This Message Will Self Destruct After Reading it

March 10th, 2010 | Comments Off | Posted in Tips N Tricks

This Message Will Self Destruct is Sevenwire’s secure way of sending self destructing messages online. Once the message is retrieved, it will self destruct and will also be deleted from their servers. The message is encrypted before it is stored in their servers and the encrypted message is deleted after being accessed.

Creating a self-destructing message is very easy. Simply provide a password and type in your message and save it. If you choose not to place a password, just make sure that you’ll send the message to the right person. The effect will be the same; your message will be deleted after it is accessed by the recipient.

The moment that you save your secret message, a special URL will be provided for you to send to the recipient. You can tell the recipient the password verbally and send the link via email, SMS or chat.

The password is hashed using a heavy-duty hashing utility (bcrypt). As an added bonus, if you provide a password they salt the encryption key with it for even more security. This means that without the password no one can decrypt your secret message, not even them.

This is one way of sending online messages to friends without leaving any evidence Mission Impossible style. You can also access the site through other URLs tmwsd.ws or ⌫.ws if thismessagewillselfdestruct.com is too long of your taste.

Encodor: Encrypt your Messages

July 15th, 2009 | 1 Comment | Posted in Tips N Tricks

encodorThere are times that you want to keep some of your messages private. Encodor is a simple online tool that allows you to do so. You can use it to encrypt short messages and set a password keeping prying eyes from viewing them.

Encodor allows you encrypt up to 400 character long messages. You can set up a 30 character long password for your encrypted message. Just make sure that you don’t forget the password or your message will never be read by the recipient. The recipient must paste the encrypted message on Encodor’s input box and input the right password in order to decrypt the message. It may not be as quick as other web apps that that hides your message behind a password protected page and creates a special link, but it does a pretty good job of encrypting your message. If you don’t mind the extra effort of cut and paste then you’ll find Encodor pretty useful.

If you want something that you can use to keep a message private, Encodor is one application that you can use to accomplish that job. Setting up a password with the recipient ahead of time will be more convenient for him/her. It takes away the time spent requesting for the password in order to decipher your message.
