PEANUT TECHNOLOGY
End to End encryption of messages transmitted over-the-air (OTA), as they are stored on mobile carrier networks, or as captured by legal or illegal interceptors. All messages are secured using AES 256-bit encryption

PEANUT Features:

Privacy:
Password protected access to SMS, text and enhanced secure messages received from Peanut Users or, optionally, all messages. You can hide content while you are switching between apps.

Security:
End to End encryption of messages transmitted over-the-air (OTA), as they are stored on mobile carrier networks, or as captured by legal or illegal interceptors. All messages are secured using AES 256-bit encryption. Sending a secure Text SMS is as easy as sending a message. Peanut allows users to turn encryption ON or OFF, as needed and communicate with others who do not have the Peanut secure Messaging application.

Auto Expiration:
Peanut Users may also set a time interval for expiration or deletion of messages sent to others. Messages are automatically deleted from the recipient Inbox once they are read and the time interval expires.

Restricted Messages:
Recipients of Peanut restricted messages can only read the messages and reply to the sender and cannot share the received message. Sometimes some message senders face embarrassment, inconvenience or a problem when SMS are shared by the recipient with the others. This feature restricts Forward, Copy, Backup and other utilities and also blocks them in the recipient’s device.

Priority Indication:
Peanut allows the Sender to inform other Peanut users the priority of the communication they are sending.

Scheduled Delivery:
This feature is handy when messages are sent across the time zones especially while sending greeting for birthdays and to other occasions.

Private Contacts:
Peanut allows the mobile user to setup a private address book and maintain confidentiality of those contacts. Private contacts are not accessible to other APPs downloaded on the same mobile device thus providing a key benefit to enterprise, business, personal and professional use.
