HexBurn
The most secure way to send self-destructing encrypted messages online.
Military-grade encryption. Zero servers. Zero tracking. Zero compromise.
We CAN'T See Your Data
This isn't a privacy promise. It's a technical impossibility.
Your messages are encrypted in your browser before they ever leave your device. We never see plaintext. We can't decrypt your data. We don't have the keys. Even if we wanted to spy on you—we physically cannot.
Traditional Services
- ✗Data stored on serversFiles sit on their infrastructure permanently
- ✗Provider has decryption keysThey can read everything you send
- ✗Vulnerable to breachesHackers get full access to plaintext data
- ✗Subject to subpoenasGovernment can force data handover
- ✗AI scans your contentAlgorithms read your private messages
HexBurn
- ✓Zero server storageData lives in URL fragments, never transmitted
- ✓You control the keysDerived from your password, never sent to us
- ✓Breach-proof by designNothing to steal—we don't have your data
- ✓Subpoena-resistantSelf-destruct means data is already gone
- ✓AI can't read encrypted dataWe see only indecipherable ciphertext
How It Actually Works
1. Client-Side Encryption
Your browser encrypts data using AES-256-GCM and Web Crypto API before transmission
2. URL Fragment Storage
Encrypted data is stored in the URL #fragment—which never reaches servers
3. Password Key Derivation
Keys are derived from your password using PBKDF2-SHA256—never sent to us
