One-click Upload
Quickly send files with disposable, private links. No account required.
Drag & drop or click to choose
Files are uploaded and stored fully encrypted.
How VDFN protects your files
We designed VDFN to provide a minimal, auditable upload experience that prioritizes privacy. Below is everything users need to understand how files are treated.
No IPs, No Logs
VDFN does not record requester IP addresses, connection metadata, or persistent access logs. Session-level telemetry is ephemeral and used only for short-lived analytics, then discarded.
End-to-End Encryption
Files are encrypted client-side before any transfer (in a real setup). The recipient receives a single-use, random link containing the key. Without the link, the data cannot be decrypted.
Ephemeral Links
By default links auto-expire after a configurable window (e.g., 72 hours). You can set shorter lifetimes for extra safety — expired files are purged.
Data Deletion & Retention
Files are automatically purged after expiry. Retention logs (if any) are minimal and deleted within 48 hours unless legally required otherwise.
Technical overview
Below is a short, implementation-style description suitable for security-minded users and auditors.
- Client-side encryption: Files are encrypted in the browser using a strong symmetric key derived per-upload. Encrypted blobs are what the server receives.
- Zero-knowledge links: URLs contain the random decryption token; servers store only the encrypted blob and a pointer. Without the token, the blob is unreadable.
- Stateless access: Download endpoints require the token in the request; no user accounts are required and there's no persistent session mapping.
- Delete-on-expire: The storage backend runs secure deletion processes after expiry. For added assurance, overwriting strategies and cryptographically secure deletes are used where supported.
