It has a very straight forward user interface that allows the user to type a message that enter an unique key, aka passaword, to encrypt the message. This key is unique to the given message and only it can decrypt the message. Password is also case sensitive to further improve security.
You decide on a key and only that perticular key can decrypt the encrypted message.
Features:
- Encrypt any text with a pasword of your choice.
- Choices to Text/SMS, Copy to Clipboard or Email without leaving the application.
- Paste encrypted text directly to decrypt.
- Easy-to-use minimalistic interface.
- It's FREE!
Encrypting
Simply make sure the app is in the first tab, 'Encrypt'.
Type a key, which is case sensitive, and the strength of the key would be displayed by the bar below the text box.
Tap on the message box and simply type the message that needs to be encrypted. Text could be also pasted from the clipboard by double tapping on the message box.
Finally, tap the red 'Encrypt' button to encrypt the message. Please remember to notify the key to the receiver outside of the app in order for this application to be fully useful.
After the message has been encrypted user gets three choices by tappping on the green 'Action' button:
'Send to TEXT/SMS' will copy the message and open the defualt TEXT app. Then the user can simply start a new text message and double tap in the message field to paste the encrypted text. At this point, it is very important to remember that the key is not copied with the message. We implmented secretTEXT this way to further protect the privacy of the message and prevent any intrusions. Key could be pre-decided between the sender and the receiver.
'Send to Email' will open an email with in the app with some pre-planned context. When the email is displayed, it will contain the encrypted text and some extra notes to help the receiver recognize the email. Sender then would simply have to insert the email address and simply click 'Send'. Again, stating the key would be omited to improve security.
'Send to Clipboard' is same as copying the message from the message box. With this option, the user is free to do whatever with the copied text. It could be pasted in to another app, another email, or another texting message.
Decrypting
Assuming the user knows the key and the message is already copied in to the clipboard, simply tap on 'Decrypt' tab in the main tabbar at the bottom of the screen.
Type the key in the 'KEY' frield and tap 'Paste'. Simply tap 'Decrypt' to un-scramble the text. It is THAT simple!
User can also copy the decrypted message by double tapping in the message field. After it has been copied to the clipboard, exit secretTEXT to paste the message in another app, email, or text.
