Document Encryption

Your documents safe – even if they fall into the wrong hands

Waipal encrypts your files using AES-256 and stores them in a secured cloud vault. Only those you authorise can access the document.

Why encrypt

Sharing sensitive documents? Without encryption you're at risk.

Email, cloud storage or a USB drive – every transfer channel is a potential risk. If an attacker intercepts your file, without the encryption key it's worthless to them.

Waipal encrypts the file directly on your device: only the encrypted version is uploaded to the server. Your key stays with you alone. Even Waipal cannot access the content.

Contracts & legal documents

NDAs, business contracts, agreements – protect the content from unauthorised access.

Photos & media

Personal photos, reportage or product media you don't want to share publicly.

Business documents

Internal reports, strategies, proposals or sensitive financial statements.

Source code & data

Proprietary code, database exports or configuration files with credentials.

Personal documents

Passports, ID cards, medical records or other sensitive personal files.

Archives & backups

ZIP archives or backup files containing sensitive project data.

How it works

Encryption in four simple steps

The whole process takes just a few seconds. No software installation required.

1

Upload your file

Select the document you want to encrypt. The file is processed directly in your browser.

2

Waipal encrypts the file

The system encrypts the file using AES-256-CBC. Without the correct key, the content is unreadable.

3

The encrypted file is stored

Only the encrypted version is uploaded to secure cloud storage. The original never leaves your device.

What you get

Encryption that truly protects

Waipal uses military-grade encryption standards. Every file is protected by a unique key and no content is accessible without authorisation.

  • AES-256-CBC encryption – industry standard used by governments and banks worldwide

  • Zero knowledge – file content remains private – even Waipal cannot read it

  • Unique encryption key – each file is protected by its own key generated at encryption time

  • Secure cloud storage – encrypted files are stored in secured Azure Blob Storage

Waipal does not share or store your encryption key. You are the sole owner of access to your document's content.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about document encryption

AES-256 is a military-grade encryption standard used by governments, banks and security agencies worldwide. Without the correct key it is practically unbreakable.

No. Waipal operates on a zero-knowledge principle – your encryption key never leaves your device and only the encrypted version of the file is uploaded to the server. Nobody can read the document content without your key.

Without the encryption key it is not possible to decrypt the file. We therefore recommend storing the key securely – for example in a password manager. Waipal does not store the key and cannot recover it for you.

No, they are two separate services. Encryption protects the content of your document from unauthorised access. A blockchain certificate proves that the document existed in a specific form at a specific point in time. Both services can be used independently or in combination.

Practically any digital file: documents (PDF, Word, Excel), images (JPG, PNG), source code, ZIP archives and more. There is no restriction on file format.
