Platforms available and targeted:
* iOS (iPhone, iPod touch and iPad)
* many other mobile platforms
Cryptology inside:
* elGamal elliptic curve for message key exchange (384 bit key size)
* AES in CCM with 256 bit key size for message encryption
* additionally any non-message communication between app and server is encrypted using SSL (no heartblead bug)
* encryption library: Stanford Javascript Crypto Library (see http://bitwiseshiftleft.github.io/sjcl/)
* random generator for key generation is a derivative of Ferguson and Schneiers generator Fortuna
* using user input (abitrary movement) for adding entropy to random
