Comment on Student teacher arrested for private Snapchat message

Comments

Is it possible to write a custom android keyboard that would let you use these compromised messenger apps by transmitting encrypted base64 text (plaintext to aes binary to base64 and back) and opaquely decrypting it? Could the app act like a translator app, but really provide encryption instead?

what would the benefit of this be over using something built for purpose like signal?

You could use any existing apps like fb messenger or WeChat, and it would dodge the "stigma" some have about signal.
