With all the commotion launched since Snowden and related to user privacy, It has unleashed many developers and companies that take security as very important to be able to give the user the feeling that their messages will not be looked at by third parties. Telegram has been one of the messaging services that has taken advantage of this the most by launching a service that advocates for what are secret chats and encrypted messages to offer privacy and security like no other.
Apart from Telegram, as of today we can access a new multiplatform service that will allow us to send messages for free between Android and iOS users with the joint solution of Signal 2.0 and TextSecure. This new solution launched by Open Whisper Systems with Singal 2.0 for iPhone in conjunction with Redphone and TextSecure for Android offers a totally free and open source quality service that distances itself from others that require a monthly payment to access encrypted messaging.
No subscription and open source
The best thing about this Open Whisper Systems solution is that it is open source, which It even allows other developers to bring the encrypted security protocol to their own applications to offer this good encryption alternative to its own users. The other great advantage is the non-existence of a monthly fee to access a high-altitude encrypted messaging service.
High-rise I mean because with Open Whisper Systems We are not facing a new player who now arrives like this first, but even popular messaging service WhatsApp adopted its security solution for your own platform, so we are talking from experience.
Well designed apps
With Signal 2.0 for iPhone and Redphone and TextSecure for Android We will be able to access some apps that will remind us of the most used ones such as WhatsApp and Telegram, so you will access an encryption of relevant messages and take into account if you are tired of your favorite apps passing security as if it were not something important.
