Hey there,
this is Dominic again from the diode.io team. We are pleased to announce that we’re publishing new production canisters including fully encrypted and vetKEY protected file system functions. This means that now ICP is powering:
- E2E Encrypted Chat Messages
- E2E Encrypted Embedded chat images, documents and anything else you feel like dropping into a chat conversation
- Zone secret and encrypted Zone Metadata
- Zone secret and encrypted File System like storage on Canisters
We’re especially happy to be one of the first ones to use vetKEY based encryption for content hosted in Canisters. This brings the highest possible privacy guarantees for your data, nobody is able to decrypt your data - Not the Diode team, not the Dfinity Foundation and not even Node operators. Only you and your team members can securely access the data stored and encrypted using vetKEYs.
These new features mean that an ICP Canister can become an “always on peer” for your Diode Zone. With a hard focus on data privacy previously Diode was an exclusive Peer-To-Peer system requiring at least two team members to be able to sync data. Now with the advent of vetKEYs on ICP we believe it’s for the first time possible to keep our privacy requirements intact while making data always available.
Ths Canister is owned and managed by the Zone owner and can be managed through the Diode App.
We’re running this now in beta testing with first users and will be rolling out the newest canister versions to all users very soon. Again all zone canister source code is available here: GitHub - diodechain/zone_availability_canister
Also this version is starting to use Enhanced Orthogonal Persistence with now much fewer usage of Motoko regions. Once the new cheap blob storage arrives for Motoko we also expect to adopt that to bring cost further down.
Cheers!
