The three pillars of Hermes
True security isn’t a feature—it’s an ecosystem. If even one link is weak, attackers can slip in, which is why we use a zero-trust, hardened design that stores no unnecessary data across every layer. Our closed, end-to-end approach unites three pillars—Hermes OS, Hermes Chat, and Hermes SIM—so the entire system is secured, not just a single component.
Hermes OS - Engineered for Real Security
Powered by advanced exploit defenses, system isolation, and verified integrity checks, Hermes OS turns your Pixel into a secure stronghold. Every layer is built to stop data leaks, block surveillance, and keep control fully yours — all without compromising speed or usability.

Hermes
| Features | Hermes OS | Android | iOS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Security Architecture | Hardened core with advanced exploit protection, process isolation, and verified boot integrity. Built to resist both known and zero-day attacks. | Good baseline security but weakened by fragmentation and OEM modifications. Privileged services expand the attack surface. | Strong internal security but fully closed system; users cannot verify code or firmware. |
| Privacy & Data Control | Privacy-first by design. Full control over network, sensors, and permissions. Zero telemetry or background tracking. | Integrated with Google services that continuously collect data and identifiers. | Improved privacy controls but Apple telemetry and identity linkage remain active. |
| App Ecosystem & Independence | Runs Android apps in isolated, sandboxed environments — no privileged access required. Full user control. | Largest app library but dependent on Google Play and system-level services. | Closed ecosystem — only App Store apps allowed; limited flexibility and sideloading. |
| Transparency & Verifiability | Fully auditable and verifiable. Users can confirm firmware and OS integrity independently. | Partially open-source, but vendor layers and binaries are proprietary. | Completely closed-source; no user-level verification possible. |
| Freedom & Ownership | No mandatory accounts, cloud lock-ins, or telemetry. True device and data ownership. | Requires Google account integration for most functions. | Requires Apple ID and ecosystem lock-in. |
| Connectivity & Control | Seamless integration with Hermes Chat and Hermes SIM & Wallet for secure communication and global eSIM management. | Standard carrier-based connectivity; no integrated privacy tools. | Reliant on Apple services and carrier ecosystem. |
| Ideal For | Users and organizations demanding verified security, privacy, and autonomy. | Mainstream users prioritizing convenience and app access. | Users seeking simplicity within Apple’s controlled ecosystem. |
| Feature | Hermes Chat | Signal | Telegram |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core Privacy Model | Designed with no identifiers — users don’t share phone numbers, usernames, or emails. Connections are entirely metadata-free. | Requires a phone number for registration and contact discovery. | Requires a phone number or username; contact lists are visible to servers. |
| Metadata Protection | No central servers track who talks to whom. Communication routes are encrypted and randomized across relays. | Limited metadata protection — Signal knows who is communicating (though message content is encrypted). | Metadata and contact relationships are visible to Telegram’s central servers. |
| Message Encryption | End-to-end encrypted by default with ephemeral, post-quantum secure keys. No fallback to insecure transport. | End-to-end encrypted in private chats; secure and audited cryptography. | Only “Secret Chats” are E2EE — normal chats are stored unencrypted on Telegram’s cloud. |
| Server Knowledge & Trust Model | Zero-knowledge architecture. Servers cannot read, trace, or correlate users or messages. | Signal servers know sender and receiver identifiers but not content. | Centralized servers can access metadata and store unencrypted data. |
| Account & Identity | No account, no login, no SIM tie. Each contact link exists only between users. | Requires verified phone number tied to your real identity. | Uses phone numbers or usernames — all linked to a cloud identity. |
| Network Infrastructure | Decentralized message routing using peer-selected relays, enhancing anonymity and censorship resistance. | Centralized infrastructure owned by Signal Foundation. | Centralized global infrastructure under Telegram FZ-LLC. |
| Group & Channel Support | Private, encrypted groups with no server knowledge of participants. Scales securely without metadata leakage. | Encrypted group chats supported, but metadata may be visible to Signal servers. | Large groups and channels supported but not E2EE; content and metadata stored on Telegram servers. |
| Data Storage | Messages and media are stored only on user devices; nothing persists in the cloud. | Minimal metadata storage on servers for delivery; messages stored locally. | Messages and media stored indefinitely on Telegram’s cloud by default. |
| Open Source & Auditability | Fully open protocol and client codebase; third-party audits confirm architecture security. | Open source client and server components (except anti-spam infrastructure). | Clients mostly open source; core server code remains closed. |
| Ideal For | Users demanding total communication privacy, anonymity, and independence from identifiers or centralized data. | Users seeking strong encryption with convenient usability. | Users prioritizing features, group size, and cloud sync over privacy. |
