Making the web just a little easier...             

Ever need to share secure information, but worried about sending it over the Internet?  Secure transmission of data, and privacy, are common concerns of Internet users, and very important to us. We need to often exchange secure information with our clients, and so our CIO Joseph Lavin created a secure way to share sensitive information: Self-destructing notes. 1ty.me ("ËœOne Time') is a simple, free software program that could be straight out of a James Bond film. 

1ty.me is a simple short URL service for viewing self destructing notes. 1ty.me runs only in HTTPS, meaning any data transferred to or from the server is encrypted. All notes are encrypted before being stored on the server and only a portion of the key to decrypt is contained in the URL. This URL is not stored on the server, so only the link can decrypt the notes. The URL is hashed so no one can link a URL to a note directly. The notes are encrypted using a key that is never stored on the server. Only the valid URL can display the notes. Once the notes are viewed the encrypted notes are removed from the system and the link can not be viewed again. Users may choose to enter an email address and reference key when creating a note to receive a email notification that the note has been read. The email address is encrypted in the same fashion as notes and deleted upon the note being viewed. Users of the software remain anonymous. 

"1ty.me is a simple idea, destroying a note after reading it," comments Lavin. "This method has been used in countless spy movies. But we decided to take it one step further by utilizing encryption and SSL technologies found in many of our projects. The notes you give 1ty.me are so secure even we can not read them! Now our lives - and our clients' - are just a little bit better." 

The software is available to any Internet user, and can be used by visiting www.1ty.me.   Check it out for yourself!
