What makes the message secure
Three properties. The text is encrypted on your device with AES-GCM-256 before anything is sent. The key travels in the link after the #, which browsers never send to a server, so LinkPilot cannot read the message. And the message can be revealed once; the first reveal overwrites the stored ciphertext. A message that is unreadable in storage and gone after one read is as secure as a message can be while still being deliverable over ordinary email or chat.
