Element Secure Messaging FAQ

Self-hosting gives you complete control over your infrastructure, encryption keys, and data. Unlike cloud platforms where vendors can access your messages, our self-hosted Element platform ensures zero-knowledge architecture where even we cannot decrypt your communications. Your servers, your keys, your data.
Yes! Element supports anonymous registration without requiring phone numbers or email addresses. Combined with Tor network compatibility, metadata encryption, and pseudonymous Matrix IDs, users can communicate with complete anonymity. The platform is designed with privacy-by-design principles.
Element uses the Matrix protocol with Olm/Megolm end-to-end encryption, implementing Double Ratchet algorithm with Perfect Forward Secrecy. Unlike vendor-controlled encryption, all keys are generated client-side. Cross-signing provides device verification, and the server cannot decrypt any messages or metadata.

Built-in support for GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, and other regulatory frameworks. Features include configurable data retention policies, encrypted audit logging, compliance reporting tools, and granular privacy controls. Self-hosting ensures direct compliance control without vendor dependencies.
Full integration with SAML, OIDC, LDAP, and Active Directory. Supports automated user provisioning, role-based access controls, federation management, and granular permissions. Enterprise admins have complete control over user lifecycle and access policies.
