WASHINGTON, Sept. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Silent Circle, the global encrypted communications firm revolutionizing mobile device security for organizations and individuals alike, today announced the availability of its Silent Text secure messaging and file transfer app for Android devices via Google Play.

Silent Text for Android's features include:
-- Burn Notice feature allows you to have any messages you send
self-destruct after a time delay
-- Send map locations encrypted and controlled
-- Peer-to-peer key management -- keys are on each device, not on Silent
Circle's servers
-- No one but you and the person you are texting can decrypt and read the
information
-- Send any file up to 100MB
-- Revolutionizes secure business and personal communications with a tap of
the finger
"Relentless surveillance and espionage by state-sponsored, commercial, and criminal actors worldwide continues to demonstrate vulnerabilities in cellular calls and mobile communications that executives, government officials and others rely on everywhere they travel," said Silent Circle CTO and co-founder Jon Callas. "At a time when large-scale network monitoring is making many cloud, telecommunications and other businesses' privacy policies almost moot, our services give employees and individuals with sensitive information the confidence to communicate and collaborate anywhere."
Silent Text for Android adds to Silent Circle's comprehensive set of private, peer-to-peer encrypted communications services including Silent Phone for secure mobile voice and video calling and encrypted voice and video communication on Windows PCs with Silent Circle Desktop for secure calls and conferencing.
"With our latest versions of Silent Phone and Silent Text, we give iOS and Android users a private, end-to-end encrypted platform for calling, messaging and sharing files designed to be inherently more secure than other mediums," Callas continued. "Beyond strong encryption, our apps give users important, additional privacy controls, such as Silent Text's ability to wipe messages and files from a recipient's device with a 'Burn Notice.'"
