CipherEdge vs PrivateBin
PrivateBin has been around since 2015 and serves technical users who want to self-host an encrypted pastebin. 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.
