One-Time Message (OTM)
Messages that self-destruct after a single view
In Short
A message that can only be read once before being permanently deleted, ensuring sensitive information doesn't persist.
Explained
One-time messages combine encryption with single-read enforcement. The encrypted message is stored temporarily, and upon first retrieval, it's immediately deleted from the server. The recipient gets one chance to read it.
How zkChat Implements This
zkChat's OTM feature lets you create encrypted messages that self-destruct after being viewed once. Perfect for sharing passwords, keys, or sensitive information. The message is deleted from our servers the moment it's retrieved.
