"The contents of SMS messages are known to the network operator's systems and personnel. Therefore, SMS is not an appropriate technology for secure communication. Most users do not realize how easy it may be to intercept."

[Source: Gartner, "Don't Use SMS for Confidential Information]

Also, hardware to intercept GSM communications is readily available, and if you're texting to or from a foreign country, your data may not be as protected as you would expect.

The bottom line is that anything which is textually transmitted can be intercepted and read by a third party.

What about protection?

There is a way to render your SMS messages unreadable to everyone except the indended recipient - encrypt them, using the same level of encryption as on-line banking. Encrypt them before they leave your phone, and only decrypt them after they have been delivered to the recipient's phone.

All this is possible with Extended SMS - xSMS


FEATURES:
  • Fully integrated with the existing SMS functionality of Windows Mobile 5 and 6
  • xSMS messages indicated in the Inbox with a "shield" icon
  • Messages opened, replied to, forwarded and deleted in the usual way
  • xSMS messages created by selecting New -> xSMS from the Inbox menu
  • Specify a different encryption key for each message
BENEFITS
  • Keeps personal information personal
  • Allows confidential data to be sent with confidence, with many commercial applications
  • Makes message interception a futile excercise, as messages are illegible until successfully delivered and decrypted
  • Allows xSMS messages to different recipients to be encrypted using different keys


Flaunt your textuality.
