G Data Secure Chat
Since last year, when cases of spying by governments and companies were uncovered in almost all areas of Internet users , privacy and security have been two of the factors most demanded by the population. And it is that nobody wants to know what is being said in the privacy of a conversation on WhatsApp, or the web pages that are visited from home. Something that has resulted in a good number of tools that seek to guarantee the same, and in which the security company G Data has wanted to contribute its grain of sand .
That is why it has announced a new private messaging application that claims to be proof espias A tool with which users of the platform Android could communicate without fear that the data, messages and information shared would be captured and read by third parties. And it is that its protection allows to encrypt communications and shield them against attacks with a well-known user-to-user technology That is, with a code that only the sender and receiver know, thus preventing these messages from being deciphered even if they have been stolen.
This is G Data Secure Chat, an application that will be released next April and that not only protects text messages sent and received, but attached content such as photos. Thus making sure that no one else sees their content.To do this, it uses the Axolotl security protocol, which comes from TextSecure, more recently known for offering another protocol similar to the application WhatsApp to encrypt your conversations. However, this G Data Secure Chat protocol is considered to be virtually inviolable and one of the most secure by allowing encryption of text and multimedia messages All this regardless of the application being used, as long as the same encryption protocol is used. Therefore, the best option is to use this application of G Data that has it.
The application G Data Secure Chat has encrypted conversations from user to user both individually as in group, so it is not limited when sending mass messages.In addition, it has the possibility to send images and photos Apart from these issues, it is also known that it will contain a insured receipt of the conversations on the SD memory card, thus retrieving any conversation without losing it over time. In addition, it has another security layer of encryption by being able to apply a password to thehistory of messages and conversations.
At the moment little else is known about this application that will take advantage of the event Mobile World Congress to be held at the beginning of March in Barcelona to introduce yourself. Only that it will have a version Premium or payment with full protection, being able to avoid phishing or forgery attacks , filter messages or even hide those you don't want to have in sight.
