Your vault never leaves your computer.
This is what sets LEGATEM apart. Most digital vaults keep your data on their servers; yours stays at home, encrypted, under your control alone.
100% offline
The Vault never connects to the internet: it is technically prevented from doing so. No account to create, no data sent. Turn off the wifi: it still works.
Encrypted end to end
All content is encrypted with the standard used by banks and governments. Without the key, the file is unreadable.AES-256-GCM
A hardened password
Every opening attempt is deliberately slow and costly to compute, which discourages trying passwords one after another.Argon2id
Each document on its own
Attachments are encrypted one by one, each with its own key.
Nothing with us
LEGATEM holds neither your vault, nor your password, nor the pieces of your key. We could not open it, even if asked to.
Independent of LEGATEM
The file contains everything it needs to open. Even if LEGATEM disappeared, your vault would still open.
| Online digital vault | LEGATEM | |
|---|---|---|
| Where your data is | On the provider's servers | On your computer |
| Online account | Required | None |
| If the company stops | Access depends on the service | Your vault still opens |
The most common situation among online digital vaults; it varies from one service to another.
The pieces of your key take over
LEGATEM does not know your password and cannot recover it. The pieces you gave to your loved ones let you rebuild the key and reopen the vault.
