Military-grade encrypted photo vault for iOS privacy

2026-02-11

Product Introduction

  1. Overview: Encamera is an iOS-native encrypted photo vault application utilizing military-grade end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for local media storage.
  2. Value: Provides complete user-controlled privacy where not even Apple or Encamera developers can access protected content.

Main Features

  1. On-Capture Encryption: Photos/videos are encrypted in real-time using AES-256 before saving to device storage, preventing unencrypted data in camera rolls.
  2. Secure Media Vault: Open-source encryption technology allows direct import and conversion of existing camera roll content into encrypted containers verifiable by users.
  3. Zero-Cloud Exposure: Military-grade E2EE ensures media never exists unencrypted in iCloud or third-party servers, with all decryption keys stored locally.

Problems Solved

  1. Challenge: Prevents unauthorized access to private photos from cloud breaches, device theft, or platform vulnerabilities.
  2. Audience: Privacy-conscious iOS users storing sensitive content (intimate moments, documents, confidential media).
  3. Scenario: Journalists protecting source materials, couples securing intimate photos, or professionals storing identity documents on iPhones.

Unique Advantages

  1. Vs Competitors: Only solution offering true on-capture encryption at the camera sensor level, unlike reactive vault apps that encrypt after media creation.
  2. Innovation: Combines open-source verifiable cryptography with iOS-native implementation, maintaining full iCloud backup compatibility without compromising security.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  1. Q: Can Apple or law enforcement access my Encamera photos? A: No. End-to-end encryption ensures only you hold decryption keys - media remains inaccessible to any third party including Apple.
  2. Q: What happens if I lose my iPhone? A: Encrypted content remains protected by military-grade AES-256 encryption, requiring your unique passphrase for decryption on any device.
  3. Q: How does this differ from iOS built-in photo privacy? A: Encamera encrypts at capture time before iOS handles files, whereas Apple's protections rely on system-level permissions without sensor-level encryption.
