Privacy seems to be a major problem today and those who want to send the data or files securely and in a short time are facing many problems like account signing. Recently a peer to peer sharing has been introduced that is secure and instant.
Consider a person x wants to send a file to a person y securely and also in instant manner the user traditionally need to sign up for a service without an account and then the user can upload the file and send the link to the receiver. What happen if the sensitive information leaks.
A new service named #otr.to has been introduced and this provides a safe and instant file sharing between users. The service uses encryption algorithm that combines javascript with AES256 bit algorithm.
For sending a file to another person he / she needs to do the following
1. Visit the site http://otr.to and upload the file.
2. Get the link and send it to the user.
3. That's it.
The key features are whenever a file is being uploaded the file will be encrypted with the key and a key pair will be encrypted and then saved in the server. If the receiver clicks the link. If both the key pair matches then the data will be decrypted and the data will be published.
Another important fact is that once the file has been downloaded it will be deleted from the server thus there will be no threat from future attacks.
P.S : The post is to create awareness and not to be misused.
