News questions

12/15/2023

The subjects on which we have been questioned are technical, sensitive and controversial, and unfortunately commented on in an approximate manner (in less than 280 characters).

We have taken the time to respond on a page that we will keep up to date. In particular, we mention:

  • The question of sovereignty. The cryptography implemented by Olvid allows each user to be sovereign. Data sovereignty does not depend on the location of the servers or the nationality of the solution provider.

  • The choice of AWS. Our servers are hosted by AWS. Olvid’s technological breakthrough is to guarantee the security of its users via cryptographic mechanisms, which have no nationality, without having to trust the servers.

Here it is 👉 News questions.

Their hosting must only be carried out with security conditions adapted to their level of criticality.
