About Ciphera

Building the future of privacy.

Ciphera is dedicated to creating privacy-first infrastructure and applications that put users in control of their data. We believe encryption should be the default, not an add-on.

01 · Mission

Encryption that works invisibly

We build tools that protect your data automatically — no configuration, no trade-offs. Your files are encrypted client-side, so we never see them. When data is encrypted before it leaves your device, there’s nothing to track, profile, or compromise. That’s not a feature — it’s the foundation.

Data residency: Switzerland. See our privacy policy →

What we stand for

01

We can’t read your data

Your vault is encrypted on your device before it reaches us, and your password is proven with OPAQUE — never sent. We store ciphertext, not your keys, so we couldn’t read your data if we tried. Not even under a court order.

02

We collect almost nothing

Pulse counts visitors with no cookies, no fingerprinting, and no cross-visit identifiers. There’s no profile to leak, sell, or hand over — because we never build one. Collecting less is the default, not a setting.

03

You can check our work

Our cryptographic core is open source, our warrant canary is public, and we publish a transparency report. Don’t take the claims on faith — read the code and the receipts.

04

You can walk away

You own your keys and your data. Export it or delete it whenever you want — there’s no lock-in and nothing for us to hold hostage, because we can’t read it in the first place.

03 · Technology

Built with modern, secure technologies

We use battle-tested technologies chosen for their security, performance, and reliability. Every component is carefully selected to keep your data protected.

Team

Who’s behind Ciphera

Founder

Usman Baig

Usman Baig founded Ciphera BV in 2024 and leads it from Belgium. Ciphera’s privacy-first products — Pulse, Ciphera ID, Captcha, and Relay — and its open-source Tessera authentication library were built under that direction.
