Security and privacy can feel overwhelming, but hopefully this section made things a little clearer—and a little more actionable.
Here’s what we covered:
The difference between security and privacy, and why both matter
How even the most secure providers can still compromise your privacy if they hold your encryption keys
What the shared responsibility model means at Hivenet—you take care of your keys, we take care of everything else
How Hivenet’s distributed architecture and multi-layer encryption protect your files from the moment you hit upload
How we ensure data integrity through erasure codes and smart redundancy
Why your encryption passphrase is the most important thing you control—and how to keep it safe
What to do if you lose that passphrase, and how to start over if needed
Above all, we hope you feel empowered, not intimidated. You don’t need to understand every technical detail to stay protected—you just need to understand your role and take it seriously.
In the next section, we’ll shift focus to the heart of Hivenet’s infrastructure: our Contributors. They’re the ones who make our distributed cloud possible—and in return, they’re rewarded with lower costs, more control, and the chance to help shape the future of the internet.
