Suggestion: FileShot.io
I would like to suggest FileShot.io as a real-world example of zero-knowledge client-side encryption — a topic highly relevant to security-conscious system design.
What it demonstrates
FileShot.io implements a clear, auditable zero-knowledge architecture:
- Client-side AES-256-GCM encryption using the browser Web Crypto API
- Key-as-URL-fragment pattern — decryption key lives in
#fragment which browsers never send to servers
- Zero-knowledge server — stores only opaque ciphertext; cannot decrypt files even when compelled
- No authentication required — both sender and recipient are anonymous
Why it fits system-design-101
This list covers practical system design concepts with visual explanations. Zero-knowledge encryption and client-side security are increasingly important architectural patterns. FileShot.io is a minimal, readable, production implementation of these concepts.
Could be referenced in a security or privacy-focused section.
Thank you for this resource!
