This Android messaging application aims to reimplement various exsiting privacy centered technologies with a focus on usability. Although this application will help protect users against surveillance, no technology is 100% secure and this application in particular aims to optimize a mix of usability and security. If you only wish to maximize security, there are many other existing tools you should probably use instead.

Tor is an awesome tool but usage requires users to download both Tor and another client app. This can be simplified into a single step by reimplementing Tor like functionality over SMS.

Sorry for the weird naming, its New Orleans themed. A Second Line is a type of local parade we have here. A Throw is anything that they throw during a parade like beads. I'm pretty much copying the Tor design papers I've read. Our application forms a circuit (aka Second Line) between a subset of known Onion Routers (aka Masks). It then passes packets (aka Throws) between every Onion Router (in our case Mask) until it reaches the intended recipient.
