Nextcloud introduced End-to-end Encryption in Nextcloud 13. This offers the ultimate protection for your data, securely encrypting it on your devices before it is sent to the server. While this means some feature loss (no online editing! No public sharing!), when used for a sup-set of extremely sensitive data like your credit card details, drivers license or the fiscal year report draft of a company, it is a unique and crucial addition to a file sync and share solution.

The Nextcloud End-to-end Encryption design is unique in several ways, offering a fully secure way of sharing without passwords, easy addition of new devices and an optional admin recovery key.

In this presentation I'll go over the requirements we defined, the threat model we applied and the full design of the solution. No code or algorithms, but high level "what does what, when and how". I promise pretty diagrams to help you understand a complex solution to a complex problem!

If you are into crypto, you are very much invited to join and provide feedback on the solution we came up with.
