[app] sms idea - Android Apps and Games
Hello.
Edit August 2014: new information:
I made a new encryption tool for sms. It should be like Fort Knox
ECC SMS
This one encrypts messages with elliptic curve cryptography.
ECC is faster than RSA, need less keylenght and is used in passports, debit cards the austrian e-card and so on.
current keysize is 521 bit. It is based on the mathematical Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP).
Computing power required to solve ECDLP with 521 bit key is 1.3*10^66 MIPS years.
Internal is AES256, CBC and SHA512 used.
- totaly over sms
- no textlimit
- public-key infrastructure (PKI)
- Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme (ECIES)
- equals >15360bit RSA Encryption
- protects efficiently until year 2120
For comparison:
An 15360 bit encryption with RSA over SMS would generate much more data, so that you would need many many sms for one message.
De- and Encryption with the smartphone would last minutes, so this would be impractical.
ECC SMS needs only some seconds for encrypting and decrypting with this high security settings.
Edit: neue Thumbnails.
I was quite interested in this app until I discovered it didn't support my FroYo system
Also, no mention of how decrypted texts are dealt with. Are they written to system as plain text when decrypted thereby permitting recovery using forensic tools?

Hi!
I don't know if this answers your question:
You write the Plaintext into the App.
When you press encrypt and send, the text will be encrypted with the public key of the receiver.
Then the encrypted text will be sent to the receiver.
The receiver's ecc sms app dectects that it's a encrypted sms and intercept the sms.
Then the app decrypts the sms with the private key and writes the decrypted message into sms inbox and makes an alert "new decrypted message received".

I dont understand,
If the encrypted SMS messages intercepted by any person who has installed this program it can be decrypted with private key third person.?
Please can you explain how start first time exchange of messages between two phones and
how can I know if the sms is authenticity from my frend or any other undesirable persons?

No, the private key of a third person does not suit with the public key of the first person.
If you create a KeyPair it consists PublicKey A1 and PrivateKey B1. A1 and B1 are dependent. You can not calculate B1 if you know A1.
Person 1's Keypair is then A1 and B1.
Person 2's Keypair would be A2 and B2.
If now someone encrypts a message with the PublicKey A1 he can not decrypt with PrivateKey B2 or any other Private Key.
Just with Private Key B1. With any other key the calculation of the message fails or the result would be a rubbish Text like the encrypted Message itself.
Every Person has his own keypair.
The Answer of your Question of first time exchange of messages:
Person A wants to write Person B. Every Person has created his own KeyPair.(1 PrivateKey + 1 PublicKey)
Person A requests the PublicKey from Person B.
Person A encrypts Message M1 with PublicKey from Person B.
Person A encrypts Message M2 with PublicKey from Person B.
Person A encrypts Message M3 with PublicKey from Person B.
.
.
.
Person B and only Person B can decrypt the Message M1,M2,.. with his PrivateKey.
Is this satisfying for you?
Greetings.

Ok, it's clear,
But what happens if:
Person A requests the PublicKey from Person B.
Person A recive PublicKey from Person B but also the person C intercept mesage from person B,
and then Person C can encrypt SMS with PublicKey from person B and infiltrate in sms exchange between Person A and Person B
Am I right ?

Yes, Person C could encrypt a message with PublicKey from Person B, but what should Person C write to Person B?
This is not useful for Person C.
Person C could instead just make a KeyRequest to Person B if he wants to know the PublicKey of B
The Public Key is called Public Key because the Key is and should be Public, thats how public-key infrastructure works.

Okay, this is because the extreme heavy encryption.. (like 16k bit RSA)
The calculation of the message needs some power.
That is one reason why not enough calculation power on earth exist to bruteforce the keys.
Your S3 with Quad Core has much power.
The single cored Xperia J needs some time with 1GHz.. that causes a little UI-lag at receiving.
hmmm, i will look, if i can multithread it at receiving too, that this UI lag doesn't appear on slower phones.
Just for information: With 16k RSA it would take 64 times longer than with same much more efficient algorithm at ECC SMS's ECIES.
greetings
Ok, I understand
I have another question,
All mesage between two phone go from viber mesage, but I want go sms mesage.
How set this?

Interesting.
This is normally not possible. I installed Viber and there is a point in properties in english like "answer free with Viber instead of SMS".
But Viber should not be able to interrupt outgoing SMS
Maybe your Viber just shows SMS from inbox?
greets
you're right, my Viber just shows SMS from inbox, and all is Ok,
What is difference between paid version and free version?
In free version encryption is very strong and crypted message using much character in SMS.
example; word " I'm going home " use two regular SMS space 160 character.

paid supports the developer
no ads, no popup in sms write page and no waiting if you use it often.
Yes minimal Messagelength is 2 SMS. This is because of the heavy encryption.
For comparision:
If you would RSA encrypt at same security level (with a 15000+ bit key), the message with just one word would need 20+ SMS and encrypting would take some minutes.
WOW, it's very strong encryption
What is the ratio the length of the key, for same security level between RSA and ECC?

