VERIFY THE PERSON, PROTECT THE CONVERSATION
Connect through a temporary accepted invitation, use local vault protection and keep delivery outcomes clear. Consider the devices and people involved before sharing sensitive material.
A display name alone is not proof of identity.
AT A GLANCE
Use an appropriate trusted channel.
Consider the endpoints, network and recipient.
Temporary delivery does not replace your records.
THE STARTING POINT
Accepted-contact communication, local vault protection, device pairing/revocation, local search and verified delivery. Direct is preferred; permitted temporary Secure Relay expires within 12 hours or earlier after receipt.
A CLEAR NEXT STEP
A journalist confirms a source through a trusted channel, then sends a single-use invitation. The source accepts once. An encrypted text can wait up to 12 hours if the recipient is temporarily offline.
START WITH THE PERSON
A private conversation begins by identifying the correct person through an appropriate trusted channel. A display name or invitation link alone does not establish identity. Consider devices, recipients and network context before sharing.
A temporary delivery path is not an anonymity service. Direct communication can disclose network addressing to peers. Encryption does not protect material after a recipient saves it or a device is compromised.
Plan how to retain the material you need. Local deletion does not erase another person’s saved copy. Apply the judgment and practices appropriate to the situation.
Security →THE DETAILS THAT MATTER
Follow the controls, delivery rules and responsibilities that apply to journalists & sources.
One-to-one uses plan allowances. Unlimited group creation is free; every group message, file and call uses separate pay-as-you-go accounting. Sender pays messages/files; initiating caller pays calls; receivers pay nothing.
Sornix is not a promise of anonymity or source protection against every threat. Direct communication may reveal network addressing to peers; a compromised device or recipient can expose content. Avoid identifying claims and assess the situation before contact.
YOUR CONVERSATION. YOUR NEXT STEP.
Continue in Sornix to set up your identity, manage your devices and use the communication tools. Choose your contacts deliberately, protect local access and review paid usage before starting.
