Key Takeaways & Quick Summary

Understanding encryption, session security, and why your files stay private within your own personal account space.

When evaluating any personal cloud storage solution, security and privacy are non-negotiable fundamentals. Traditional cloud providers frequently scan stored user media to build programmatic advertising profiles, or feed user files into proprietary machine learning models without explicit consent.

DOCK is built on a strict 'Private by Design' architecture. All files transferred through the DOCK web client are streamed directly into your personal Saved Messages channel using authenticated, end-to-end encrypted MTProto sessions.

At no point does DOCK inspect, mine, or monetize the contents of your files. File locators and metadata are isolated within single-tenant database partitions, preventing cross-user access or unauthorized data discovery.

Authentication in DOCK eliminates insecure static passwords. Users sign in using their phone number, and verification codes are delivered exclusively to their official Telegram app. Optional two-factor authentication (2FA) passwords are encrypted directly against Telegram's authentication endpoints without ever being stored in DOCK's databases.

All session tokens utilized by the DOCK API are signed using cryptographic HMAC signatures, and sensitive session credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM. This multi-layer defense guarantees that even in the event of an infrastructure compromise, unauthorized parties cannot decrypt stored user credentials.

With DOCK, you maintain 100% sovereign ownership over your digital memories, documents, and archives.
