+ - PGP Encryption comes to GTalk (Android)->

Submitted by kstych
kstych (2982807) writes "SecureIM is a Secure-Chat Android app which does on-the-fly PGP encryption of all chats. These days organizations and governments spy on everyone to target ads or in the name of security, however there is no excuse of not demanding and having access to privacy.

SecureIM secures your communication in 2 ways
1. Secure Transmission :- A chat message will be encrypted and only readable on the device it is sent to/from.
2. Single Use Keys :- The Keys generated while messaging are discarded when the application is closed, which means it is impossible to decode a message once the app is reloaded.

The application is extremely simple to use, no need to bother about the complexities of encryption and underlying privacy details, rest assured your messages will always be out of reach from snoopers.

This app uses Public Key Cryptography, each session generates its own private/public keys.
Keys are never stored but kept in memory until the app is running."

+ - GTalk+PGP Encryption : Why hemlis is not the solution->

Submitted by kstych
kstych (2982807) writes "Though Heml.is just crossed 150% of their funding goal to build a new plateform for messaging (a new IM service @heml.is) which will use public key cryptography, and al-though this is still in idea phase, is this the best that can be done?

Encrypting existing plateforms in a simple and clean way is another approach which has far more advantages, SecureIM is an Android app which transparently PGP encrypts messages completely in the background by generating pek-pairs on the fly.. extending similar approach to all existing IM platforms can be a good option."

Documentation is the castor oil of programming. Managers know it must be good because the programmers hate it so much.
