Take Every Path

Post-Quantum Distributed Storage

Erasure-coded. Quantum-safe. Globally distributed. Upload and download through parallel network paths - no chokepoints, no bottlenecks.

Technical Preview

The Quantum Threat

Current encryption standards (RSA, ECDSA) will be broken by quantum computers. When that happens, any data encrypted today could be decrypted retroactively.

"Harvest now, decrypt later" is already happening. Adversaries are collecting encrypted data today, waiting for quantum capability tomorrow.

ScatterBytes is built from the ground up with NIST-standardized post-quantum algorithms, so your data stays safe even when quantum computers arrive.

Why ScatterBytes

Post-Quantum Cryptography

All cryptographic operations use NIST-standardized quantum-resistant algorithms. Your data is protected against both current and future threats.

ML-KEM-768 / ML-DSA-65 / AES-256-GCM / SHAKE-256

Pragmatic Architecture

Engineering over hype. Distributed for performance and resilience. Central coordination for integrity and accountability. Crypto for efficiency.

Best tool for each job

Erasure Coding

Reed-Solomon coding creates redundancy efficiently. Configurable parity levels let you balance durability vs. storage overhead for your needs.

Configurable RS(k,n) / Automatic healing

Self-Healing Network

Continuous monitoring detects node failures automatically. The network re-encodes and redistributes data to maintain durability without manual intervention.

Automatic recovery / Always monitored

Sign Everything

Every chunk, every request, every response is cryptographically signed. Low-trust design means you verify, not assume. Tampering is always detected.

Cryptographic verification everywhere

Browser-Native

Storage nodes run TLS with valid certificates. Your browser connects directly to nodes for uploads and downloads—no plugins, no extensions, no middleware.

First-class web client / IPv6 IP certs

Parallel Transfers

Upload and download chunks through multiple nodes simultaneously. Each node has an independent network path—aggregate bandwidth scales with the network.

No chokepoints / Combined bandwidth

Client-Side Encryption

Data is encrypted on your device before upload. Storage nodes only ever see ciphertext. Your keys never leave your control.

Zero-knowledge / End-to-end encrypted

AI-Friendly

Built for the age of AI agents. Structured APIs, machine-readable output, consistent error codes. Your assistant can manage your storage.

Automation-first design

How It Works

1

Encrypt & Chunk

Your file is compressed, then encrypted with a quantum-safe key. The encrypted data is split into fixed-size chunks, each signed with your identity.

2

Scatter

Encrypted chunks are distributed to storage nodes around the world. Nodes store opaque blocks—like sectors on a disk—with no concept of files.

3

Encode Parity

Reed-Solomon erasure coding generates parity shards. Your data can now survive multiple node failures without any data loss.

4

Retrieve & Decrypt

When you need your data, chunks are fetched from available nodes, verified, reassembled, and decrypted locally with your key.
