SnapSafe: Just added encrypted video to my FOSS secure camera app

Last year I wrote a free and open source encrypted camera app: SnapSafe https://snapsafe.org/

It was recently featured in the latest issue of 2600: The Hacker Quarterly https://store.2600.com/collections/2020-2021/products/winter...

It provides the strongest possible encryption for photos. However it did not support video, as video presents significant technical challenges due to the volume of data.

Last weekend in the United States we saw a painful example of how important video is as evidence.

Sunday I started tackling the problem, and after some crunching the last few days, have now released version 4.0 of SnapSafe supporting video capture.

I created a simple but effective encryption container format for the video that is streamable and seekable with minimal overhead on mobile devices. It allows for playback, random-access, and scrubbing of videos, without having to decrypt anything to disk. You can read my spec on my SECV file format if that's interesting to you. https://github.com/SecureCamera/SecureCameraAndroid/blob/mai...

You can install from either GooglePlay or FDroid: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.darkrockst... https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.darkrockstudios.app.secu...

(Although, F-Droid takes a couple days for the new build to release)
