Duress defence: reverse-PIN wipe, remote wipe, and space lock

2026-04-08 · Blink Security

We explain how Blink protects you when a device is seized — including a four-step factory-clean wipe and a decoy reverse-PIN that wipes on entry.

At Blink, security isn't a setting you switch on — it's the architecture. Messages and media are encrypted on your device with AES-256-GCM, our servers store only ciphertext, and the keys never leave your control. We publish how it works because trust should be verifiable, not assumed.

We're also candid about what isn't shipped yet. Where a capability is on our roadmap — like fully end-to-end encrypted calls, camouflage apps, or Swiss data residency — we say so plainly. Private by design. Fast by default.
