#encrypt message

It the last month when the news broke out that a Backdoor in Android Smartphones sent Americans' data to China. People panicked and were not able to find relief the experts from the company released official statement for valuing the privacy and security of personal information of their customers.

According to Wikipedia - A Backdoor is a method, often secret, of bypassing normal authentication in a product, computer system, cryptosystem or algorithm, etc. Backdoors are often used for securing unauthorized remote access to a computer, or obtaining access to plaintext in cryptographic systems.

In this age where everything is connected and always available, people share and store tons of personal information and data on Smartphones, Tablet PCs, etc. With so much of personal information like contacts, call logs, text messages, app usage and history of activities, encryption is the only solution to stay protected. Moreover, using other messaging apps with chat bots might also make you prone to losing personal information through backdoor access permitted by the app developers or the hardware manufacturers.

An alternative is end-to-end encryption. Encryption is a technology that was once considered to be related to the spies and security services, but now it is definitely needed in every person’s daily life. Encrypting Smartphones and other devices helps protect against malicious hacking, identity theft, phone theft, and other crimes. On the other hand, making sure that there is no backdoor access and no server involved that stores your personal information while exchanging with others is also the key factor to consider. Moreover, securing your communications happening over your mobile device is of prime importance too.

If you feel that your personal text messages could be read by someone else, your private pictures and videos could be viewed by someone else and your communications over SMS might be leaked or hacked, you are not the only one with the fear. People nowadays share and send almost everything using different platforms like emails, instant messengers, chats and more from their mobile devices. All these platforms involve a server from where your information is being sent to the intended recipient in real time and this makes your personal information in the form of private messages, pictures, documents and videos prone to leak.

There are number of apps that offer encryption of text messages. Some offer end-to-end encryption while others only encrypt a message in transit. The EnKryptonite app encrypts the text message content using military grade encryption technology and does not store the user history on their servers. This app does not even provide any backdoor access. We can say that it is a revolutionary app that permits the users to send text messages, photos and videos securely without worrying about any information leak or breach.
