets in transit. Ephemeral by design, enforcing a 24-hour TTL and supporting plaintext-only payloads up to 7KB.

The Shift

System logs lose continuity the moment a file leaves the environment that created them. Different apps, different networks, different devices — every hop introduces gaps, blind spots, and unverifiable assumptions. You can't prove what happened to a file once it moves.

Cipher+ extends system-bound logging with portable cryptographic proof embedded directly inside each encrypted micro-asset.

Each file carries proof of:

  • Who encrypted it - device + user
  • Who decrypted it - device + user
  • Encryption timestamp
  • Decryption timestamp
  • TTL: Opened or Expired
  • Encrypt proof time
  • Decrypt proof time

A shift from external logs to a self-contained, portable proof — the file is the vault.

Self-Governing

Cipher+ turns every secret into a self-governing, proof-carrying micro-asset secured at the edge and protected by a cryptographic engine powered by our multiple patents in ciphertext construction.

Client-Side

All encryption and decryption happen on the user's device. No plaintext ever leaves the device. Nothing is stored, retained, or retrievable.

Physical Token

Each device becomes a unique physical token in the digital world. The device self-authenticates for every encryption and decryption operation, ensuring that only the device-user bound to the ciphertext can unlock it — no one else, regardless of where the file travels.

Embedded Identity

The device-user IDs of the sender and all recipients are carried within every ciphertext. Identity travels inside the encrypted asset itself, replacing certificates, keys, and traditional PKI.

Shared Computational Effort

Sending and opening a secret both require computational work. The sender performs half of the proof of work to create the encrypted micro-asset, and the recipient performs the other half to decrypt it.

Cipher+ Features

With Last Mile Trust built into every encrypted asset, secrets stay controlled by the sender, enforced by the device, and, cryptographically secured in transit, all enabled by our multi-patented keyless ciphertext construction.

Built-In Editor

Secrets are created inside the Cipher+ editor, ensuring total ownership from the moment they are typed. Nothing is imported, synchronized, or exposed to external applications.

Sanitized Input

All copy-and-paste plaintext is automatically sanitized before entering the editor. Hidden characters, formatting, and metadata are removed to prevent accidental leakage or embedded threats.

Plaintext-Only

The editor supports plaintext-only. No emojis. No links. No images. No video. No audio. This intentional constraint reduces the attack surface by more than 90% and eliminates entire classes of exploits.

Atomic Level

During the patented encryption process, every character is split into nibbles and every nibble into individual bits, expanding the data by 8×. The plaintext's original structure is not preserved or hidden — it is destroyed as part of encryption. This leaves only raw, structureless binary, dramatically increasing the complexity and computing time required for any adversarial analysis.

Blind Relay

Like a FedEx sorting center, Cipher+ infrastructure is a temporary transit point—not a destination.

Encrypted micro-assets are staged only for asynchronous delivery to the authorized endpoint or destroyed when the 24-hour TTL expires.

The relay cannot decrypt the ciphertext; decryption occurs client-side.

Two States. Zero Persistence.

Every secret ends in one of two outcomes:

Opened

The recipient completes the decryption process with the 24 hour TTL window on their device.
The plaintext resides locally, and ownership transfers fully to the recipient. Our job is done.

Expired

The 24 hour TTL ends without decryption. The encrypted file is purged from our relay layer. The transaction is recorded as expired. Our job is done.
