Zero-trust is everywhere now. Usually followed by a 90-page whitepaper and a bill from your IAM provider.
But the core idea behind zero-trust is simple: never assume anyone is safe, even inside your system. BareSend doesn’t just apply that principle — it embodies it.
BareSend has no concept of identity. The system doesn’t know who sent a message or who’s reading it. It doesn’t care. And it doesn’t need to.
There are no JWTs, no cookies, no device binding. No login, no magic links, no federated auth. You’re either holding the encryption key — or you’re not.
All encryption happens in the browser. That’s not a “security layer.” That’s the security.
The BareSend server never sees:
The server is just a dead-drop for ciphertext — with a fuse.
Once a message is read, it’s deleted after 60 seconds. Not “flagged for deletion” Not “moved to trash”. Actually deleted. From storage. Forever.
Expiry is enforced server-side. But the data was already opaque without the decryption key.
You can’t profile what you never collected. You can’t leak what you never logged. You can’t abuse trust that never existed.
No third-party SDKs. No cloud vendor glue. No ten layers of abstractions.
BareSend is small on purpose. Every extra line of code is a new place trust could fail.
Real zero-trust means no one — not even us — should have access to your data.
