About the Project

Secure Secrets addresses the risk of plaintext exposure in transit and at rest by adopting a zero-knowledge design.

Users encrypt content in the browser; the backend only handles ciphertext and metadata needed for delivery and lifecycle controls.

This architecture minimizes trust assumptions while still providing a practical developer and user experience.
