Taps.IM
ENTERPRISEAdvanced Security Features
Federated & Encrypted
Built on a foundation of zero-knowledge encryption and federated architecture. Your data remains completely private with self-destructing messages and decentralized infrastructure that you control.
πZero-Knowledge Encrypted Self-Destruction
Messages that disappear without a trace, protected by encryption so advanced that even we can't read them
How Zero-Knowledge Encryption Works
Client-Side Encryption
Your message is encrypted on your device using AES-256 with NaCl secretbox primitives before it ever leaves your computer. We never see the plaintext.
Deterministic Group Keys
Encryption keys are generated using SHA-256 hash of group IDs, ensuring all participants use identical keys without key exchange.
Perfect Forward Secrecy
Each message uses a unique nonce, and keys rotate automatically. Even if one key is compromised, past messages remain secure.
Cryptographic Erasure
When messages self-destruct, we don't just delete the fileβwe destroy the encryption keys, making recovery mathematically impossible.
Taps.IM servers only see encrypted data blobs. We have no keys, no plaintext, and no way to access your messagesβeven if compelled by law enforcement.
Timed Destruction
- β’Custom timers: 1 minute to 1 year
- β’Countdown visible to all participants
- β’Automatic key destruction on expiry
Read-Once Messages
- β’Messages vanish after being read
- β’Read receipts with destruction confirmation
- β’Screenshots detection and prevention
Emergency Wipe
- β’Instant conversation destruction
- β’Panic button for all devices
- β’Secure overwrite of local storage
πFederated Server Architecture
Decentralized infrastructure that you control. No single point of failure, no vendor lock-in, complete data sovereignty.
How Federation Works
Your Server
Deploy on your infrastructure with full control over data and policies
Real-time Sync
HTTP/2 streaming with NDJSON frames for instant message propagation
Global Network
Connect with other organizations while maintaining your data sovereignty
β‘Federation Protocol Features
- βULID-based message deduplication
- βCREDIT-based backpressure control
- βPING/PONG keepalive mechanisms
- βAutomatic connection retry with backoff
- βThread-safe cross-server message relay
- βOpaque E2EE payload support
ποΈWhy Federation Matters
Data Sovereignty
Keep your organization's communications on your own infrastructure. No third-party can access, analyze, or monetize your data.
No Vendor Lock-in
Open-source federation protocol means you can migrate between providers or run your own infrastructure without losing connectivity.
Resilience & Redundancy
If one server goes down, the network continues operating. Messages are relayed through available nodes automatically.
Compliance Control
Meet specific regulatory requirements by controlling exactly where data is stored and how it's processed.
