The web has recently seen a fantastic explosion in the ease and utility of online sharing. From political discourse to cake recipes, everything gets posted online. This evolution of information distribution has made it so much easier to stay in touch with friends, colleagues and ideas. However, it has come with a cost. The majority of posts are aggregated across a number of huge social media services that reserve the right read, distribute and archive the content as they see fit.
Scrambls enables users to seamlessly assert lasting control over their posts. Some conversations are really meant to be private. Some posts maybe shouldn't have been posted. Some content is worthy of copyright. Groups and affiliations change. Scrambls strives to be a easy-to-use tool spanning across the Internet to give you control over your participation in online media.
Scrambls works by introducing a 'key' needed to read a post. The original content is encoded before being delivered to the web. The key gets stored at a scrambls servers while the encoded post goes to the service provider.
When the post is later displayed, scrambls applies the key to make it readable again. The author owns these keys and can set the policy for whom and when to make them available.
We are committed to providing a free service which is tailored to the needs of our users. Please let us know what you think or drop suggestions at [email protected]. Our business is based on providing advanced features so the core service can remain free.
We are serious about privacy. Our role is to help you control your content, not to read it or advertise with it. We have constructed this service as a utility. You own the keys. If you choose to leave the service we will provide you with the keys to manually access anything posted with scrambls.
Our mission is to make sharing smarter. We believe you should understand what you are sharing and whom you are sharing it with. Scrambls strives to make sharing as transparent and comfortable an experience as possible.
Scrambls employs a custom algorithm that is optimized for presentation on social media sites. Each post is uniquely keyed and the key length is sufficiently long for most web posts.
Scrambls is 'social security'. We make no assertion that the encoding is unbreakable. And because the transformations are applied on the client, outside of any secure execution environment (like most commercial security solutions), the keys are vulnerable to a local attack. SSL is employed to ensure client to server communications.
Rest assured that we will be quick to employ enhanced security platforms as they become available. As a division of Wave Systems, which has a 20 year history in endpoint security, we believe in the future of real information protection.
For those who are interested, scrambls is specifically architected to allow for partners to integrate their own key servers and algorithms. Please see developer.scrambls.com.
Scrambls has an open architecture and encourages integration. Please visit developer.scrambls.com. There you will find everything you need to integrate support for posting and reading scrambls in your app or web service.
We also support the integration of external policy servers. See External Policy Interface.
