Security isn't a feature.It's the foundation.
Your health data is protected by the same cryptographic principles that secure government secrets and financial systems. Here's exactly how we do it.
The Core Principle
Pulse cannot read your data.
Not because we promise not to. Because it's mathematically impossible without your key.
Your Device
Where encryption happens
Pulse Servers
Only stores encrypted data
Military-Grade Encryption
We use the same encryption standards trusted by governments and financial institutions worldwide.
AES-256 Encryption
Your data is encrypted with AES-256, the same standard used to protect classified government information. Breaking it would take billions of years.
RSA Key Exchange
Secure key exchange using RSA-4096 asymmetric encryption. Your public key encrypts, only your private key decrypts.
TLS 1.3 in Transit
All data in transit is protected by TLS 1.3, the latest transport security protocol. Perfect forward secrecy ensures past sessions can't be compromised.
Zero-Knowledge Proofs
We can verify your identity without ever seeing your credentials. Authentication that proves who you are without revealing anything.
Encrypted at Rest
Even our database backups are encrypted. If someone stole our servers, they'd get meaningless random bytes.
Tamper-Proof Logs
Every access to your data is logged on an immutable ledger. Audit trails that can't be altered or deleted.
You Control Every Access
No blanket permissions. No hidden access. Every single time someone views your data, you decide exactly what they see, for how long, and why.
Granular Permissions
Share lab results without medications. Share allergies without full history. You define the scope.
Time-Limited Access
Set expiration dates on every share. Access automatically revokes when the period ends.
Purpose Logging
Every access request requires a stated purpose. See exactly why someone wanted your data.
Instant Revocation
Change your mind? Revoke access immediately with one tap. Previous access is logged, future access is denied.
