8 Secure Apps For Paranoid People

Instead of letting your web browser remember your passwords, why not keep them secure? Passible (iOS) is a beautiful password management app that uses the same encryption methods used by banks and the military — AES-256.

Wiper (iOS, Android) is a typical messaging app with a unique feature: the "Wipe" button. Wiping a conversation erases it entirely from both sides of the conversation, so don't count on conversations lasting long!

Signal (iOS) uses a pair of advanced real-time encryption protocols to secure your phone conversations. The app even provides a set of unique keywords on the call screen so you can ensure you're talking to the person you dialed — and not a middleman.

After Mark Cuban's messages were poured over by the SEC, he created Cyber Dust (iOS) to keep away the nosy. The app promises that your "messages never touch a hard drive."

Wickr (iOS, Android) features messages that can only be read on the device it was sent to, zero metadata, and the ability to choose how long until your messages self-destruct. The built-in shred feature "forensically erases unwanted files you deleted from your device."

Bleep is an upcoming chat app that avoids centralized servers and instead delivers messages through a direct user-to-user line. BitTorrent never sees your messages or your metadata, and the company says "anything you say is 'bleep' to us."

With Apple's new mobile operating system, iOS 8, on the way, password management app 1Password (iOS, Mac, Android) will soon let you fill in username and password information by using the iPhone's Touch ID fingerprint sensor.
