Pretty cool service out now. Android version coming soon. From their page:
https://www.mywickr.com/en/about.php
Wickr provides:
military-grade encryption of text, picture, audio and video messages
sender-based control over who can read messages, where and for how long
best available privacy, anonymity and anti-forensic features
security that is simple to use
Wickr deletes all metadata from your pictures, video and audio files, like your device info, your location, and any personal information captured during the creation of those files.
We do not require you to tie an email address to your account, allowing you to be as private and discreet as needed.
We have made this app with the best available security technology, but we strongly encourage you to only send private messages to people you trust.
How private are my Wickr messages?
Your messages are secured with military-grade encryption during their entire life span. They can only be read by you and the recipients on the devices you authorize.
+ info
Can Wickr read my messages?
No. Our service merely facilitates a secure exchange between sender and receiver. At no time is unencrypted message content stored on our servers.
+ info
How anonymous am I on Wickr?
We don't even know your username. And we don't force you to share an email address or other personal information that could identify you to us or other Wickr users.
+ info
Does Wickr log or track my communications or activity?
Minimal logs are kept for the purpose of maintaining system continuity. None of them contain user communications or message tracking information.
+ info
What about my mobile or Internet provider, can they track my communications in Wickr?
Your provider may be able to confirm that you are communicating with our service, but it cannot read your messages and cannot determine with any degree of certainty with whom you are messaging.
+ info
How strong are Wickr's anti-forensic features?
Wickr provides the best anti-forensic privacy protection possible on the mobile platform.
