🔒 Sealed Tip

Anonymous Tips.
Sealed & Encrypted.PREMIUM

Submit sensitive information to verified organizations without revealing your identity. End-to-end encrypted, zero-knowledge architecture. No account required for tipsters.

City of Hats Sealed Tip

Report Without Risk

Sealed Tip lets anyone send encrypted information to an organization — without accounts, phone numbers, or any identifying data. The tip is sealed on your device before it ever leaves.

  • No account, phone number, or email required to submit a tip
  • End-to-end encrypted — only the recipient organization can decrypt
  • Zero-knowledge servers — City of Hats cannot read tip content
  • Tamper-proof delivery with cryptographic integrity verification
  • Configurable auto-destroy timers and burn-after-read

Built for Source Protection

Every layer of Sealed Tip is designed to protect the identity of the person submitting information — from encryption to delivery to destruction.

🕵️

True Anonymity

No account creation, no phone number, no email. Tipsters submit through a one-time encrypted channel. No metadata is stored that could link a tip to any identity.

ANONYMOUS
🔐

End-to-End Encryption

Tips are encrypted on the sender's device using AES-256-GCM before transmission. The server only stores ciphertext — decryption happens exclusively on the recipient organization's device.

Auto-Destroy Lifecycle

Tips can be configured with burn-after-read, limited retrieval counts, and auto-destroy timers. Once destroyed, the encrypted payload is permanently erased from all servers.

BURN

Organization Verification

Recipient organizations are verified to ensure tips reach the intended party. Cryptographic key verification prevents impersonation and man-in-the-middle attacks.

VERIFIED

How Sealed Tip Works

Four steps from submission to secure delivery. The tipster's identity is never recorded, linked, or stored at any point in the process.

1

Open Tip Channel

Access the organization's Sealed Tip page — no login or account required. A one-time encrypted channel is established.

2

Compose & Seal

Write your tip and attach evidence. Everything is encrypted locally on your device before it ever touches a server.

3

Anonymous Delivery

The sealed tip is transmitted through encrypted relay. No IP logs, no session cookies, no identifying metadata retained.

4

Secure Retrieval

The verified organization decrypts and reads the tip on their device. Burn-after-read or auto-destroy kicks in per the configured rules.
