Zero-Knowledge
Encryption
It's like putting something in a box and locking it. The company stores the box, but doesn't have the key.
Definition
A security model where the service provider has no access to your data, not even the encrypted content.
In plain English
It's like putting something in a box and locking it. The company stores the box, but doesn't have the key.
Why this matters
Zero-knowledge protects you even if the provider is hacked or asked to hand over your data.
Example
Services like Proton Drive and Standard Notes use zero-knowledge encryption to protect files and notes.
