Sealed to people
Only the recipients you choose can open a sealed file. A forwarded copy is useless to anyone else.
Secure Verified Exchange · Beta
Send files only the people you choose can open, and stay in control after you send them.
The problem
Once you send a file, it's out of your hands. It can be forwarded, copied and opened by anyone who gets hold of it, and you can't take it back.
SVX seals each file to the people you choose and keeps you in the loop after it leaves your machine.
How it works
01 · Seal
Choose a file and the people who should be able to open it. SVX encrypts it, signs it as coming from you, and seals it to those people only.
02 · Split
The key that opens the file is split in two. The SVX service holds one half and the recipient's side holds the other. Both have to agree before the file opens.
03 · Verify & approve
When Bob goes to open the file, SVX checks it's really him. Approval is on by default: you get a request in your app, and the file opens in his SVX app only after you say yes.
04 · Revoke
Project over, or sent to the wrong person? Revoke access and the file won't open for them again.
Revocation stops future access. It can't take back a file someone has already opened.
halves to every key. One with the service, one with the recipient's side. Both must agree.
files or keys that ever touch a browser. Sealing and opening happen in the desktop app.
platforms in beta today: macOS on Apple chips, and Windows 10 and 11. Linux is next.
What's inside
Only the recipients you choose can open a sealed file. A forwarded copy is useless to anyone else.
A classical algorithm and a post-quantum one, combined, so the file stays protected if either one is ever broken.
Every file carries your signature, so recipients can tell it came from you and hasn't been changed.
The service and the recipient's side each hold half. Neither can open the file without the other.
Recipients are verified before a file opens. With approval on (the default), you decide each time whether it does.
Let each person open a file once, or set a date after which it won't open at all.
Files and keys stay in the desktop app. This website never sees them.
Take away access for one person or everyone. Future opens are blocked from that moment on.
View-only files
Mark a file view-only and the recipient can read it in SVX, without saving a copy of their own.
View-only blocks saving, copying and screenshots in the app. It cannot stop someone photographing their screen.

Won't openFor teams
Reports, contracts, findings: the files you send outside your company are the ones you most want control over.
Example · all names fictional
Alice at Acme Security seals penetration-test findings for Bob at Example Corp.
Eve gets hold of the file. She isn't a chosen recipient, so all she has is a sealed file she can't open.
Bob is verified, Alice approves, and Bob reads the findings in his SVX app.
The engagement ends. Alice revokes access, and the file won't open for anyone again.
