HIPS is a unique encryption software that enables the sharing of encrypted text messages and images on social networking sites.

With HIPS, you can now feel comfortable posting text messages or images in encrypted forms without worrying about exposing the contents to the unwelcome or casual viewers.

You have different circles of friends, relatives, or family members. Not everyone of them should be entitled to access every aspect of your shared information. HIPS encrypts text messages and images with specific encryption keys so that you can grant access selectively to your receivers.

Only individuals with whom you share the encryption key can access the message or image contents encrypted by that key.

You can generate an unlimited number of encryption keys and assign them selectively to your target viewers.

The encrypted items are time sensitive. You configure the key and determine the life-span of the items encrypted by it. An expired key can no longer access the encrypted contents.

You can post an encryption key in the public so that anyone can import it to access a time-limited message.

Because the encrypted contents are not exposed plainly in sight, the chance for you to inadvertently expose opinions or images of sensitive nature is much reduced.

HIPS is not only meant for encryption. You can use it creatively to add effects to a greeting. An encrypted message or image is such a fun way to present a surprise message.

HIPS is also a great substitute for Twitter text messages. A HIPS text message reliably holds more than 500 characters (and very often 900 characters), far exceeding the Twitter text limit.

All HIPS items (text, image, and encryption key) are formatted as standard images so that they can be stored in your iPhoto library for easy access and management.

Unlike many encryption apps in which the password is the sole security measure, encryption and decryption in HIPS require both a password and an active key, thus further limiting the chance of password mishandling or breaching.

Owing to its multi-layer security design, HIPS also serves as an excellent encryption tool for the protection of personal data, passwords, or other vital text- or image-based information.

HIPS’ keychain provides an effective way to help you store and manage a large number of passwords for different purposes.
