Access Control

Advanced Protection Settings

Customize the lifecycle of your secrets using advanced privacy settings. You can enforce manual decryption passphrases using PBKDF2 key derivation, specify automatic lifetime expirations (ranging from 1 hour to 7 days), and enable bot-crawler prevention to ensure search indexers don't accidentally consume and destroy links.

Manual Passphrases

Enforce manual passwords. Decryption keys are derived locally using PBKDF2 parameters.

Bot-Crawler Prevention

Intercept automatic web crawler scans to prevent early link destruction.

Retrieval Alert

Retrieval Confirmation Prompt

When the recipient opens the link, the system displays a clear warning screen. Reading the note will retrieve the encrypted cipher, decrypt it locally, and permanently delete the database record. This prevents double-reading and ensures that the message cannot be intercepted by anyone else.

Accidental Read Intercept

Provides a warning screen to prevent accidental link consumption.

Immediate Hard Delete

The database entry is purged during retrieval, leaving no traces on the server.

Decrypted Reader & Secure Replies

The decrypted message view shows the raw notes and links to download decrypted file attachments. Since the recipient might need to respond securely, the reader integrates an instant secure reply module. The recipient can click "Reply Securely" to create a new self-destructing response, facilitating two-way confidential conversations.

Local Decryption

The browser reads the URL hash key and decrypts payloads client-side.

Secure Reply Loops

Send immediate self-destructing responses without setting up user profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Glofora recover a note if it was accidentally opened?

No. Once a note has been viewed, it is immediately deleted from our database tables. There are no backups or log archives of the decrypted payloads.

Why does the decryption key sit in the URL hash?

The portion of the URL after the '#' character is processed locally by your browser and is never sent to the network. This ensures the decryption key is kept zero-knowledge.

Is there a limit to the size of files I can attach?

Yes, you can upload file attachments up to 2MB in size. This ensures high-speed, client-side encryption and compression processing directly within your browser window.
