PrivateBin is a minimalist, open source encrypted pastebin where data is encrypted/decrypted in the browser, ensuring the server has zero knowledge of the pasted content.
A minimalist, open source online pastebin where the server has zero knowledge of pasted data. Data is encrypted/decrypted in the browser using 256 bits AES.
PrivateBin is used to securely share text documents, code snippets, or other textual data without exposing the content to the server or third parties. It is ideal for users who need privacy and data protection when sharing sensitive information online, such as developers, journalists, or privacy-conscious individuals.
Always use PrivateBin over HTTPS to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks and trust only secure, uncompromised instances. Use strong passwords for password-protected pastes and share them securely. Server administrators have plausible deniability but can be compelled to provide access logs. Avoid accessing PrivateBin instances suspected to be compromised to prevent key leakage via malicious injected code.
