WhiteStar HyperSpace Federation Agent is the official app for macOS and iOS that connects your personal devices through secure, private networking. We provide pure post-quantum cryptography (category 5) by utilizing ML-KEM-1024, ML-DSA-87, SHA-512, and AES-256 algorithms. HyperSpace creates direct, on-demand connections between your devices without relying on cloud intermediaries or complicated configuration. Once you install the Federation Agent and sign in with the same email address on multiple devices, HyperSpace automatically forms secure connections between them. You can move files, access devices remotely, and create a seamless personal network across platforms. Everything happens quietly in the background, even across firewalls or while you’re on the go. Each Federation is a private group of trusted devices that belongs to you and represents you as a user. You can connect up to ten devices for free. If you need more devices, or if you want to add HyperSpace Service or Connection Agents to your deployment for advanced remote access and control, visit WhiteStar Communications or contact support@whitestar.io, as these are considered enterprise features. HyperSpace is built to give you real privacy, real control, and real simplicity. There are no VPNs to configure, no static IPs to manage, and no third parties watching your traffic. You get a fast, secure, personal network that just works.