This app is very promising especially with regard to the level of encryption and speed of encryption.
However as someone pointed out on google play reviews and was not responded to -
The fact that the app auto decrypts the received encrypted message and write it as plain text to phone memory is a potential risk, as then even if the user then deletes this plain text message from the phone, it can still be resurrected with forensic tools from the phone memory.
A solution will be - for the app to show the decrypted message within ECC SMS only and not write to the phone sms database.
...and also access to any database within ECC SMS should be encrypted.
Can you comment on this please.
Thanks

Hi boob,
first point: pgp and ecc sms are here to protect the transmission of the sms messages and not the security of your phone.
also, if the message would be saved in a ECC SMS's database, it would be the same piece of memory.
second point:
if your phone is not secure, any secure transmission will not be.
then there is no way to make the phone secure.
if you need a password to enter the ecc sms message memory, an spy app could just log you keyboardinput.
in the case - there would be a clean phone:
there are many problems with an encrypted database - why?
if you get a sms message, how would the message be saved in this encrypted database without knowing the password?
so, you would have to enter the password everytime to allow ecc/pgp sms the encrpytion of the message in the database.
else, if you have a "save password" option - once more every thing is somewhere on the memorycard and useless.
do you understand?
PS: In Android 4.2+ (4.4) there is no way to save the messages in sms inbox anymore.
so i will have to do some work anyway to make pgp/ecc sms work fine there.
greetings

Intercepting Text Messages
I get alot of text messages from some people and my partner would like to be able to intercept those messages so he can have a copy of them on his Wizard. How would he go about doing that?
You want all you SMS messages forwarded to another phone?
think he want to set rules for which ones are forwarded
Your "partner" can't intercept them.. But you can do one of two things.. Either create a program intercepting all incoming SMS'es, always forwarding them to him. You could append the sender phonenumber in the body of the sms or something so he'll know who it is from.. The other thing you could do .. is write a client/server app, so when you get an sms, it's intercepted and posted to a homepage/server you have.. Your partner could have a clientversion which regurarly synchronizes the data from the server and adds them to the cemail.vol file.. making it seem that he ha got the sms aswell.. Another thing again .. you could just make another app which sends the incoming sms as an email to your partner.. Many ways to do this.. but he can not intercept them.. you have to forward them either as an SMS, Email or pure data via a server solution you code/develop...
"Either create a program intercepting all incoming SMS'es, always forwarding them to him. You could append the sender phonenumber in the body of the sms or something so he'll know who it is from.." he can also make a program which only intercept sms's from a list of phone numbers or where surden texts or char's are present but the program would need to run all the time and periodicly check for new sms's
i would like a program to reject sms messages or mms messages by phone number like i was able to do with my old phone.

MOD EDIT: this is obviously illegal.
lets move this discussion to the Q&A section
beastlybit81 said: Hey all. Nearly 2 years have gone by since the last post in this thread and I know technology changes over time. I've done some reading about intercepting SMS/text messages but I was wondering if there are now any other ways to do this. I want to be able to intercept text messages sent and received from one particular CDMA mobile phone number, or to have them forwarded to me without the person's knowledge. I don't have physical access to this person's phone, but if it helps I do have their ESN/MEID for their device. I'm not so worried about intercepting phone calls or anything. I can get close enough to the user's phone though to be on the same cell tower as them if needed in order to intercept or have the SMS messages forwarded to me. Are their any options for making this possible without direct access to this particular device? I understand the idea behind copying the identity of the target phone using a SIM card, but again, I don't have physical access to the phone in order to do that. Thanks! Click to expand...

