End-to-End Encryption

AES-256-GCM encryption happens on your device. Zero-knowledge architecture means providers never see your data.

Global Distribution

Data spread across continents and independent providers. Geographic redundancy protects against regional failures.

How Carbide works.

A three-step process designed for maximum security and performance.

01

Encrypt

Your files are encrypted with AES-256-GCM on your device before upload. Only you hold the keys.

02

Distribute

Encrypted chunks are spread across independent providers worldwide. You choose the redundancy level (1-10 copies).

03

Access

Retrieve from anywhere. Data is fetched from the fastest providers and decrypted locally on your device.
