Your content is your livelihood. CHASEME is the only creator platform built from the ground up with per-content encryption, HSM-backed key management, FIPS 140-2 compliance, and zero-knowledge architecture. Every file, every stream, every message -- cryptographically protected by default.
Content leaks cost creators thousands of dollars in lost revenue every year. Beyond the financial damage, leaked content destroys the exclusivity that subscribers pay for, erodes trust, and can have lasting personal consequences. Most creator platforms treat security as an afterthought -- a checkbox item buried under growth metrics and payment processing.
CHASEME was founded on a different principle: security is the product. Every architectural decision, from how we store a single image to how we deliver live streams, begins with the question "how do we make this cryptographically secure by default?" The result is a platform where content protection is not a feature you enable -- it is the foundation everything else is built upon.
If you are evaluating OnlyFans alternatives and security is your priority, this page provides a transparent, technical breakdown of how CHASEME protects your content at every layer of the stack. Read more about our security architecture or see how we compare directly to OnlyFans.
Most platforms encrypt data at the storage volume level. This means a single encryption key protects millions of files belonging to thousands of creators. If that key is compromised through a breach, insider threat, or misconfiguration, every file is exposed simultaneously.
CHASEME implements envelope encryption at the individual content level. When you upload a photo, video, or document, a unique 256-bit AES-GCM data encryption key (DEK) is generated exclusively for that file. The DEK encrypts the content, then the DEK itself is wrapped (encrypted) by a key encryption key (KEK) stored in a Hardware Security Module. The plaintext DEK never exists on disk and never leaves the HSM boundary during key operations.
The practical impact: compromising one key exposes one file, not your entire content library. An attacker would need to independently compromise billions of unique keys to access a meaningful volume of platform content.
The strength of any encryption system depends on how keys are managed. Software-based key management systems (KMS) store keys in memory or on disk, where they can be extracted through memory dumps, cold boot attacks, or compromised system administrators.
CHASEME stores all master keys and key encryption keys in Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) certified to FIPS 140-2 Level 3. These are purpose-built cryptographic processors with physical tamper detection and response mechanisms. Keys generated inside the HSM cannot be exported in plaintext. All cryptographic operations -- key generation, wrapping, unwrapping, and signing -- occur within the HSM boundary.
FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification is the standard required by U.S. federal agencies, financial institutions, and healthcare organizations for protecting sensitive data. CHASEME is the only creator platform that meets this standard for content key management.
When a subscriber cancels, disputes a charge, or is terminated for policy violations, CHASEME does not simply invalidate a session cookie. The subscriber's unique decryption keys are destroyed at the HSM level. This is cryptographic revocation -- the mathematical ability to decrypt content is permanently removed, not just the permission to request it.
This eliminates the window of vulnerability that exists on platforms using session-based or token-based access control, where cached content or stolen tokens can provide continued access after cancellation.
Cryptographic best practice requires regular key rotation to limit the blast radius of any potential key compromise. CHASEME performs automatic key rotation on configurable schedules with zero subscriber-facing downtime.
During rotation, new DEKs are generated within the HSM, and content is re-encrypted using a copy-on-read strategy that avoids expensive bulk re-encryption operations. Creators can configure rotation frequency from their creator dashboard or trigger immediate rotation at any time.
On conventional platforms, administrators, engineers, and support staff have implicit access to stored content. Database administrators can query any record. Infrastructure engineers can access storage volumes. Support teams can view content to handle disputes. This creates a large attack surface for insider threats and social engineering.
CHASEME's zero-knowledge architecture eliminates this category of risk entirely. Content is encrypted before it reaches our servers, and decryption keys are managed through HSMs with strict, audited access policies. No CHASEME employee can view your decrypted content, even with full server access. Not our engineers, not our support team, not our executives.
This architectural decision has trade-offs -- it makes certain support operations more complex and requires creators to manage their own content moderation flags. We believe this trade-off is correct. Your content is yours, and no platform employee should have the ability to browse it.
Prevention starts with making content difficult to capture. CHASEME implements multi-layer DRM with hardware-backed attestation, screen capture detection on supported devices, and dynamic delivery that resists automated scraping tools. Live streams use AES-256-CTR encryption with per-segment key rotation, generating new keys every 60 seconds.
