Sometimes you want to share a document, which itself eventually destroys automatically. With Tiger Text on the iPhone is now possible. The secure messaging makes use of Dropbox. You can send people a secure document with a predetermined lifespan. At any time you can revoke the document. The beauty is that the documents provided with encryption and can not be downloaded, forwarded or copied. The solution of Tiger Text is intended for ordinary consumers, but also for companies. Should you put confidential legal or medical document forwarding, you can thus prevent people in many places to store your data. A disadvantage is there: make photos or screenshot you can not stop. But people do not get the original ever owned.
Tiger Text is an online service with an iPhone app that lets you send secure messages. They see applications in the event industry: you can send people a ticket with an expiration date and the possibility of the cards at some point to withdraw. Also, the bank can send you a mortgage,that after the final "expiration date" disappears. Do you have information that quickly become obsolete, like a price list for retailers, you can withdraw a document from that time and you know certainly that people no longer use the old prices.
The idea for the app came when Tiger Text-founders Brad Brooks and Jeffrey Evans had a dinner. Evans would pay but had to leave earlier and wanted his credit card number be shared with Brooks, but only for this one payment. They thought that it would be useful if you could share this information temporarily. Initially the focus was on consumers, but later they realized that it could be useful for business users and in care.
The new function is immediately entered by consumers so they can test. Business users should still wait until the end of the week. If you are the Tiger Text iPhone app installs get instant access to your Dropbox account from the app. Within a few weeks, the feature on Android and BlackBerry available.
