Secure Chat has opted for the secure multiple-encrypted asynchronous chat protocol, Axolotl, which is internationally considered to be practically impossible to hack. The app guarantees the secure exchange of photos, videos and other media. It protects the privacy of the user from the hackers and cyber eavesdropping.
"In today's world, the privacy of the individual as well as businesses is in constant peril with the growing ability of hackers to tap into and steal data," said Andy Hayter, security evangelist, G DATA. "We created the SECURE CHAT app with the strongest encryption protocol possible, to offer users the ability to easily communicate with each other without having to worry about the security of their conversations and data."
While installing G Data Secure Chat, it will ask you to verify your mobile number, it will use this number to identify you if you wish to install it on another device. It first sends SMS on your mobile number, but if it doesn't verify correctly — it didn't like my Google Voice number — you have the option to verify over a voice call.
One of the most prominent feature of G Data Secure Chat is to set timer for messages to auto delete from both ends, senders as well as receivers, filter for incoming and outgoing messages and SMS, and its ability to hide SMS messages from specific contacts.
G DATA SECURE CHAT is now available for free in the Google Play store.
