Hey all.

I was reading about the TextSecure async messaging app and related
protocol, and learned that they had integrated it into CyanogenMod.

https://whispersystems.org/blog/cyanogen-integration/

What it means is, at this system level, any app that sends SMS/MMS to
another TextSecure/CyanogenMod user uses their encryption protocols.
It doesn't need to know anything about it, just uses the normal
android SMS APIs.

This is pretty neat, as the protocol and app are open source, and
seems to be solid crypto, AFAICS.

I wondered if this would be a interesting feature to add to Ubuntu phones?


Thanks