When prevention fails -- because no system is perfect -- attribution takes over. Every content delivery embeds invisible forensic watermarks unique to the subscriber. These watermarks are robust against screenshots, screen recordings, format conversion, cropping, compression, and re-encoding. When leaked content is detected through CHASEME's automated scanning or creator reports, the source subscriber is identified and their account is immediately suspended.
CHASEME also generates legal evidence packages with chain-of-custody documentation suitable for DMCA enforcement, civil litigation, or law enforcement referral.

Content is stored unencrypted or with volume-level encryption. Access is controlled by session tokens and API permissions. If the server is compromised, all content is immediately accessible. Most creator platforms, including OnlyFans, operate at this tier. Revocation depends on session expiration, and there is no per-content protection.
Each file is encrypted with its own key, but all subscribers share the same decryption path. Key management may use software-based KMS without hardware protection. Revocation disables access but does not destroy keys. This tier provides meaningful defense-in-depth but lacks the granularity needed for forensic tracing or instant cryptographic revocation.
Every combination of content and subscriber generates a unique key derivation. Keys are managed in FIPS 140-2 Level 3 HSMs. Revocation destroys the subscriber's unique key material. Forensic watermarks are embedded per-delivery. This is the architecture used by financial institutions and defense contractors, now available to independent creators through CHASEME.
CHASEME uses a multi-layered defense system. Every piece of content is encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a unique data encryption key (DEK). Each subscriber receives content decrypted through their own unique session key, allowing forensic watermarks to be embedded per-viewer. If content surfaces outside the platform, these invisible fingerprints identify exactly which subscriber account was responsible. Combined with real-time DMCA scanning and automated takedown pipelines, CHASEME provides the most comprehensive leak prevention in the creator economy.
The moment a subscription lapses or is canceled, CHASEME performs instant cryptographic revocation. The subscriber's unique decryption keys are destroyed at the HSM level, making it mathematically impossible to decrypt any previously accessible content. This is fundamentally different from session-based revocation used by other platforms, where cached content may remain accessible until the session expires. On CHASEME, revocation is immediate and irreversible.
CHASEME implements an envelope encryption architecture using AES-256-GCM for content encryption and RSA-4096 or ECDSA P-384 for key wrapping. All master keys are stored in FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) that are physically tamper-resistant. Data in transit is protected by TLS 1.3 with certificate pinning, and internal service-to-service communication uses mutual TLS (mTLS). Live streams use AES-256-CTR with per-segment key rotation.
Yes. Every content delivery includes invisible forensic watermarks unique to the subscriber. These watermarks survive screenshots, screen recordings, format conversions, and compression. CHASEME's detection system can identify the source subscriber from even partial captures or degraded copies. Once identified, the account is automatically suspended, and legal evidence packages are generated for DMCA enforcement or civil action.
Zero-knowledge architecture means that CHASEME's infrastructure is designed so that platform operators cannot access your decrypted content. Content is encrypted client-side before upload, and decryption keys are managed through HSMs with strict access policies. Even in the event of a server breach or insider threat, your content remains encrypted and unreadable. This is a fundamental architectural advantage over platforms where administrators have implicit access to all stored content.
CHASEME performs automatic key rotation on configurable schedules without any service interruption. When a key rotation occurs, new data encryption keys are generated within the HSM, and content is re-encrypted in the background using a copy-on-read strategy. Subscribers experience zero downtime because the platform transparently manages the transition between old and new key versions. Creators can also trigger manual key rotation at any time from their security dashboard.
CHASEME's cryptographic infrastructure meets FIPS 140-2 Level 3 requirements for key management, uses SOC 2 Type II audited hosting infrastructure, and follows OWASP security guidelines for application security. All encryption implementations are built on audited, open-source cryptographic libraries rather than proprietary algorithms. Regular third-party penetration testing and bug bounty programs provide continuous security validation.
Traditional platforms encrypt data at the volume or database level, meaning a single key protects millions of files. If that key is compromised, all content is exposed. CHASEME generates a unique encryption key for every individual piece of content. Compromising one key exposes only one file, not your entire library. Combined with per-subscriber key derivation, this creates billions of unique key combinations that make mass data exfiltration practically impossible.
Stop trusting platforms that treat encryption as a marketing bullet point. CHASEME delivers verifiable, auditable, standards-compliant security for every piece of content you create.
