Secure Camera

The Secure Camera app is now available on the Android Market.

Secure Camera is an app which will keep your private photos private.

The pictures you snap with Secure Camera will be stored on your sd-card and encrypted using a symmetric key. You'll need to login to the app using a password. Once you've entered the correct password, you'll be able to take new pictures and browse the pictures you've already stored.

You'll only be able to access you pictures through the Secure Camera app, though you'll be able to export your pictures to the sd-card in unencrypted format.

Important Note

• If you forget your password you'll not be able to retrieve your pictures
• Choose a password you'll not forget
• Write down your password somewhere
• If you keystore file becomes corrupt you'll not be able to retrieve your pictures
• Backup your keystore file and keep it somewhere safe. If your keyfile becomes corrupt you can import your backup keystore file.