The Mobile Secretary
Hello, I am currently using the Mobile Secretary as my program to auto-respond to missed calls. As viewed here: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/...secretary.aspx As you can tell it is quite outdated and need something a few more features. (excluding international texts being the primary concern) Can anyone recommend any applications? Also I think it's worth mentioning I have a Samsung Ace i325 with windows mobile 6 standard.
OK, the source is available, so you're on. Be specific about what you'd like to have changed.
godefroi said: OK, the source is available, so you're on. Be specific about what you'd like to have changed. Click to expand... Click to collapse The most important feature I need is the ability to: -exclude international callers. (and SMS if that feature is added) -ability to automatically reply to SMS/text as well. Some features that would be a bonus: (in order of importance) -Ability to have 6 saved messages I can switch between -Number of rings before the phone auto hangs up -Max number of SMS that can be sent to one person -Log of amount of SMS sent per session -Log of phone numbers that SMS were sent If I can get a program like this working on my current phone I will definitely pay for it.
When you say "exclude international callers", you mean don't automatically send back the SMS when you miss a call from an international caller? Why don't you just leave international callers out of the group? As for automatically replying to SMS, how would you like the reply to be handled? Would you put a message in for each group, and SMS from people in that group would get that group's reply?
When you say "exclude international callers", you mean don't automatically send back the SMS when you miss a call from an international caller? Yes. Why don't you just leave international callers out of the group? I only really need the "Default" and "Unknown Caller" groups with both sending the same message. I don't plan on using the groups to send specific messages to certain people. I want to send the same SMS to all missed calls. Unless I am missing something but I don't see how to filter out all Int Calls? As for automatically replying to SMS, how would you like the reply to be handled? Would you put a message in for each group, and SMS from people in that group would get that group's reply? That would be a nice feature, but all since I am only using two groups with the same message, it probably isn't necessary. I just need it to auto-reply one SMS to all received SMS.
If all you're looking for is a quick little app to auto-SMS any missed calls (excluding international calls) with the same message, that'd be really quick to whip up.

That plus auto-SMS to all texts would be great. I would also need a manual filter for a few numbers that I know don't want any SMS sent. (paycard numbers in particular) (I currently use a "third group" on mobile secretary to "filter" out those auto-SMS, forgot to mention that earlier) I definitely don't need an intricate program =)
Any way to manually insert SMS Messages into Android SMS Database ?
Hi guys ... I have a really silly question .. I have an old Blackberry Curve 8700 which has some very important SMSs in it .. I would like to copy over all the SMS from this Blackberry Curve 8700 into my new HTC Desire Z ... Problem is I dont see any tool for the Blackberry which allows me to export SMS messages .. So my only option is to maybe somehow open up the SMS Database for my Android phone is some editor, and manually plant the SMSs from my blackberry by manually typing them in, and also setting the correct times as to when I received them, or when I sent them out .. There are only like 10-15 messages so I don't mind manually typing them in if I have to, but because they are so important, I have to somehow copy them over .. Any suggestions ? Is there any tool available for the Androids which allows you to dissect and operate on the SMS database in an Android phone at low level ? Any other suggestions are welcome too ...
What exactly is a "very important SMS" and why couldn't you simply just record the information in a text file or write it down somewhere? Email it to yourself? Why does it need to be loaded into the SMS database of another device? Why must it remain an SMS? I hope that's not prying, but I just can't seem to understand why it would need to be kept in "sms format"

auto encrypt/decrypt sms app request suggestion

And I hope that I never do add that would leave a huge security vulnerability in Android. Yes I know that sms can be read by any app.. But not as far as i have found anything that intercepts incoming or out going sms. The app you linked to is very similar to smssecure which is a open source sms encryption system formed from text secure when they went internet only messaging. Sms secure is the standard for sms encryption. There is even a version around that doubles the key length used. I don't know of anything better for sms
Message Forwarder - SMS, MMS, and Call Notification Forwarding
Thread for the Message Forwarder App. This is a good way to reach the developer with any questions, concerns, or feature requests you might have in mind. What is Message Forwarder? Message Forwarder allows to automatically forward incoming text (SMS) messages, multimedia (MMS) messages, and phone call notifications to any phone number or e-mail address of your choice. Just tell the app what kind of messages and calls to handle and where to send them to, and Message Forwarder will take care of everything from there. - Specify phone numbers to filter the messages and phone calls by. - Specify phone numbers or e-mail addresses to forward the messages and call notifications to. - Set up thorough and flexible manipulation rules to automatically modify the content of the messages before being forwarded. Very useful for those coupling this app with automated systems that make use of keywords. - Attach information of the original sender or caller on the forwarded message. - View a history of the messages forwarded, along with all their attachments in the case of multimedia messages. - Specify days of the week and times of the day in which messages and call notifications should not be forwarded. Very useful for those not interested in forwarding messages during off hours, like weekends or weeknights. - And much, much more. Looking forward to hearing your feedback.
Screenshots Attaching screenshots of current version (Version 1.2.6.XDA) PS: I am a satisfied user of the app, Just giving my inputs to the forum.
My Simple review: I am looking for an app that can forward selected SMS from (secondary)mobile to email and found this app. Feedback: The app is easy to setup with step by step screen, DEV had well thought the flow of the setup. I don't find any unnecessary permissions that can misused. Each time by watching the 10sec ad APP provides 170 quota to use the app. No need to pay upfront ($5 for onetime purchase) Few options I like in the app: Able to forward SMS/MMS/CALL LOG We can forward from ALL/SELECTED contacts and have Single or Multiple Targets (email/phone) Use of FILTERS/RULES & Scheduling. Few requests/suggestions to DEV: I feel the current permission request steps are confusing and user may miss few of them. It will be easy if app can request the required access step by step while setting up the app. Provide section/option for required access if user missed granting while setting up the app. Kudos to the app developer, appreciate the efforts. Thanks for sharing with members.

