Wormhole is a tool run by your browser that allows you to share end-to-end encrypted files instantly.
Η service χρησιμοποιεί την πλατφόρμα του WebTorrent και είναι δωρεάν για όλους. Το BitTorrent θα επιταχύνει τις μεταφορές, και δεν χρειάζεται να αφήσετε το παράθυρο του προletterof browsing open if the files are smaller than five gigabytes.
The WebTorrent platform has built a bridge between BitTorrent and the Web. Instead of needing a standalone application, you can share files directly from your browser without having to configure or install anything.
The new "Wormhole" service not only offers free file sharing, but also adds a level of privacy by offering end-to-end encrypted file transfers. And while using WebTorrent, users of the service do not need to do seeding.
The project was started by Feross Aboukhadijeh, who also invented WebTorrent. Together with John Hiesey, he developed Wormhole to allow secure file transfers in seconds. No registration required.
The emphasis on speed and security sets the service apart from many competitors. Using end-to-end encryption, only the sender and receiver can see the files, which is not the case with Dropbox, WeTransfer and many other platforms.
When you use Wormhole, a key is generated in the device and is used to encrypt your files. In transit, your data is unreadable by Wormhole and service providers such as your ISP.
Wormhole uses a combination of cloud hosting servers along with BitTorrent technology to let you share large files as quickly as possible. If you're uploading a two-gigabyte video, you can share the link with other people instantly, even when you haven't finished it upload.
Wormhole Feross co-founder says this allows recipients to download the files right away - before the file is fully hosted on the service's servers.
