End-to-End Encryption Explained for File Hosts

Encryption buzzwords are everywhere. Here’s the practical version for people who just want their files safe.

In transit

Every FileCrater connection uses TLS 1.3. Nobody on the network path can read your upload stream.

At rest

Files are encrypted with AES-256 before they hit durable storage. Keys are separated from object data.

Sharing without exposure

Permanent links use unguessable slugs. Optional password locks and one-time download modes are coming for Pro accounts.
