Spideroak down software#

Comparison of file synchronization software.

A combination of 2048-bit RSA and 256-bit AES.

This claim, however, cannot be confirmed due to the client being closed source

Claimed 'no knowledge' data encryption if you only use the desktop client, that is, no sharing, web-access, or mobile access.

Retrieve files from any internet-connected device.

Share folders in web ShareRooms with RSS notifications.

Preserve all historical versions and deleted files.

Configurable multi-platform synchronization.

All data accessible in one de-duplicated location.

It is impossible to tell if the change was internally driven or canary was tripped and the company has been compelled by court order to hide the fact. By August 9, Spideroak had also updated their transparency report, making a statement concerning the canary. Five days later, the canary was re-signed using GPG encryption. It was then replaced by a transparency report. On August 1, 2018, the warrant canary on SpiderOak's website briefly vanished, followed by some system downtime.

In November 2017, founder Alan Fairless was replaced as CEO by Christopher Skinner, who announced that the company would be expanding into enterprise software, partially funded by a $2 million Series B round. SpiderOak adopted the phrase 'no knowledge' for their marketing.

In February 2017, SpiderOak discontinued using the phrase 'zero knowledge' to describe their service following public criticism that the phrase conflicted with the mechanism behind cryptographic zero-knowledge proofs. In 2015, SpiderOak raised $3.5 million in Series A funding, bringing its total funding to around $9 million. Around the same time, the company had offices in Chicago and Kansas City, and was hiring remote employees inside and outside of the US. Īs of 2014, SpiderOak was headquartered in Chicago and employed 42 staff, headed by CEO Alan Fairless. By mid-2014, according to Oberman, SpiderOak had near 1 million users. In 2013, SpiderOak began developing the Crypton framework, 'a JavaScript framework for building applications where the server doesn't know the contents it's storing on behalf of users.' Crypton is an open-source project allowing developers to easily add encryption security to mobile applications. SpiderOak was founded in 2007 by Ethan Oberman and Alan Fairless as an encrypted private backup program.

Spideroak down code#

The source code for SpiderOak's group messaging application Semaphor is published to allow auditing.

Spideroak down password#

SpiderOak used to provide an open-source password manager named Encryptr, which was discontinued in March 2021. As of 2016, the SpiderOak One client's source code is only available open-source for mobile platforms, with no current plans to make the desktop client's code open-source. Some components of SpiderOak are open-source in 2009, the company announced its intent for the SpiderOak One client's code to be fully open-source in the future. SpiderOak differentiates itself from its competition by this kind of encryption, in provision for syncing files and folders across multiple devices, and in automatic de-duplication of data. Īccording to SpiderOak, the software uses encrypted cloud storage and client-side encryption key creation, so SpiderOak employees cannot access users' information.
