02In one sentence
AnonyMax finds the licence plates, faces, personal details and codes in your photos, covers them so they can't be read back, removes the hidden data, and checks its own work, entirely on your device.
03The story
“We un-blurred our own app. Then we fixed it.” Before launch, we attacked AnonyMax's own blur with a short guess-and-compare program. On a screenshot, it read back a blurred 16-digit card number in full in about a minute, and did the same with pixelation and a head-on licence plate. Our own self-check missed it every time.
We removed the old blur and pixelate from every edition. Every cover is now built only from the pixels around a secret plus fresh randomness, never from the secret itself. The same attack now does no better than guessing on every cover we ship, and ten leak tests run in every build: if a secret ever leaks again, the app is not built. The full account, with the numbers, is on How it works.
