Technical Implementation and Usage Scenarios of Ghost Mode
Ghost Mode, unique to Lumo Mobile, is an innovative privacy feature for instant messaging that works like the security concept of "self-destructing messages". When this mode is enabled:
- Chat content is processed in memory only
- Not written to device local storage
- Automatically removes all traces after closing the session
From a technical point of view, ghost mode is realized by disabling SQLite database write operations, turning off the logging module, and using temporary encryption key sessions. Users can quickly switch this mode via mobile settings, suitable for processing containment:
- Confidential information on commercial mergers and acquisitions
- Personally Identifiable Sensitive Data
- Interim authentication dialogues
Typical application scenarios include journalists conducting interviews in dangerous areas, doctors dealing with impromptu patient consultations, or business people discussing undisclosed financial data. Ghost Mode ensures that these sensitive interactions leave no digital traces and that conversations cannot be recovered even if the device is confiscated.
