Every action has an equal opposite reaction. The exploits of user identity and data, particularly on social platforms, triggered a reaction in a group of technical guys back in 2016. They got together, racked their brains for several weeks, to conceptualize a privacy platform that does not capture any user information and yet provides social networking features. This gave birth to Riddlock.
Creating a privacy platform of user anonymity, multi-layered encryption and private networking was a challenge from day one. Signing up users without name, identity or profile data, including email id and mobile number, was tricky. Security algorithms were an unknown to the team. Offering data sharing features without any personally identifiable information seemed like an impossible task. Having the DNA of software professionals, who actually thrive on challenges, the team worked relentlessly on creating a unique model to make all of this possible.
Building confidence at every step, the target now is to 'build a trusted community platform for people to co-exist, connect and collaborate with total privacy.' The journey is certainly going to be long but surely fulfilling.
