🔐 Oversec - Privacy for All Apps!

Oversec transparently encrypts and decrypts any text in any app.

Oversec constantly monitors the text on your screen. When it finds an encrypted text, it tries to decrypt it and then shows the decrypted text as an overlay in place of the encrypted text. Conversely, it can read text out of an input field, encrypt it, and then put the encrypted text back into the input field.

Oversec also features a unique way of encoding the encrypted messages. It stores the encrypted text in invisible (zero-width) characters and let's you add decoy text at the end.

You may also encrypt and send photos through Oversec - its unique camera mode even allows you to take and send an encrypted photo without ever storing the original photo on the device.

Oversec encrypts your data either using symmetric keys (using ChaCha20 cipher + Poly1305 MAC) or using asymmetric PGP encryption (making use of the OpenKeychain app).
