Frequently Asked

What is NCASE?

NCASE is a do-it-yourself security product that empowers you to protect your data.

With NCASE your data is not copied to "the cloud", or revealed to anyone. The protected data is yours, and only you have the original copy.

You choose keepers who you trust, not with your data, but to store shares for safekeeping. The original data may be restored, only when a number of keepers contribute their shares to the restore process.

Is this secure?

NCASE may look and feel like a website, but protected data is never sent to NCASE servers. Data is not uploaded, even when you press "choose files" or click buttons.

NCASE software runs within your browser to split data into shares, and recover data from shares. Each share is a file that you can send to keepers any way you like. We recommend end-to-end encrypted messaging, over say email. Or use the transport feature built into NCASE that sends shares securely browser-to-browser. Your original data, and your split shares, are not stored on NCASE servers, because they are never sent to NCASE servers.

To make this possible, NCASE requires features that only modern web browsers support, such as service workers, web assembly and real-time communication. This is why, if you have trouble running NCASE, we recommend trying another modern browser.
