CipherEdge vs One-Time Secret

One-Time Secret has been around since 2012 and serves developers and technically-minded users comfortable with open-source tools. But it uses server-side encryption — meaning their infrastructure can technically read your secrets. CipherEdge uses zero-knowledge client-side encryption. Here's what that means in practice.
