About

Little Code

Read full description

Das Telefon offen irgendwo auf dem Tisch liegen lassen, und eine nicht für alle Augen bestimmte Nachricht kommt an? Eine kleine Information zu versenden, die das Geschäft betrifft und die nicht jeder Nachbar am Konferenztisch mitlesen soll? Little Code kann unsichtbar machen. Die Verschlüsselung ist öffentlich, es handelt sich nur um einen einfach Caesar, der das Mitlesen auf dem Bildschirm verhindert. Und PS: Auch die Leute, die Little Code nicht haben, können die etwas geheimen Botschaften in Klartext lesen. Dazu mehr Informationen auf der Webseite.
