App That Happens To Keep Your Communications Private



John McAfee, a British-American computer programmer and founder of the firm behind the well-known antivirus software McAfee, has unveiled a new encrypted messaging app for smartphones called Chadder on Monday, May 5 at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) festival.

According to a press release, Future Tense Private Systems (FTC), in partnership with Etransfr, developed the free smartphone messaging app that lets anyone send private encrypted messages.
"Chadder is an unprecedented messaging platform. We have developed this highly secure system with an extraordinary team of developers at the prestigious RIT, "said McAfee, founder of  FTC. "Chadder is a fun and easy to use messaging app that happens to keep your communications private; so private that we can't see it ourselves."

Chadder claims it maintain users' information safe and private through the use of key server encryption. This means exchange of messages between two active users cannot be viewed by the messaging app itself. Chadder can only see the encryption codes of these messages. It affirms that only the receiver has the key to unlock the original message, dropping any intrusion in between.
"The social media industry is built around the consumer also being the product. Chadder is here to prove that young people want privacy just as much as adults do. The application is simple and straight forward with a lot of power given to the user," said Lexi Sprague, founder of computer and network security company Etransfr. "At the end of the day it is about giving privacy and control back to the user without scaring them off with complicated log in and messaging processes.
The team behind the program Chadder believes there needs to be a balance between usability and privacy!"

NDTV reported that Chadder appears to be in its Beta version, citing that one of the significant features of the app is still not working. According to NDTV, it has successfully registered and entered the app, but was unable to find a colleague (who also installed the app on his smartphone) after several attempts by email, phone number or  through the use of the name search option.
As of the moment,

Chadder is only available for Android and Windows Phone OS users on Google Play and Windows Phone Store. The press release noted the iOS version of the app is still being tested and will available on App Store in the following weeks.
