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.
how it works
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.
our commitment
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
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.
security
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.
integration
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.
