of Zero-Knowledge Cloud Encryption
Understanding Your Unique Risk Profile
The threats activists face require specialized protection
State Surveillance
Authoritarian governments monitoring activists, tracking communications, identifying organizers.
Traditional Cloud Exposure:
- •Government can access cloud data
- •Force providers to hand over files
- •Identify movement members and supporters
Nygma Protection:
- Zero-knowledge = cannot access even with court order
- Encrypted names = can't identify file purposes
- No metadata analysis possible
Forced Device Access
Detained and forced to unlock phones/computers containing sensitive organizational information.
Traditional Cloud Exposure:
- •All files visible when device unlocked
- •Contact lists exposed
- •Communications history revealed
- •Network mapping possible
Nygma Protection:
- Duress Mode = show harmless decoy content
- Real organizing documents stay hidden
- Network stays protected
- Plausible deniability maintained
Arrest & Extended Detention
Unable to access devices for extended periods, data remaining accessible to captors.
Traditional Cloud Exposure:
- •Data remains on devices/cloud indefinitely
- •Forensic analysis possible
- •Network reconstruction over time
Nygma Protection:
- Time Bomb = auto-wipe after inactivity
- Stealth mode (no email warnings that could expose you)
- Guaranteed deletion if detained >X days
- Movement stays protected even if you can't access
How Activists Use Nygma in the Field
Actual security setups for high-risk situations
Protest Organization
Activist organizing protests in country with heavy surveillance and crackdowns
What's at Risk:
- •Attendee lists
- •Planning documents
- •Fundraising records
- •Communication strategies
Nygma Setup:
Protection: If arrested and forced to unlock → Shows decoy. If detained >2 weeks → Everything auto-wiped. Network stays protected, movement continues.
Evidence Documentation
Human rights defender documenting abuses with photos and videos in dangerous environment
What's at Risk:
- •Evidence photos/videos
- •Witness testimonies
- •Location metadata
- •Source identities
Nygma Setup:
Protection: Evidence is immediately encrypted and backed up in the cloud. If device is confiscated, the original evidence remains protected and can be shared with international organizations.
Cross-Border Coordination
NGO coordinating across multiple countries, some with heavy internet surveillance
What's at Risk:
- •Secure document sharing
- •Protecting local partners
- •Maintaining operational security
- •Avoiding surveillance patterns
Nygma Setup:
Protection: Compartmentalized security means a breach of one device doesn't compromise the entire network. Zero-knowledge encryption ensures ISPs and governments cannot intercept meaningful data.
Security Configuration for High-Risk Work
Recommended setup for activists and NGOs
Maximum Security Setup
