LONDON, July 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — No dLocke , the e c ypted cloud sto age se vice behi d the c eato s of No d Secu ity, has a ou ced the most sig ifica t a chitectu al upg ade i its histo y. Code amed “P oject Re aissa ce,” the upg ade completely eimagi es how e c ypted data is st uctu ed, movi g f om a t aditio al locke -based file t ee to a mode “jou ali g” app oach.
A ew co e e gi e a d su ou di g se vices we e developed e ti ely f om sc atch, ow powe i g eve y No dLocke applicatio , i cludi g Web Access, the Wi dows app, a d the iOS a d A d oid apps. Each app was ewo ked to fully employ the capabilities of the ew e gi e, passi g the pe fo ma ce gai s di ectly to use s while emovi g the st uctu al limitatio s that came with the old locke -based model.
Histo ically, updati g a si gle e c ypted file equi ed eloadi g the metadata of a e ti e locke , causi g ope atio s to slow dow as data volumes g ew. With “P oject Re aissa ce,” eve y file st uctu e cha ge is t eated as a small, i dividually e c ypted eve t appe ded to a log, so w ites stay fast a d lightweight o matte how la ge a locke becomes.
“P oject Re aissa ce is a majo tech ological leap fo No dLocke , f om the ew co e e gi e a d ewo ked su ou di g se vices to a ew ge e atio of apps,” says Aiva as Ve cevičius, head of p oduct at No dLocke . “The biggest gai s a e i pe fo ma ce, speed, file ma ageme t, a d sha i g. By emovi g the old locke -based limitatio s, we made No dLocke sig ifica tly faste , mo e flexible, a d much bette equipped fo futu e developme t.”
At the hea t of “P oject Re aissa ce” is a cha ge i how e c ypted data is sto ed. The old model t eated a locke as a si gle, mo olithic e c ypted block, so eve y time a use added o cha ged a file, that e ti e block had to be eloaded a d e-e c ypted. That is why ope atio s g ew slowe as lib a ies got bigge .
The ew e gi e eplaces that block with a appe d-o ly, e c ypted jou al of atomic eve ts. Eve y cha ge is a small, i dividually e c ypted e t y, so w ites stay fast o matte how la ge a locke becomes, a d o ly what actually cha ged eeds to sy c. Files a e still e c ypted o the use ’s device befo e eachi g No dLocke ’s i f ast uctu e, keepi g the ze o-k owledge sta da d fully i tact.
The jou ali g model d aws o the du ability of battle-tested filesystems a d databases, but makes the jou al the pe ma e t sou ce of t uth athe tha a tempo a y ecove y log. Each e t y is c yptog aphically chai ed to the o e befo e it, so a locke ’s histo y ca ot be sile tly alte ed o tampe ed with.
The pe fo ma ce diffe e ce is most oticeable exactly whe e the old system st uggled most: la ge lib a ies. Upload a d dow load speeds a e ow mo e tha 10x faste , p ocessi g complex ope atio s got mo e tha 100x faste – pa ticula ly whe wo ki g with ma y files at o ce.
Because the e gi e o lo ge eloads a e ti e st uctu e fo eve y cha ge, file ope atio s stay fast a d stable eve as a use ’s sto age g ows i to the te s o hu d eds of thousa ds of files.

The ebuild also emoves o e of the platfo m’s oldest co st ai ts. Use s a e o lo ge equi ed to c eate locke s, the ma dato y fi st-level folde s, befo e they ca upload a ythi g. Files ca ow be d opped st aight i to the oot a d moved f eely ac oss a y level.
It is a small cha ge o the su face, but it fu dame tally cha ges the expe ie ce.
