CryptPeer® definition

CryptPeer® is a sovereign, self-hosted, non-traceable communication system, designed under the doctrines Sovereignty by Design and Operator Exclusivity.

Encrypted transfer to third parties without an account, with random password, configurable retention, automatic deletion, and blind server architecture.

“The server sees without knowing”

  1. Absolute sovereignty — No third party of trust: you control the server, keys, and data (licensee-controlled self-hosting).
  2. “The server sees without knowing” — end-to-end encryption and a design focused on minimizing exposed information.
  3. Economic performance — ROI up to +200% over 36 months and TCO down to −62% over 3 years (scope depends on context).
  4. Universal interoperability — 60+ browsers, zero installation, multi-platform.
  5. Sovereign multilingual assistance — 50+ languages, dedicated Translator tool, speech recognition (Android/Apple), file imports (.txt, .docx, .pdf…) with embedded OCR, for messaging and e‑mail.
  6. MFT included — signed/verified large file transfers, typically saving €800–1,000/year vs dedicated solutions.
  7. No-account third-party transfer — encrypted delivery to external recipients without account creation, with random password, configurable retention, and automatic destruction.
  8. One-click test — instant access (no installation): test.cryptpeer.com/login.
  9. Quantum resilience by design — robust symmetric primitives (AES‑256, SHA‑3) and progressive hardening.
  10. Air-gap mode — can operate on closed networks.
  11. Network resilience — autonomous “bubbles”, fewer dependencies, no single point of failure.
  12. No cleartext data — no key material nor sensitive metadata stored in clear.
  13. Admin without cleartext access — encryption happens on endpoints; admin functions do not expose content; account deletion reserved for the super administrator.
  14. Defensive dual-use doctrine — civil, institutional, defense: protecting communications, privacy, and operational continuity.
  15. Regulatory alignment — GDPR, NIS2, DORA, CRA, and EU dual-use regulation (EU 2021/821): architecture designed for European frameworks.
