About Cyph

Cyph is a cryptographically secure messaging and social networking service, providing an extreme level of privacy combined with best-in-class ease of use.

Cyph’s patented technology — built by former SpaceX engineers, audited by Cure53, and the basis of research presentations at Black Hat and DEF CON — uniquely allows Cyph to solve the major security and usability limitations of conventional solutions.

Baron Joshua Cyrus Boehm, COO

Cyph was founded by Ryan Lester and Josh Boehm, former SpaceX engineers and best friends of over 20 years who had spent many all-nighters working closely together on various software projects. Cyph was initially started through the Mach37 Cyber Accelerator, and is currently backed by the Goel Fund and Center for Innovative Technology.

Our Mission

Users should own their private data, not companies, governments, or hackers. We believe that users do care about their privacy, but current encryption solutions are too difficult for the average person to use properly. Ultimately it doesn’t matter how strong of a lock you have, if it’s too difficult to use.

That’s why our mission at Cyph is to make powerful encryption tools as easy as possible for everyone to use and adopt as the norm.

In order to be easily adoptable by everyone, we knew we needed to create a secure web application (only possible through our patented WebSign technology) and verify user fingerprints. For more technical information on how Cyph is different, see our post: Why should you use Cyph?
