## What is Alan's Pet?

Write a secret message and share it with your friends or groups on your favorite social network. Only those who have the matching key can read your message. Alan's Pet has no backend, works offline and is integrated into iMessage.
This app encrypts your messages with an AES256 block cipher and CBC mode of operation using PBKDF2 and «salt». The keys are stored in the iOS Keychain.
