Send a password, file, or code with a temporary link
With ITYLOS, you can share a password, code, or file without exposing it in an email or message. Your content is protected on your device before sending, then shared through a temporary link.
Summary
ITYLOS is a secure secret transmission tool, not a permanent storage vault. The user deposits text or a file, chooses a lifetime, can add an unlock password, then gets a link to share separately. The goal is to avoid sending in plaintext via email, messaging, support tickets, or collaborative documents.
Client-side encryption
The secret is transformed into an encrypted envelope before leaving the browser. The goal is to transport an opaque capsule rather than exploitable plaintext content.
Ephemeral destruction
The capsule is designed for a short cycle: creation, transmission, reading, expiration or destruction. This limits unintentional retention of critical information.
Text and sensitive files
You can share anything from a password to a PDF, environment file, SQL export, image or confidential technical document.
Why use a secure ephemeral link instead of an email?
In 2026, a significant portion of secret leaks comes not from cryptographic breaches, but from poor circulation of sensitive information: passwords sent in plaintext by email, API keys pasted in chat, environment files transmitted in tickets, SQL exports shared without protection, or confidential PDFs forgotten in messaging apps.
This page aims precisely to solve this operational problem. Instead of multiplying copies of a secret across multiple tools, you create an ephemeral capsule dedicated to a single transmission. The link becomes the sharing vector, while the content remains locally encrypted before sending. This reduces attack surfaces, unintentional archives, and dormant traces.
Common use cases for secure secret sharing
- Send a temporary password to a client, colleague, or contractor without leaving it in a mailbox.
- Share an API key, access token, Wi-Fi password, OTP code, or infrastructure secret.
- Transmit an ENV file, configuration excerpt, SQL export, legal PDF, or confidential document.
- Send a short-read private message when immediate confidentiality takes precedence over archiving.
FAQ - Digital envelope, ephemeral link and secret sharing
Useful answers for user understanding
How to send a password more securely than by email or chat?
Create an ephemeral capsule on this page then share the generated link. The secret is not left in plaintext in the email or conversation. This reduces exposure to archives, transfers, synced copies, and later searches in communication tools.
Can I share sensitive files with ITYLOS?
Yes. The page accepts text and several file types, including PDF, SQL, ENV, images, audio and video. Images are re-encoded when possible to limit metadata persistence before encryption.
Can the server read the content I send?
The architecture aims for Zero-Knowledge operation: the secret is encrypted in the browser before transmission. The server receives a technical envelope intended for transport, not exploitable plaintext content.
What is the optional unlock password for?
It adds an extra layer of control. If the link circulates unintentionally, opening still requires knowledge of the password set at creation. This is useful for the most critical secrets.
What lifetime should I choose for an ephemeral capsule?
Choose the shortest lifetime compatible with the actual need. For a one-time password, one hour is often enough. For a document, twenty-four hours or seven days may be more appropriate.
What does “Save full link in my local Terminal” mean?
If you enable this option, the browser locally stores the link with its decryption key in the ITYLOS history on your device. This makes practical reuse easier, but adds a local trace.
Does ITYLOS replace a password vault?
No. The logic of this page is secure and ephemeral transmission, not long-term storage. For long-term retention, a password manager remains more appropriate.
