You know that @idOS_network uses "end-to-end encryption", but what do these weird words actually mean?
Let’s break it down without the technical pain 👇
• Everyone gets their own key 🔐 idOS encrypts your data using a key that belongs only to you. Not shared, not global - yours. So even if someone somehow accessed a storage node, all they’d see is encrypted noise.
• Operators can’t read anything ❌ Nodes store your data, but they can’t decrypt it, they don’t have your private key, idOS doesn’t have it either. Only you can unlock your own data.
• Why this is powerful ⚡ Instead of platforms owning your identity and deciding who sees it, idOS switches the roles: You hold your data, and apps ask you for permission.
And that’s the whole point, an identity system where nobody can misuse your data because nobody has it except you. Privacy isn’t a promise here, it’s built into the architecture 🔥
