Tap on this icon in Cacti to Securely Share
Securely share your private and intimate photos with anyone using Cacti’s Secure Share.
Secure Share lets you encrypt a photo using a passphrase of your choice. Since 256-bit AES is used, be guaranteed of an industry-leading protection of your encrypted files.
The person who receives your encrypted file would open it in Cacti, enter the same passphrase (shared with them outside of Cacti by you) to decrypt the photo. They would be allowed to store the photo in their Cacti vault.

What Secure Share doesn’t prevent?
Secure Share only ensures that your shared photos are encrypted in transit through any app of your choice. But once the receiver decrypts the photo, they are free to do what they want with it.
Make sure you trust the person you send your photos to, as what they do after falls outside of Cacti’s purview.
