Obscura - leaking information

Wed, 01/27/2010 - 15:47 — steveosb

Obscura is the closest thing I've found to TrueCrypt or SecuBox for Android but it leaks information.

When the decryption key has not been entered the secure bucket doesn't show thumbnails however it is still present and it even displays the item count. This item count (and ideally the fact that there is even any encrypted material) should not be visible until the decryption key is entered.

While we wait for PGPDisk, TrueCrypt etc for Android can you please update Obscura to stop leaking this information.

Obscura - leaking information

Just noticed it also leaks the original image's filename (with only the extension changed to ".oisafe") if you browse the SD card.

Image filename

This is by design. If your file name is inappropriate, simply rename it before encrypting it (but leave the extension untouched).
