What to Look For in Devices

🔓 Open Source

Open source tools let you verify the code does what it claims. Look for tools with published source code and active community review.

🔒 End-to-End Encryption

E2E encryption means only you and your intended recipients can read your data. The service provider cannot access your content.

🌍 Jurisdiction

Where a company is based affects what laws they must follow. Swiss and EU-based services often have stronger privacy protections.

✓ Audited

Third-party security audits provide independent verification. Look for services that publish their audit results.
