With Pulse SMS, you get privacy and peace of mind, right out of the box. Privacy Protection Proof In technical terms, we use PBKDF2 to encrypt your password and use it as a key to encrypt messages and conversations. Technical Encryption Overview 1) When an account is created, we generate two salts. One to use with authentication and one for end-to-end encryption. 2) The one that we use with login is straight-forward and normal. We store a version of your password, hashed against the first salt, and authenticate you against this hash. 3) For the encryption, we hash your password against salt #2 and store it locally on your device (computer/tablet/phone). Having this key is the only way that you can decrypt messages. Since no one else has the password that was hashed against the second salt, no one else will be able to decrypt anything. We share our privacy protocol publicly so our users have peace of mind knowing their password is never stored anywhere and without that password, there is no way to create the secret key used for encrypting and decrypting the content stored in the backend.
