If you think someone is watching your SMS or if you are afraid that your SMS fall into the hands of a hacker or worse NSA (we have already seen the scandal of Prism) while TextSecure is for you.
TextSecure replaces Android SMS application to allow you to encrypt the content of your messages on the fly. Not only SMS are free, but they are confidential!
TextSecure is a mobile phone application for the Android platform, designed to encrypt SMS when sending or retention on your Smartphone. The server never has access to your communications and does not store any data about you.
Included in the basic alternative system Cyanogen, TextSecure is now available in beta for all Android device owners, even those who are not "Rootes". App will advantageously replace your SMS sending module to offer you encrypt your text messages or MMS before sending them to your recipients. Even if a government or a hacker manages to intercept your correspondence, the curious ones will have in the hands of an incomprehensible following characters.
Another advantage of this application is that your text messages are stored on your Smartphone into an encrypted database protected by a passphrase. So if you lose your phone or it is stolen, your messages will be unreadable for those who do not know your passphrase.
Of course for this to work, TextSecure must be installed on your friends' devices. But the growing popularity of Cyanogen and the fact that the app is no longer only reserved for Rootes devices expands the potential number of people who can benefit. This is for ordinary citizens to protect their privacy and for professionals to avoid industrial espionage, for example. Of course, the code is open so no possible backdoor source
