Send and receive secure SMS messages - Away from prying third parties

London 2/06/2006 10:05 AM GMT (TransWorldNews)

Fair Internet introduces Kryptext, a solution, for sending and receiving secure SMS text messages.

Kryptext encrypts SMS messages to protect its content from snooping by third parties that could profit from this information.

As the popularity of SMS keeps increasing, more and more incidents of SMS interception are being reported. It is surprising that telecom and SMS providers are not offering reliable solutions to safeguard text messages from prying eyes.

Bee Ebéné, MD of Fair Internet believes that: “Kryptext is positioned to service those businesses and individuals who feel very strongly about their right to privacy and want to take security into their own hands”.

Three types of interception are possible,

physically checking a mobile phone for suspicious content,
through operators at telecom companies who may want to leak text messages to the press,
and finally through technology used by government agencies.

Kryptext allows users to send and receive confidential messages securely via SMS. The messages are transmitted and stored in encrypted format. Before using Kryptext for the first time, the user is verified by various methods like the unique number code of the mobile phone and password protection.

Kryptext runs on the most popular smart phones with a Symbian 60 operating system, like the Nokia 6600 or the Sony P900. Kryptext is a mobile-to-mobile solution that can be ordered at the Kryptext website inexpensively for £6.99.

We live in an intrusive world where personal information is becoming increasingly difficult to protect. By using Kyptext in your business and private life your private SMS messages will remain FYEO.
