What is VanishLink?

VanishLink is an advanced platform for secure and temporary sharing of messages and files, designed to guarantee maximum control over access, duration, and confidentiality of content. Every piece of information is shared through a unique expiring link, which allows access only for a limited period or according to self-destruction rules defined by the user.

Functionality

VanishLink allows users to create text content or upload files and generate a temporary access link.

All data is encrypted directly in the browser before being sent and stored on the server exclusively in encrypted form. The server never has access to the plain content nor to the decryption keys.

The key always remains client-side and is used locally for decryption, ensuring a security model based on a zero-knowledge architecture.

Types of content

The system supports:

  • Temporary text messages
  • Files uploaded securely
  • Content optionally protected by password

Each element is treated as an independent entity with configurable access, expiration, and destruction rules.

File management

VanishLink includes an advanced file management system with limits designed to ensure stability, security, and fast transfer.

  • It is possible to upload up to 8 files per single content
  • Each file cannot exceed 5 MB in size
  • In case of multiple uploads, the total sum of all files must not exceed 5 MB

This structure ensures that every share remains lightweight, efficient, and consistent with the temporary nature of the platform.

Security

VanishLink uses client-side AES-GCM 256-bit encryption with local key generation.

Data is encrypted before leaving the browser and always remains stored on the server in unreadable form. Without the original key, no content can be recovered.

An optional password can be added as an additional layer of protection, handled through secure server-side hashing.

The system also includes:

  • protection against repeated unauthorized access attempts
  • temporary lock after multiple consecutive errors
  • strict validation of usage and expiration parameters
  • secure request and access handling

Self-destruction and full control

Each content can be configured with precise rules for duration and usage:

  • Automatic deletion after first view
  • Limited number of openings (1, 5, 10, or unlimited)
  • Custom Time-To-Live from 10 minutes up to 7 days
  • Automatic deletion upon expiration

For content with unlimited access, a self-destruction system based on inactivity is also applied: the content is automatically deleted after 15 days from the last opening.

System management

The architecture is designed in a modular way to ensure scalability and reliability.

The system is divided into separate components for application logic, data access, and security services. This allows great flexibility in integrating different backends and configurations.

An automatic cleanup service is included to remove expired or no longer accessible content, keeping the system always efficient.

Advanced security

VanishLink integrates a complete set of protection measures:

  • zero-knowledge architecture
  • client-side end-to-end encryption
  • secure password hashing
  • protection against unauthorized access
  • HTTP security headers
  • advanced input validation
  • automatic cleanup system

The entire system is designed to minimize any data exposure.

Objective

VanishLink is designed to redefine the way information is shared temporarily, eliminating the need for permanent storage and ensuring full control over access, duration, and destruction of content.