Thanks for sharing with members. Click to expand... Click to collapse Out of all the permissions the app asks for, a few can be moved to earlier in the configuration process (Read SMS, Receive SMS, Receive MMS, Send SMS, Read Contacts, Read Call Logs). Some others must stay in the end because they are required regardless of what options the user picks during the configuration process (Ignore Battery Optimization). I do agree the experience could be improved if we move the ones we can. I'll take a stab at it soon. The user does get an explanation of why each permission is needed, but only if they chose NOT to grant it in the past; as in... "I see you didn't grant XYZ permission when I asked for it. I still need it and here is why". I think we should leave it that way for simplicity. If we move the permission requests to their respective steps in the configuration process, it should be obvious to the user why that permission is being requested. If they reject it, then the app can start giving explanations why they are needed. The app also notifies the user about missing permissions through a system notification when it cannot do something because of the lack of such permission. It also gives the user a reminder whenever they visit the app and a needed permission is still not granted. If the user misses any permissions, they find out sooner rather than later. For now, I can at least move forward with the permission request relocation mentioned above. I'll let you know how that goes.

Excellent app. But, a few caveats need to be filled quickly. 1. Provision for SIM selection of SMS forwarding (should be a part of each rule). 2. The developer has already implemented setting Sender ID quite nicely (inclusion/exclusion) on screen no. 4 of config. - But, it lacks the ability to find partial matches. For example, I have been receiving messages from +4456874***, the last three digits can be dynamic. I want all these messages to be forwarded. - Take another example. all SMS received from number containing ****8808** is to be forwarded. - In short, please make provisions for matching Prefix, body, suffix of a sender ID. 3. SMS from custom sender IDs (sender ID that contains a text string, instead of numbers) was not forwarded. - Example. I keep receiving "service messages" from UKING***, BRISRLY* etc. - With the current version, its not possible to create a rule for forwarding these messages. - Please implement partial matches (as described above) for custom sender IDs too. It has been a wonderful effort already. Big thanks to the developer.

I want all these messages to be forwarded. - Take another example. all SMS received from number containing ****8808** is to be forwarded. - In short, please make provisions for matching Prefix, body, suffix of a sender ID. 3. SMS from custom sender IDs (sender ID that contains a text string, instead of numbers) was not forwarded. - Example. I keep receiving "service messages" from UKING***, BRISRLY* etc. - With the current version, its not possible to create a rule for forwarding these messages. - Please implement partial matches (as described above) for custom sender IDs too. It has been a wonderful effort already. Big thanks to the developer. Click to expand... Click to collapse Hi, 1- I've been planning on implementing dual SIM support, but unfortunately do not have a dual SIM device to test this on, and the Android emulator does not support it either. Would you like to volunteer to become an alpha-tester of this feature with your device? 2- I'll consider adding some sort of pattern matching for this. I first have to think how to make it user-friendly (not require knowledge of RegEx or anything like that). 3- You should be able to type in any kind of alphanumeric string in the contacts screen, and the app be able to handle it just fine. Are you saying that's what you did, but when a message came in, the app did not process it?

Exact match works. any bit of deviation ruins it.

Hello there and thank you. 1. Is it possible to enable delivery report for sent messages? 2. In Dynamic Content config, I want to search for a specific keyword and if found, forward the message. If i leave the "replace" text empty, it will erase the keyword from message. It's good to have a checkbox to disable text replacement.

I'm not so sure about MMS though; I can't find any Android documentation for it. I'll have to look into it. 2. As far as the Dynamic Content, you can simply retype the keyword in the "replace" field. Essentially this translates to: find "my-keyword" and replace it with "my-keyword"; effectively leaving the message intact. Regards.

It will be easy if app can request the required access step by step while setting up the app. Click to expand...

Older Version I really like Message Forwarder and it has work perfectly for me. BUT my work phone is VERY old and the current version of Message Forwarder will not work. How can I get an older version that will work with Andriod 5.1?

The app stops forwarding after 5 or 6 messages. Unfortunately this app is exactly what I have been looking for an I have not been able to find a replacement.

Click to collapse Hi. Do the failed messages appear in the app's Messages Screen? Are you forwarding to phone numbers or e-mails? If e-mails, what proxy account are you using? Outlook or Gmail?
Message Fowarder I was forwarding to 2 email addresses and one texting/ phone app. When the messages did get forwarded they did show up on the message tab. If they were not forwarded they did not. I am using a Gmail proxy. I changed my configuration to only my Gmail account. Thank you for quick response I hope this is an easy issue to rectify.
