This guide explains how kPaste secures your data.
kPaste secures your texts
kPaste is a free service for securely sharing passwords and sensitive information.
The tool encrypts your data directly in the web browser using the AES-256 protocol, specifically the Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) algorithm.
kPaste servers are exclusively based in Switzerland and managed by Infomaniak, which has no knowledge of the copied texts as the data is only transmitted and stored in encrypted form on kPaste servers.
Finally, the source code of kPaste is open (see on GitHub), allowing anyone to verify the security and transparency of the service.
