While end-to-end encryption effectively protects your messages from being read by third parties during transmission, it's crucial to consider the risks posed by physical access to your machine.
If an adversary gets their hands on your actual machine, there's a significant chance they will be able to recover even deleted (or self-destructed) messages by analyzing the contents of your hard drives or RAM memory.
Cradle assumes the worst-case scenario of your machine being captured in an unencrypted state and takes every possible measure to minimize potential damage.
When Cradle is closed, it securely overwrites the allocated RAM memory with zeroes or random data.
State-of-the-art E2E encryption powered by the open source Signal Protocol.
Register on your desktop to mitigate risks associated with mobile phone usage.
Conceal secret data within innocent-looking images, audio files, text, and network packets.
This feature will be available for both locally stored application data and user-to-user communication.
Overwrite the hard drive sectors containing application data to prevent deleted / self-destructed messages from being recovered.
WARNING: Overwriting the sectors on SSD drives may not work as intended due to wear leveling (read more). It is recommended to use different options instead.
Load Cradle directly into RAM.
Operating in this mode ensures no data is written to the hard drive.
Upon session closure, all exchanged message data will be permanently gone.
