Project overview

Secure content management with end-to-end encryption.

Important information for users

This is an early-stage project and as such only provides low-level functionality and APIs at present. Please note the APIs might change before reaching v1.0.

Basic usage

First, create an account. This will also generate a set of ECC encryption keys associated with your account.

Alice$ sniptt create-account --email "alice@example.com" --name "Alice's personal 👩‍💻" --passphrase "numbingrelatableliquefy"

A verification email will be sent to the provided email address. Once you've verified your email, you can start using e2e to manage content securely.

Alice$ sniptt create --from-file "credentials.csv" --passphrase "numbingrelatableliquefy"
{"MessageId":"BhY0TShLng","MessageStatus":"Creating"}

You can then read your message.

Alice$ sniptt read BhY0TShLng --passphrase "numbingrelatableliquefy"

To list all messages for your account, use the following command.

Alice$ sniptt messages

You can share messages with other accounts.

Alice$ sniptt share BhY0TShLng --email "bob@example.com" --name "🕵️‍♂️" --passphrase "numbingrelatableliquefy"
{"MessageGrantId":"JjqKaUpwS0"}

The nominated account will receive an email notification that read access has been granted to your message.

They will be able to read your message using the --grant option.

Bob$ sniptt read BhY0TShLng --grant

Users can view all their grants using the following command.

Bob$ sniptt grants

FAQs

Why are there account limits in place?

Compute and storage cost money, therefore the most sensible thing to do at the moment is to make sure these costs can be covered when usage exceeds certain parameters.

Currently, users are able to create 10 messages per month and share each message with 1 additional user for free.

Additionally, we offer 2 paid tiers for users who wish to upgrade:

1. Personal tier

• 30 messages per month
• 3 grants per message
• Ability to delete messages

Cost: ~ 1 ☕️ per month (please contact support@e2e.sh to subscribe)

2. Team tier

• 100 messages per month
• 5 grants per message
• Ability to delete messages
• Ability to set auto-expiry on messages

Cost: ~ 3 ☕️ per month (please contact support@e2e.sh to subscribe)

Please note that there are additional restrictions (rate-limiting and daily request quotas) in place for each user and upgrading to a paid tier does not remove or update them.

Why do I need to provide my email?

Your email address is used for account-related transactional email only.

We currently use email to verify customers' accounts, and to notify customers of account-related activity such as obtaining access rights to a message.

The only 3rd party we share your email address with is Stripe, however this only applies in the case that you decide to upgrade your account to a paid tier.

Why are my requests sometimes taking longer than expected?

There may be 2 reasons for this:

1. Currently the API is only deployed in eu-west-2 (London) therefore some users will likely experience longer than usual response times; and
2. The platform is mostly serverless therefore some users might occasionally experience cold starts resulting in longer than usual response times (e.g. ~1 second).

Roadmap to v1.0

Currently, there is an in-progress quick-and-dirty GitHub project to help track progress against a stable v1.0 release.
