Secrecy, the start-up defends “end-to-end encryption”

Louis Abraham takes on the role of Secrecy. At 24, the young man has already been talked about. He is one of the youngest to have joined Polytechnique. He was only 17 when he entered the prestigious engineering school. Brilliant student, orchestra conductor… and strong advocate of end-to-end encryption. Clever, he uses the notoriety that his exemplary university career has brought him as a base to promote the company he co-founded “with two friends» : Secrecy.me.

This application aims to build a secure ecosystem, accessible to developers and usable by both professionals and the general public. The idea is simple, although the processes used to set it up are a bit more complex. Data may be secure when it is stored, but it remains vulnerable when it travels over networks. “Everything must be encrypted: folders, files, messagesadvocates Louis Abraham, whose objective is to create a data ecosystem, a sort of secure universe in which critical information will be protected.

Online payment

“Our goal is to provide a single account that would be interoperable with as many services as possibleadds Louis Abraham. De facto, the Secrecy.me solution finds all its relevance in the interaction. It takes multiple application areas for end-to-end data encryption to be effective. A way to encapsulate information so that it is both actionable and protected.

Thus, one of the possible applications concerns online payment, with a solution allowing a merchant site to collect payment without accessing the customer’s banking information, by creating a sort of virtual single account. Other uses are possible in the exploitation of travel data for example. The data can be uploaded freely and then encrypted and anonymized to be used by a fleet manager. With this type of solution, Louis Abraham seeks to combine the use of data with their protection and that of the privacy of the people to whom they belong. A real challenge.
