SecureMessages is an SMS/MMS application that allows you to protect your privacy while communicating with friends.
Using SecureMessages, you can send SMS messages and share media or attachments with complete privacy.
Features:
- Easy. SecureMessages works like any other SMS application. There's nothing to sign up for and no new service your friends need to join.
- Reliable. SecureMessages communicates using encrypted SMS messages. No servers or internet connection required.
- Private. SecureMessages uses the TextSecure encryption protocol to provide privacy for every message, every time.
- Safe. All messages are encrypted locally, so if your phone is lost or stolen, your messages are protected.
- Open Source. SecureMessages is Free and Open Source, enabling anyone to verify its security by auditing the code.
This is a fork of TextSecure that aims to keep the SMS encryption that TextSecure removed for a variety of reasons.
SecureMessages focuses on SMS and MMS. This fork aims to:
- Keep SMS/MMS encryption
- Drop Google services dependencies (push messages are not available in SecureMessages)
- Integrate upstream bugfixes and patches from TextSecure
- In TextSecure, export a plaintext backup. Warning: the backup will not be encrypted.
- Install SecureMessages.
- In SecureMessages, import the plaintext backup (this will import the TextSecure backup if no SecureMessages backup is found).
- If TextSecure v2.6.4 or earlier is installed, update or uninstall it so it doesn't conflict (can cause errors with key exchanges).
- Enjoy SecureMessages!
Note: You will have to start new secured sessions with your contacts.
See CONTRIBUTING.md for how to contribute code, translations, or bug reports.
Instructions on how to setup a development environment and build SecureMessages can be found in BUILDING.md.
