Yakhfa Shield is in development. Nothing on this page is a live service yet, so please don’t trust it with real secrets.

Zero-knowledge privacy suite

Your digital life, strictly confidential.

Encrypted storage, mail aliases and private messaging built for journalists, sources, security teams and anyone done with the surveillance economy. Your data is locked on your device before it leaves. We hold ciphertext and nothing else.

01 Built for privacy

Encryption and decryption happen only on your devices. Our servers never see a key, a password or a plaintext file.

02 Secured by math

Audited, standard cryptography (AES-256-GCM, modern key exchange). No homemade ciphers, no trust-us promises.

03 Hidden by default

Metadata stripped on upload, aliases instead of your real address, minimal logs. What happens on Yakhfa stays hidden.

Zero-knowledge, in 10 seconds

What you type vs. what our server gets.

This demo runs entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API. Your passphrase stretches into a 256-bit key (PBKDF2, 310,000 rounds), then AES-GCM encrypts the message. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Demonstration only. The product will use the same principle with full key management and independent audits.

The suite

Three tools. One key, held by you.

Planned

Vault

An encrypted cloud drive. Files and folder names are encrypted on your device before upload.

  • Client-side encryption for every file
  • Expiring, password-locked share links
  • Automatic EXIF and document metadata removal
Planned

Alias

Burner addresses that forward to your real inbox, so no site ever learns it.

  • One alias per site; kill any alias in one tap
  • Pseudonymous sign-in with no real name required
  • Tracker pixels stripped from forwarded mail
Planned

Whisper

End-to-end encrypted messaging for sources and teams, with no phone number required.

  • Disappearing messages by default
  • Minimal metadata kept on our side
  • Safety numbers to verify who you’re talking to

Metadata stripping

A photo says more than you meant it to.

Most phone photos carry hidden EXIF fields: where you stood, when, and on what device. Vault removes them before the file is encrypted, so even a recipient you trust gets only the picture.
