Send Self-Destructing, Secure, Private, Anonymous Messages & Media through Wickr

Wickr - Send Self-Destructing, Secure, Private, Anonymous Messages & Media

Wickr was founded in San Francisco, California by a team of security and privacy experts that believe private communications is a universal human right that is extremely important to a free society. Today, that right is almost nonexistent.

When it comes to secure text messaging, you're often entirely dependent on the whims of the message server. Wickr goes to great lengths to flip that paradigm around, handing control back to you, the sender, It means that you will have full control over the message you sent.


Nico Sell, co-founder of Wickr, said that it was important to the company to avoid holding any sensitive information about its customers on its servers.

Wickr flips messaging on its head, giving control to the sender instead of the receiver (or servers in between). Wickr is becoming the most trusted communication system in the world by giving power to the people.

"Unlike other apps, Wickr does not upload your contact book to our servers; your contacts never leave your device," she said. "We create a cryptographic representation of your contacts that we store on our servers to match with your friends."

Available now on iOS and on Android in the next few days, the Wickr update still uses some of the toughest standards for major encryption protocol available. It uses AES-256 encryption to protect your data; ECDH-521 for the security key exchange; RSA-4096 both as a backup and in legacy versions of the app; and SHA-256 for Transport Later Security and hashing. Once it encrypts a message, the keys are used only once then destroyed by the sender's phone. Since Wickr's servers don't have the decryption keys, there's no way for Wickr to access your messages.

Wickr still may not be for everyone, but for people who value sending private messages privately that are authentically difficult -- if not impossible -- to be read by anyone but the intended recipient -- then Wickr is one of the best messaging apps around.
