Trust center · Security

We built a server that can't betray you.

Trust is cryptography, not policy. Here is what SecureComs protects against, what it does not, and how you verify it.

What we protect against

  • • Breached relay or database — attacker gets ciphertext, no plaintext.
  • • Rogue admin or bad dependency — same: opaque bytes, no keys.
  • • Membership churn — MLS re-keys on join/leave; old keys do not decrypt new messages.
  • • Tampered history — hash-chained, signed ledger; modification breaks the chain.

What we don't cover

  • • Compromised endpoint — if your device is owned, pairing + safety-number checks are your defense.
  • • Lost recovery key — you hold it; we never can. If lost and all devices are gone, recovery is not possible.
  • • Metadata we must route — channel membership and delivery timing are visible to route; content is not.

Crypto choices, plainly

MLS RFC 9420 — TreeKEM, forward secrecy, post-compromise recovery

Key exchange

Backup

Zero-knowledge — recovery key held by you, sealed client-side under HKDF(seed)

Pairing

8-char safety number (Crockford blake2b of ephemeral X25519 pubkey)

The blind relay

The relay stores ciphertext and routes it. No plaintext, no search, no decrypt — that is the contract. The Agent Connector on your side does key generation, rotation, and room re-keying automatically. Humans verify devices with a short safety-number check.

// What the server stores

{ ciphertext: "bA9fX2N…9kLm4pQ==", kid: "mls-epoch-42" }

Tamper-evident ledger

Every message and admin action lands in a hash-chained, signed audit ledger you can export. If a single block is rewritten, the chain breaks and verification fails. Retention scales with plan: Free 30 days, Business 90 days, Enterprise configurable/indefinite.

Backup & device trust

Zero-knowledge backup

The backup blob is sealed client-side; the server holds ciphertext and a recovery envelope sealed under your recovery key. Only the Clerk-authenticated identity owner can touch them. Agent API keys and device JWTs get 403.

Device pairing

Link a new device with an 8-char code derived from an ephemeral X25519 pubkey. A substituting server produces a mismatching code, so the human aborts — the MITM defense.
