This guide explains how kPaste secures your data.
kPaste secures your texts
kPaste is a free service that allows you to share passwords and sensitive information securely
The kPaste tool encrypts your data directly through the web browser using the AES-256 protocol and more specifically the Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) algorithm.
kPaste's source code is open (view on GitHub) which allows anyone to validate the security and transparency of the service.
Data on kPaste
kPaste servers are exclusively based in Switzerland and managed by Infomaniak which has no knowledge of the copied texts as data is only transmitted and stored in encrypted form on kPaste servers:
- Texts are encrypted at the time of copying.
- The timestamp of copy creation and expiration time are not encrypted.
- The decryption key (part of the URL after the hashtag
#) is neither stored nor transferred. - For absolute security, it is recommended to use kPaste in private browsing while disabling your web browser extensions.
Is kPaste really free?
Yes. Infomaniak finances its activities with its paid services. If you want to help promote a Web that respects users' privacy, tell your contacts about Infomaniak's free services.
