"Deleted from our server" assumes the user has no understanding of data forensics.

We really need TextSecure on iOS soon to stop the proliferation of all of these silly privacy apps. There needs to be a strong cross-platform alternative.

Here here, I go through a range of emotions each time I see a new messaging app and they always end with me checking the WhisperSystems blog.

How about Wickr?

TextSecure is very open about the crypto protocol and provides details that independent researchers can evaluate. It's also made by a well-known expert that we trust to do it right.

Wickr is pretty shady about their protocol.

They also make me uneasy because they use the term "military-grade encryption" a couple times on their site. This is a pretty common snake-oil security term...so it makes me uneasy since the protocol details are nowhere to be found.
