Moxie's Signal
by Volker Weber
When you use iMessage, your messages are encrypted. When you use WhatsApp, your messages may be encrypted. (Both users need to be on Android.) But when you use Signal, your messages will always be encrypted, no matter whether you are on Android or iPhone.
I installed it on my iPhone. There are not many people on Signal. But the best security professionals I know are.

I've been using Signal for a while now and really like it. The only problem I discover in day to day use is the lack of a version for Windows Phone. But then, that may become even less relevant in the future.
How about https://threema.ch/de/ - they got some decent recognition recently
I was waiting for that. ;-)
Mit Blackberry 10 steht man außen vor, leider. Lässt sich zwar installieren, aber nicht nutzen.
Danke fürs Testen.
Great tip! Thank you. I'm propagating it now to friends and family.
Such a shame that encryption will soon be outlawed in the UK! That kind of security is obviously the refuge of a scoundrel....
or just use BBM, Encrypted, Feature rich, Proven security, Cross Platform
All BBM messages are encrypted with the same key. That's obfuscation, not encryption. For encrypted BBM messages, you need BBM Protected.
On Android, the app from Open Whisper appears to be called "TextSecure Private Messenger".
Always encrypted... but do you check messages there at all? (Hint: http://vowe.net/archives/015098.html)
It's on a single device. If I have that one on me, yes. If not, it may take a while.
