LockTalk is the world’s first private, peer-to-peer instant messaging application. We pride ourselves on giving our users control over their own data; unlike other messaging services, we have no access to the data being sent between users. Instead, we provide a means for users to communicate directly and securely with each other, using industry-leading encryption to ensure that only the intended recipients ever gain access to content sent across LockTalk’s peer-to-peer network.
Features:
LockTalk’s number one focus is privacy. We employ three layers of protection to ensure that your data remains secure:
- Encryption: We use the most robust encryption available - AES-256 CBC - to protect every piece of data that is sent across our network. This is the same type of encryption that the US government uses to protect documents classified as TOP SECRET.
- Authentication: Leading edge, digitally signed certificates are used to ensure that every user is who they say they are. In other words, only you and your intended recipients can ever actually decrypt and view the data you send. Crucially, even we as a company have no way of decrypting and viewing the messages and photos you send.
- Availability: LockTalk is unique in the way that it allows you to send data directly to the devices that are supposed to receive it, and only those devices. We create a custom network channel between you and whoever you are chatting with, effectively preventing any third parties from accessing that data. Most instant messengers are similar to the postal service - your message is handled by many different people before arriving at its destination. LockTalk instead provides a way for your device to transmit the message directly to the recipient, as if you were delivering the message by hand.
