Security without superlatives

How KBeam protects private messages from being read

KBeam encrypts private messages on the device before they reach the transport path. At the same time, we explain which technical metadata exists and when an optional function uses external processing.

Device

where encryption happens before transport

Separated

content, transport, identity and payment

Optional

external processing for deliberately selected functions

01

Content and transport are different layers

Fast Push, push providers, brokers or other services can transport messages without receiving the private content in plain text. Encryption happens first in the app; the recipient's matching cryptographic identity provides the basis for decryption.

Media and files use their own encrypted transfer paths. Their technical details are verified by platform and feature path before KBeam publishes specific algorithms or security properties as universal claims.

02

Metadata does not disappear through a marketing promise

Necessary technical metadata and logs may be processed for delivery, synchronization, reliability and abuse prevention. Public KAS transactions remain public by the nature of the blockchain.

That is why KBeam speaks about data-minimizing encrypted communication rather than promising complete anonymity. Users should be able to understand which path requires which data.

03

The endpoint is part of the boundary

End-to-end encryption does not protect against every threat. An unlocked or compromised device, unsafe screen captures, lost recovery data or deliberately enabled third-party functions change the threat model.

Self-custody also means responsibility: KBeam does not hold user funds and cannot reset lost wallet keys like a central account provider.

FAQ

Common security questions

Can KBeam read my private messages in plain text?

In the ordinary private chat path, messages are encrypted on the device before they reach transport services. Optional external functions may use a different, separately explained processing path for their specific purpose.

Is KBeam impossible to wiretap?

That would be too absolute a promise. KBeam protects private content by encrypting it before transport. Actual protection also depends on the device, software version, key security, usage and the attacker being considered.

Which data remains visible?

Depending on the function, technical delivery metadata, security logs and public blockchain data may be visible or required. The privacy documents provide the binding description of processed data categories.

Privacy should be understandable

KBeam separates the ordinary private chat path from optional payments and external functions.
