Introducing TextLock

TextLock is a new Java-based messaging application meant for Android phones that uses a randomly generated key to encrypt and secure SMS messages.

This app can be very useful for those worried about the security and privacy of messages they send.  With the extreme prevalence of text messaging in today's society, as well as the potentially increased volume of sensitive data through those messages, an app such as TextLock can provide an easy to use, but very reliable safeguard.

Currently we have been working on the cypher that we use to encrypt our text, with a mostly working prototype uploaded to Github.  We will still need to create the application around it, incorporating it into an actual messenger, as well as designing and programming the UI.
