[liberationtech] Encrypted SMS

[Graham Smith]

I'm very interested in mobile technology, and I've been wondering what open 
source solutions exist for encrypted SMS messaging using PKI.

The only obvious project that has come to my attention in this field is called 
CryptoSMS[1], which is licensed under the GPL, and uses ECC for encrypting SMS 
messages between phones.  Key sharing is also done over SMS, directly between 
any two phones which wish to communicate securely.  Their recommendation is to 
visually compare the hash of the public key on the recipient phone to verify 
that it has been shared correctly.

I've not been able to find any serious review of CryptoSMS, or any other 
implementation of secure SMS messaging.  Would any of you helpful people be able 
to point me the right way, or share your thoughts?

BR,

Graham
