Text Secure

after listening to jacob applebaum speak at a  conference we discovered an awesome piece of software for androids. it is essentially the same as pidgin’s off the record instant messaging that encrypts the text of communications.Now given that phone carriers log everything this is a HUGE win for the pro privacy agenda. making texts unreadable outside of the sender and recipient.
TextSecure is a security enhanced text messaging application that serves as a full replacement for the default text messaging application. Messages to other
TextSecure users are encrypted over the air, and all text messages are stored in an encrypted database on the device. If your phone is lost or stolen, your messages will be safe, and communication with other TextSecure users can’t be monitored over the air.
Untap your phone!
