About

PrivateBin is a minimalist, open source online pastebin where the server has zero knowledge of pasted data. Data is encrypted and decrypted in the browser using 256-bit AES in Galois Counter mode, ensuring your information remains private and secure. This platform is a fork of ZeroBin, refactored for easier extensions and additional features, while maintaining compatibility with ZeroBin 0.19 data storage schemes. PrivateBin provides a secure way to share text documents, code samples, and other information without worrying about server-side data breaches. While the server admin can delete pastes if necessary, the encryption ensures that the content remains private and unreadable to unauthorized parties. Use PrivateBin over HTTPS to ensure maximum security, and always share passwords privately and securely.
