What is “host-proof hosting?”

Many web applications that store encrypted data on their servers also possess the key to decrypt that data. The basic idea behind “host-proof hosting” is to design applications that don’t have to trust the host (the web server that stores your data). Techferno implements host-proof hosting by encrypting/decrypting your data “client side” on your computer before it’s transferred to/from our secure web servers. No one besides you holds the keys, not even us. This means that even in the unlikely scenario someone were to obtain our database, it would be useless, as the data cannot be decrypted without the key that only you possess.
