Meerkat is a zero-trust application with high data reliability that fundamentally prevents data and information leakage on cloud storage by its unique design. Meerkat provides an easy, yet truly “own your own privacy” solution for mobile users in the cloud era. You can fully enjoy all the benefits of cloud services, while safely and securely protecting your cloud data on your own and truly owning your data privacy.
High data reliability
- Meerkat leverages world-renowned cloud services to store data in a cross-cloud redundant manner. A single cloud service down will not affect the availability of your data and access.
- Meerkat provides system backup/restore feature to paid users for in case of device broken, loss or change. All user needed to restore everything onto a new device are their PIN Code and a backup QR code.
Cloud Data Leak Prevention (CDLP)
- Meerkat encrypts all data with AES256 on local device level before uploading to cloud.
- Combined with Secret Sharing, slice data stored on any single cloud service are merely random generated, meaningless binaries. As no information, even any part of the information about the original data can be extracted or inferred from it, thus fundamentally stopping the leakage of information from the cloud.
- The advanced Quantum-safe Secret Sharing option is a theoretic secure, perfect encryption that cannot be broken even with unlimited computing power.
Zero-trust App
- Data stored in the cloud storage is doubly protected by Secret Sharing and AES256. This combination of CDLP prevents information leakage from any cloud, as only a few randomly generated, meaningless pieces of data are stored on any individual cloud.
- All Internet data transfers are protected by SSL to ensure that data uploaded to the cloud is not intercepted or delivered to an unintended destination.
- In addition to Meerkat storage, users can also use their private storage (BYOS). Meerkat does not require user credentials to access BYOS storage. E.g., Google Drive authenticates users by way of OAuth, and the authentication process is handled directly between the user and Google Drive service, rather than mediated through Meerkat.
- Other than to usual Apps, Meerkat has no centric server to store user’s system data. All system data incl. Master Encryption Key, PIN Code, Double Lock Passwords etc. are stored on and only on user’s local device.
