Brocryption
The act of claiming your app uses “end-to-end encryption” while refusing to show the code, the protocol, or literally anything that proves it. Security is provided by the developer’s confidence, not cryptography.
Definition:
A magical form of “encryption” powered by trust-me energy. If you ask for the source code, a third-party audit, or even basic documentation, you will be accused of “not believing in the vision.”
Typical features of Brocryption™:
Closed source
No audits
No whitepaper
Lots of buzzwords
Zero math
Warning signs:
If the security model requires faith instead of proofs, congratulations, you’ve encountered Brocryption™.

I asked how their encryption worked and they said ‘we can’t show you, it’s proprietary.’ That’s not end-to-end, that’s Brocryption.
