What Slidingbox does
A client encrypts an item before sending it to Slidingbox. The service temporarily stores the resulting ciphertext and initialization vector, returns a short-lived pointer, and removes the stored item after its first successful retrieval or expiry.
Encrypt on the client
Plaintext and encryption keys remain under the client's control and are not submitted to Slidingbox.
Store temporarily
The encrypted item is assigned a one-time pointer and a time-to-live from 60 to 900 seconds.
Retrieve and remove
The pointer holder requests the encrypted item. A successful retrieval is designed to delete it from the service.
Who it serves
Slidingbox is designed for developers, businesses, and automated systems that need a short-lived handoff mechanism without giving the relay access to plaintext or encryption keys. It is a machine-to-machine utility sold to businesses and developers; it is not offered to consumers for personal, family, or household use.
What it is not
- It is not permanent file storage, backup, messaging, or key management.
- It is not offered for protected health information, payment-card data, or other regulated-data use cases.
- It does not provide cryptocurrency exchange, custody, investment, or money-transmission services.
