Encrypted Communication for Journalists & Confidential Sources

Source protection is a cornerstone of journalism. When a source shares sensitive information, the communication channel itself must be secure. Email can be subpoenaed. Chat logs can be leaked. Even "disappearing" messages leave metadata.

This encryption tool operates entirely in your browser. No account is required, no messages are stored on a server, and no metadata trail is created. The encrypted output is a URL that your source can decrypt with a pre-shared password — on any device, without installing any software.

Traditional secure communication tools — Signal, PGP email, SecureDrop — require both parties to use the same platform. This is often impractical. Sources may not be technically sophisticated. They may be using a corporate device where they cannot install apps. They may be in a country where encrypted messaging apps draw suspicion.

A browser-based encryption tool sidesteps all of these issues. The source opens a web page, pastes the password, and reads the message. No installation. No account. No app store record. The encrypted URL can be sent through any channel — email, SMS, a handwritten note, even a QR code.

For investigative teams, this tool is also useful for internal communication. Encrypt interview notes, story drafts, or documents-in-progress before sharing with editors or legal review. The encryption adds a layer of protection against unauthorized access, even if someone gains access to your email or cloud storage.
