Your Selfies Are Insecure. Here's How to Encrypt Them

Encryption shouldn't be synonymous with bad design. Check out Signal, an app made by the crew at Open Whisper Systems that allows for secure, encrypted text messaging and phone calls between Android and Apple phones. Plus it's ad-free and costs nothing -- a perk of the company being a non-profit.

It will be interesting to see if cellular users choose security over speed: given that ads are the big profit center for content providers, the efforts to seek lizard-brain keywords for them will continue, but the fact that they are being shown won't change no matter how well they're targeted, so I don't see much of a future for encryption apps.
